Description

The Hulishan Cannon Platform was erected in the Qing Dynasty . The platform boasts a huge nineteenth century heavy artillery piece made by the German conglomerate Krüpp. The cannon was strategically placed in 1891 in order to protect the island.

The major attraction at the site is Rongguang Museum, which holds various unusual artifacts, including the world's smallest cannon constructed in the 13th Century. Visitors can also look around the barracks and various tunnels under the platform, as well as the complex's former arsenal and unusual lapidary samples.

Getting There: the platform and museum are on Daxue Road, around 1 kilometer from Xiamen Daxue.
