Chinese Coastal Battery Hulishan

This coastal battery was constructed to defend the coastal city of Xiamen against a possible British or Japanese invasion. It saw action in 1938, when the Japanese navy attacked and captured Xiamen. Today, the main touristic sight of this battery is the 28cm Krupp gun seen on the picture below.
