It was built by Liu Mingchuan and was an important stronghold for defending the inner harbor of Keelung Port at that time. The battery is built along the mountain. Standing at a high point, you can overlook the entire harbor scenery. Not only is the scenery spectacular, but it also evokes imagination and respect for the wars of the past. At the entrance of the barracks, the four characters "Haimen Tianxian" (Sea Gate, Heavenly Danger) are inscribed on the lintel. -Attraction Features-Walking into the battery area is like walking through a time tunnel to the past. Barracks, batteries, and bunkers stand quietly among the mountains and forests, exuding a quiet atmosphere of historical sedimentation. Walking slowly along the tree-lined path, the surrounding ecology is rich, and you can often see butterflies fluttering and even squirrels darting nimbly, making you unconsciously slow down. Climbing to the highest point, the panoramic view of Keelung Port is unobstructed. The open landscape contrasts sharply with the quiet atmosphere of the surroundings. Gazing at the sea and the slowly sailing ships, time seems to slow down, making it worth experiencing in person. -Recommended Activities-You can visit Ershawan Battery together with the Fortress Command Post and the Shawan Historical and Cultural Park at the foot of the mountain, and then visit the Military Service Park (currently the only preserved 8-inch Armstrong breech-loading cannon from the late Qing Dynasty in the country). You can arrange a half-day tour that combines history, culture, and scenery.
