Built in 1884, this fort was constructed to enhance coast defense when the French attacked Taiwan for the Vietnam problem. Shiqiuling is the highest fort among all the forts in Keelung. It is an essential place for the defense of the harbor. The fort was made with solid mountain rocks and the structure was kept well. It is important because it is the only remaining small fort built in late Ching Dynasty. Thanks to its ideal location, the fort offers a great view over the entire harbor of Keelung.
