Hulishan Cannon Fort 胡里山炮台
Choose Hulishan Fort for the contrast between an engineered defensive site and Xiamen’s open coast. The large historic cannon gives the visit a concrete focal point: think about its size and orientation rather than memorising every date. Pair the fort with a short coastal walk if your group wants both history and fresh air. This works especially well for someone who likes machinery or fortifications; travellers looking only for a relaxed beach pause may prefer to spend the whole period outside.
