Hulishan Fortress
Hulishan Fortress is an internationally recognized historical and cultural site. The Fortress, built in 1894 during the 20th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign, has more than 100 years of history. In August, 2000, it was listed in "The Guinness Book World Records". The base of the fortress is made of a strange yet surprisingly strong mixture of camphor tree sap, liquid brown sugar, glutinous rice, clay, and sand. The fortress includes barracks, a secret tunnel, commanding tower, sentry platform, ammunition depot, trenches, and castle. The castle is rectangular shaped and is made of granite rocks, occupying an area of 13,000 square meters.
In recent years, the fortress yard has been newly cleaned up and large-scale wall carvings have been built, which demonstrates the course of warehousing weapons, reviving military forces, and resisting strong enemies. Behind the wall carvings there is a small garden that features sculptures interspersed with interesting plants like evergreen grass and golden ball cacti. A sightseeing pavilion built in the high place appears harmonious and its natural surroundings. The scenic spot of Moonlight Rock can be found in the north of the small garden with other attractions like "Dragon Spring Waterfalls", "A Line Sky", and "The Poem Wall of Hulishan Fortress". More
