Dawulun Fort

-Attraction Introduction-Walking up the tree-lined path, upon reaching the fort area at the mountain top, the weathered and solemn ruins of the fort appear before your eyes, narrating historical memories dating back to the Japanese colonial period. From the elevated vantage point, gazing around, the magnificent scenery of the North Coast stretches out below. Looking at the vast horizon, one can't help but imagine the figures of soldiers from days gone by, steadfastly holding their posts and guarding the harbor. -Attraction Features-The strategically important summit of Dawulun Mountain was once a crucial observation post during the Qing-British Opium War. It was only after the Japanese colonial period that Dawulun Fort was newly constructed to serve as a vital defensive stronghold protecting Keelung Harbor. Stepping into the fort area, stone-built structures, ammunition depots, fortress ruins, and cave barracks are still visible, as if one can still glimpse the daily life of the past garrison. Standing at the mountain peak, lush green mountains and the azure coast come into full view. Here, historical significance and natural beauty intertwine, and the tranquil atmosphere makes this an excellent place for people to relax and enjoy the scenery. -Recommended Activities-It's recommended to leisurely stroll along the shaded paths, exploring the north, east, and south gun emplacements, ammunition depots, barracks, and other structures, carefully observing the historical traces of that era. Once at the summit, find a spot to sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery where mountains and sea meet. If time permits, consider heading to Dawulun Mountain, hike to the top of this 'Little Hundred Peak' for an even higher vantage point of the coastal views! -Nearby Recommendations-After visiting Dawulun Fort, you might want to stop by 'Lover's Lake Park' to admire the beautiful emerald green lake scenery. Stroll across the Lover's Suspension Bridge or take photos at the fort's observation deck, letting these beautiful memories become part of your journey.
