The Sound of Steel: Hulishan Fort's Maritime Memories

#AugustDestinations2025 Huge, coastal Xiamen's Hulishan Fort bears witness to the vicissitudes and perseverance of modern China. Its thick walls and creaking stone bricks still exude the strength of history. Among the artillery pieces on display, the most impressive is the world's largest Krupp cannon. Its cold steel still resonates with the roar of its predecessors. Walking atop the fort, gazing out at the boundless sea, the sea breeze carries a salty and desolate aroma. This site is not only a military relic but also a symbol of national memory. Every section of stone wall and every exhibit speaks to the resolve of our ancestors to protect their homeland. Hulishan Fort, a place steeped in both iron-blooded heroism and a watchful eye for the peaceful years, reminds us today not to forget history and cherish peace.
