Iron Fort
鐵堡
A fortified outpost built on rocky reefs jutting into the sea, surrounded by water on three sides. It was once garrisoned by amphibious frogmen and is a popular spot for watching the sunset.
Iron Fort lies on the southwest coast of Renai Village, Nangan. It is a small fortification built on rocky reefs that jut out into the sea, made up of bunkers, firing slits and narrow passages. Surrounded by water on three sides, it was once garrisoned by amphibious reconnaissance troops, known popularly as “frogmen.” Its name comes from its treacherous terrain and its sturdy, iron-like construction. It is now open for visitors to explore freely. At dusk, the rocks and sea turn red in the setting sun, making it a photography hotspot. Admission is free and it can be visited at any time of day. The rocks are slippery and it can be dangerous in strong winds, so take care. It is about 1 kilometer from Dahan Stronghold.
