Why go

The forts played a major role in both the Second Opium War and.the Boxer Rebellion. Following the Boxer Rebellion, the forts were largely dismantled. One fort - known as the Wei Fort - has been restored, though it doesn't look the same as it would have looked in the 19th century. Perhaps of greater interest is the Dagukou Fort Ruins Museum, which tells the history of the fort and has a sizeable collection of old cannons and other artefacts recovered from the ruins.
