Shuncheng Gate

2022/04/21 The city wall is very similar to a modern building, and the roof has a sense of history Penghu City Wall is mostly reinforced with coral reefs as stones, which is a representative of local conditions. Sometimes coral reefs will have a phobia of dense objects after looking at them for a long time.

Historical monuments, Shunchengmen Gate was a defensive city gate during the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning, Penghu City, or Ma Palace City, had six gates in the east, south, west, north, Xiaonan and Xiaoxi. Shunchengmen was actually Xiaoximen. The other five gates have been demolished, and Shuncheng gate is the only relic of the era. Climbing on the city wall, you can blow the sea breeze while looking at the view of the port. It is even more beautiful if you come at sunset.

The door built in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty is very distinctive. The path connecting the urban area and the Zhang Yusheng Story Museum is a bit windy, and the scenery on the door is good and you can overlook the sea.

Shuncheng Gate is located on the way from Central Old Street in Magong City, Penghu to Duxing Ten Village. This is the third time to travel to Penghu. I got up and jogged in the morning. I was a little curious when I saw Shuncheng Gate, so I went to visit. When I came to Shunchengmen, I learned that it was built in 1886 AD (the 12th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and was jointly supervised by the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Taiwan Liu Mingchuan as a defensive city wall. It was also an important military, economic and administrative center in Penghu at that time. Going up along the entrance of the city gate trail, you can see that when it was built, the city wall was unobstructed, showing the importance of becoming a military defensive position. Walking along the small walkway in the city gate, you will see many old abandoned buildings, which should be the administrative center monuments constructed in the past. At present, the Shuncheng Gate is undergoing partial renovations, and some of them have been converted into Japanese-style wooden houses. As you follow the old trail, you will reach the Duxing Shi Village Cultural Park. Therefore, the renovation site should become the second phase of the park. will be more interesting. When you come to travel here, you might as well come in and have a look, you will feel like an adventure, and you can appreciate the historical buildings and restoration and preservation process ?
