Military Building sights in Xiàmén

  1. Húlǐ Shān Fortress

    Across Daxue Lu, south of the university, is this gigantic German gun artillery built in 1893. You can rent binoculars to peer over the water to the Taiwanese-occupied island of Jīnmén (金门), formerly known as Quemoy, claimed by both mainland China and Taiwan. Boats (Y106 to Y126) do circuits of Jīnmén from the passenger ferry terminaloff Lujiang Lu.
