Diaoyu Fortress 釣魚城

Located about five kilometers east of Hechuan District and surrounded by the Qu, Fu and Jialing rivers, Diaoyu Fortress is one of China's most famous ancient battlefield. The fortress is known for being the site of a 36- year war, beginning in 1243, during which the Southern Song Dynasty resisted to the Mongol armies. It now still boasts a number of important historical relics, such as an ancient military camp, the Huguo temple and a hanging reclining Buddha. You can also enjoy the river's spectacular scenery and fitful breeze, an amazing experience for all.
