Gunpowder Fort Introduction
The Xunfeng Fortress, located behind the Longshan Temple on Zhongshan Road, was an early stronghold for the settlement of immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong and for the landing of trade ships. It guards the critical entrance for the Fengshan River leading to the sea, making it strategically significant. Today, only the cannon platform remains. The walls of the fortress are arched and primarily constructed of bluestone and pebbles. The name "Xunfeng" is embedded in the stone wall, and book scroll-shaped decorations made of clay are found on both sides, adding an artistic touch to the rugged fortress.
