Jun'gang Fort

　　Introduction       Jun'gang Fort is situated on Jun'gang Hill in the northwest suburbs of Duanzhou District. Built in 1920, it was one of the seven forts constructed in Zhaoqing by Lin Hu, the garrison commander of Zhao–Luo–Yang. The fort is positioned at a key land access point into Zhaoqing, forming a strategic line of defense together with Guiding Hill Fort, which lies in the distance.

　　    The fort command post was built at the western foot of the hill and connected to the main bunker via tunnels. It was also linked to peripheral bunkers to the west, north, and east through a system of trenches totaling 560 meters in length, creating a defensive structure that could function as an integrated unit or allow individual fortifications to operate independently. The command post (main bunker) has a circular plan, with a diameter of 4.5 meters and a height of 1.9 meters. On the northern side of the bunker are five gun ports, while the southern side features an entrance and exit that connect to the external tunnel. The bunker roof is arched and constructed from reinforced concrete. The tunnel consists of both open and concealed sections; the latter has a flat ceiling supported by closely arranged round Chinese fir logs, with a layer of lime-sand concrete compacted over the top. Two peripheral bunkers (sub-bunkers) are located at the eastern and western ends of the command post and are connected via tunnel. These are semi-circular in shape and equipped with gun ports and niches. The outer bunkers are arranged in a radial pattern, with three bunkers situated respectively to the west, north, and east of the command post. Each contains gun ports and niches, and is connected to the central tunnel and perimeter trenches.
