Fengshan Old City Introduction
The old city of Fengshan County, founded during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, is located in the present-day Zuoying District. It was the first county seat of Fengshan County after the Qing government ruled Taiwan and the first earthen city wall in Taiwan. During the Qianlong period, after the Lin Shuangwen Incident, the old city fell, and political and economic power shifted to Xiapitou Street (now Fengshan District), which became Fengshan New City. However, due to frequent banditry, the new city was difficult to defend. During the Daoguang period (1862), efforts were made to gather government and civilian resources to reconstruct Taiwan's first solid stone fortification at the original site of the old city, which is now the old city of Fengshan County in Zuoying.
