Chenglan Battery Introduction
Fengshan County's Xincheng originally had six city gates and six forts, but now only one city gate (Dongbian Gate) and three forts (Chenglan, Hengsheng, and Xunfeng) remain. They are currently designated as city historical sites known as "Fengshan County City Ruins." Chenglan Fort is located at the corner of Lichi Street and Fuxing Street in Fengshan District (behind Fengshan Elementary School). It is situated at the southwestern corner of the county city and is an irregular octagon-shaped fort. The wing walls on both sides of the fort still clearly show several "gun holes" (large inside and small outside) for long guns. The view from the fort overlooking the moat is expansive.
