Introduction to Shajiaobao Scenic Area:

Shajiao Castle, southbound 10 km, is located in Shajiao Mountain, near the sea and facing the ocean in the south. Dragon Cave Island is clearly visible. Yantai was founded in the sixth year of Jiaqing (180 1). According to Guan Tianpei, commander of the navy, "Prepare for the Sea", the length of Shajiao Fort is 139 meters.

There are four temples and official halls, three official rooms and 17 armory on the stage, all of which are of blue brick structure, and the foundation, crib mouth, blast hole and table top are all granite. In addition, there is a hope building and a ring fortress in the connected Qishan; There is an open-air gun emplacement on Fishing Mountain. Shajiaobao and Dajiaobao tilt from east to west, forming the first gateway of Humen coastal defense.

However, the two groups are more than 3600 meters apart. At that time, the range of artillery was only in the middle, and the effect of artillery blocking the ocean was not enough. After Guan Tianpei became the prefect of Guangdong Navy, he thought that Shajiao Castle was in a critical position and the situation was suitable. He defended Humen Fort again and changed Shajiao Fort into a podium.

All foreign merchant ships must be moored outside Shajiao Ocean and can only pass through after being inspected by our navy. If an illegal ship tries to break in, it will be ordered to stop with the sound of empty guns. If it disobeys orders, it will be fired as a warning. If it does not obey, it will aim at shooting and inform the battery to prepare for the war.

After the fall of the suburbs, soldiers broke through and fought bloody battles. Due to the disparity in numbers, the ammunition was exhausted. Chen Liansheng, deputy commander of Sanjiang Guild, and most of the soldiers died heroically, and Shajiao Castle was also attacked by the British.

In the 23rd year of Daoguang (1843) and Guangxu years, Shajiao Fort was rebuilt and expanded, and its artillery positions were all over the hills connected with Fishing Mountain, Shan Lun Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain and Baihe Mountain in Shajiao Bay. Among them, the Fishing Mountain Fort has also been expanded from the original open-air fort to four hidden forts, collectively known as fishing platforms, including front fishing platforms, rear fishing platforms, left fishing platforms and right fishing platforms.
