Xunfeng Fort Introduction
The Xunfeng Fortress, located behind the Longshan Temple on Zhongshan Road, was an early fortification set up to defend against landings by immigrants and trading ships from Fujian and Guangdong. It guards a crucial strategic point at the mouth of the Fengshan River. Today, only the main cannon platform remains. The fortress wall has a crescent shape and is primarily constructed of boulders and pebbles. A horizontal inscription is embedded in the stone wall, with mud sculptures of book scrolls adorning the sides, adding an artistic touch to the sturdy fortress.
