Dajiao Mountain Fort

Dajiao Mountain Fort is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

Dajiao Mountain Fort is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit. Perched on the western bank of Humen, it faces Shajiao Fort across the river, guarding the exit of the Humen Waterway and forming the first line of defense for the Humen Fortress. During the Opium War, brave soldiers and civilians fought to the death against foreign invaders here, composing a moving and heroic epic.

Dajiao Fort is located at Dajiao Mountain, Lujing Village, Nansha Subdistrict, Nansha District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. The current fort was built in the 11th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1885) as a breech-loading artillery fort. It is spread across the northern and southern ridges of Dajiao Mountain, covering a total area of approximately 18,000 square meters. The fortifications include Zhenwei, Zhending, Anping, Anding, Anwei, Ansheng, Ansheng (Meteor), and a powder magazine. During this survey, two additional gun emplacements were discovered near the Zhending Fort. It is one of the main forts of the Humen Forts. Each fort has intact gun emplacements, tunnels, and gatehouses, with some also featuring independent powder magazines and military facilities, though all cannons have been lost. Dajiao Fort bears witness to the Chinese people's resistance against imperialist aggression and holds a significant place in the historical opening chapter of China's great rejuvenation. It possesses immense historical, artistic, and scientific value. In February 1982, it was incorporated into the "Humen Forts" and designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
