Remains of Japanese Army Fortifications from the Invasion of China

The remains of the Japanese army fortifications from the invasion of China are a cultural heritage site protected by Tianhe District.

The remains of the Japanese army fortifications from the invasion of China date back to the Republic of China era (1938–1945). They are located on the mountaintop north of the Baiyun Airport navigation station in Taihezhang Village, Yushatan, Fenghuang Subdistrict. Built during the Anti-Japanese War, they face southeast and are constructed with reinforced concrete. The site consists of one large and one small military bunker, covering an area of 20 square meters. The smaller bunker has a remaining height of 1.9 meters, side lengths of 3.7 meters, and a diameter of 2.7 meters. Its steel reinforcement has been removed, the roof has collapsed, and only the four walls remain. Both bunkers were built by the Japanese army during their invasion of China and serve as evidence of their occupation of Guangzhou during the war.

On October 19, 2012, they were designated as part of the second batch of cultural heritage sites protected by Tianhe District.
