Attractions connected to Dapeng Fortress Travel Notes of Dapeng Fortress Attractions Tags Asia China Shenzhen Food Detailed Introduction Dapeng Fortress is located in Dapeng Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen City. It is close to the mountains and the sea, far away from the downtown area. It is a national key cultural relic protection site and the source of Shenzhen’s nickname "Pengcheng". This is the best-preserved sea defense post from the Ming and Qing dynasties in China (originally the Dapeng Naval Camp of the Qing Dynasty). It has withstood the flames of war for more than 600 years. It has evolved from a garrison to a civilian residence, sheltering residents of the southeast coast for generations. The Dapeng Fort Naval Camp at that time had a strength of over 2,000 soldiers and a huge granary to store rations. Its defense zone included the entire area of ​​present-day Hong Kong and the surrounding sea. It once sent troops to guard the last area belonging to the Chinese in Hong Kong - Kowloon Walled City. It was a righteous army that defended Hong Kong and the Guangdong coast. Several generals emerged from Dapeng Fortress, the most famous of whom was Lai Enjue, the admiral of the Guangdong Navy in the Qing Dynasty, who was given the title of General Zhenwei. In 1839, he led the navy of Dapeng Fort to bombard the British army, defeating the larger force with a smaller one and winning the first stop of the Opium War - the Battle of Kowloon. This was a rare victory in the history of the Sino-British war and also maintained the stability of Hong Kong and the Guangdong coast. Today, this century-old village, which has stood since the Ming Dynasty, still retains three city towers, hundreds of ancient houses, and the former residences of celebrities such as General Lai Enjue's Mansion and General Liu Qilong's Mansion. There is also a permanent exhibition that tells the 600-year history of Dapeng Fortress, leaving behind rare memories of the Ming and Qing dynasties. #Dapeng Fortress ##Shenzhen Attractions ##Scenic Tours
