Tourists take pictures of the Fort Xipaotai relics of the Qing Dynasty-era cannon battlement in Yingkou City, Northeast China's Liaoning province. Fort Xipaotai, first constructed in 1882, was used as a military fortress against Japanese invaders in the Sino-Japanese War, from 1894-95. The site has now become one of the key cultural relics under the state-level protection. [chinadaily.com.cn]
