Eternal Golden Castle was built in 1874 by Shen Bao-Jhen, one of famous officials in Cing Dynasty. At that time it was used to defend the Japanese army's invasion and maintain the Anping ocean's safeguard. In 1895, when Taiwan was occupied by Japan, Taiwan's people fought against Japanese's battleship by this fortress. During the war between Japan and Russia, Japanese government sold some cannons of Eternal Golden Castle in order to pay for the war expense. Afterwards, the fortress lost its military value. |
