Dongjiguanshan North Fort
东鸡冠山北堡垒
A permanent fortress built by Russian forces for the Russo-Japanese War. Its shell-scarred concrete works and exhibition hall are well preserved.
The North Fort of Dongjiguanshan was the core stronghold of Lüshun's eastern line, built by Tsarist Russia between 1900 and 1904. Pentagonal in plan, its concrete walls are more than one metre thick. During the Russo-Japanese War it was contested in repeated assaults, and Russian Major General Kondratenko was killed here. The surviving bunkers, barracks, trenches and numerous shell craters are complemented by the nearby Russo-Japanese War Exhibition Hall, which displays weapons, photographs and sand tables. Admission is about 40 yuan, and opening hours are roughly 8:00 to 17:00. The site lies about 7 km northeast of central Lüshun. Hiring a car to link it with Hill 203 and Baiyu Mountain is recommended.
