About this place
Buses 1 & 32 both pass by Xiuying Battery. Hop off the bus at Shimao Wan Lu and walk right up the hill a ways. Xiuying Battery is on the right. The battery was constructed in 1891 during the Qing Dynasty to defend against a French invasion. The small park still displays a few large cannons, some of the battery's original walls, and even includes underground tunnels that you can crawl around in. A small museum displays pictures of the Japanese occupation and beyond. (NOT OPEN FOR PUBLIC NOW)
Local bus routes: 1、2、16、24、31、32.

Old Xiuying Battery in Haikou.
Xiuying Battery used to protect Chinese people when invasion in 19 century`s. But it was closed for protecting these old batteries, and you can only see them on the photos now.
