The Lion Battalion, located in Ren'ai District, Keelung City, was built in the Qing Dynasty to resist the invasion of French colonialists. The Fort is in a good location and overlooks the entire Keelung Port. It is a good place for tourists to understand that history.
The structure of the fort is very special, the whole fort is a few different compositions, the huge iron cannon is rusty, it has not been used for a long time, and the landing area can still see the protective facilities.
