The Gongzi Liao Fort (traditional Chinese: 槓子寮砲台; simplified Chinese: 杠子寮炮台; pinyin: Gàngzi Liáo Pàotái) is a former fort in Xinyi District, Keelung, Taiwan.
The fort was built by the Japanese in 1904 after they landed in Keeling following the Treaty of Shimonoseki with Qing Dynasty.[1][2] After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the fort was still used as a military facility and garrison was placed there.[3]
