Wukongding Introduction
Located to the east of Chima Village in Xiyu Township, on the high ground west of the Donggang in Qima Bay beside the Chima Fishing Port, the remains of the Five-Hole Fort can be found. It is named after the five hole-shaped openings in the stone walls of the fortress, which were used to overlook the harbor and monitor enemy activity. The fort was built in the 14th year of the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty (1888 AD) by Wu Hongluo, the 90th Chief of Naval Forces stationed in Penghu. After constructing Penghu City, he proceeded to build the five forts in Xiyu, with the Qima Bay Fort being one of them. The site of the fort is surrounded by approximately 3,000 meters. The barracks (underground cave) form a curved shape following the mountain slope, measuring about 50 meters. There are square openings with five holes on the northwest side to overlook the internal port and outer sea for enemy reconnaissance. Each entrance and exit is equipped with moats shaped like staircases for easy access. Today, while the fort structure has deteriorated, the bunker remains intact and sturdy. A wooden plank walkway has been constructed at the foot of the mountain, allowing visitors to climb to the top, where there is also a viewing pavilion offering a panoramic view of Penghu Bay's beautiful scenery.
