Qi Dingshan Paotai

Located at the commanding height of Liugong Island, there are three cannons, of which two caliber Krupp cannons are very powerful. This cannon is large in caliber and has a long range, which is a strong guarantee for arch Weihaiwei. The cannon is installed on a circular track and can be fired 360 degrees. Even after more than 120 years, it still looks majestic, but unfortunately the late Qing government is too decaying, otherwise the history of the Jiawu War will be rewritten!

The Qidingshan Fort on Liugong Island is an important base for the shore defense of the former Beiyang Water Division. Inside the fort was the very advanced Krupp flowering cannon of Germany of the time. Unfortunately, it did not play his due role in the Sino-Japanese War. It is a shame.

Qidingshan Fort is the main fort of Liugong Island. On the top of the mountain, climbing the mountain in summer is a bit sun-drenched, and most people take the cable car up the mountain. There are several main artillery positions on the mountain, which can be condescending over the sea. The cannon should be refurbished or imitated. The German Krupp cannon should be a more advanced cannon at that time. There is nothing to see except the fort on the mountain. But look at the sea view, the scenery is OK. An hour is enough.

Qidingshan Fort, in the deepest part of Liugong Island, after landing from the pier, after passing the Naval Office on the left, go up the mountain at the end. The top of the mountain is the Qidingshan Fort. Liugong Island is the most important gateway to naval warfare in China and the most forward location. It must be guarded by a fort.

Qidingshan Fort is located on the top of the Banner Mountain, the highest point of Liugong Island at an altitude of 1535 meters. It was built in 1890 and is divided into underground bunkers and ground artillery positions. It has 4 24 cm flat-fire guns. The artillery fire can support other artillery on the island, and can cooperate with the artillery on both sides of the north and south to block the two sea mouths. Originally built with a long protective wall, surrounded by the fort, only a few fragments remain. The military building, bunker and ammunition depot are located at the bottom of the south side of the fort, built against the cliff. The fort is divided into three floors, with a reservoir and good ventilation equipment. The shell can be directly raised from the warehouse to the gun position. The gunner can enter the gun position directly along the external iron ladder. The design is reasonable and the structure is unique. Today, the 24 cm flat gun has been copied, and the gun is 84 cm long. It is a German Krupp gun. You can take the cable car fort or walk, which is very convenient.

The Qidingshan Fort is located on the highest peak of Liugong Island, the top of the Qidingshan Fort, which is also named after it. The Qidingshan Fort was built in 1890, and was the highest altitude in the Beiyang Water Division Fort at that time. At the commanding height of Liugong Island, in addition to covering the sea around Liugong Island, firepower can also support other forts on the island, and can also cooperate with the forts on both sides of the north and south to block the north and south sea mouths, building a natural barrier for Liugong Island and even Weihai Bay.

Very meaningful place to go with friends
