History
The area was built in 1875 during the Japanese rule of Taiwan as a fort to protect the Takao Harbor. It was built during the same time as the construction of Qihou Fort. However, the canons have since been removed, with only arc-shaped gun mounts remaining.[2]
Transportation
The gate is accessible within walking distance west of Sizihwan Station of Kaohsiung MRT.
