Sheliao East Fort, Zhongzheng District, Keelung City, Taiwan
Sheliao East Fort is located in the eastern part of Heping Island, also known as Peace Island. It is like the Shiquiling Fort a small area and quite well hidden.
The fort was built in 1904 by the Japanese as a defense against Russia and was supposed to protect the harbor from the eastern side. After Taiwan was handed over to the Republic of China, a searchlight unit was stationed here. Unfortunately I could not find any further information about the history of the fort.
