The fort is worth making a trip to either for the spectacular ocean views, the history and/or the giant cannon. Plan to spend about an hour or two here and make sure you check out everything as there are is good signs and posters but some of the interesting facts are a little hidden. You can get very close to the large cannon and even check out the ammunition that it use to blast off into the sea.
Price to enter for adults is 25 yuan and they have a show at 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.
The bathrooms are clean and are a great place to change before heading down to the nearby Baicheng Beach!

Hu Li Shan Fortress was a major military outpost in Fujian until recent decades. Given its proximity to Quemoy, it has been a pivotal spot for communist China strategically. The current site offers a glimpse of Chinese coastal defense in the past centuries. The whole structure is intact with quite a lot of historic cannons on display. The Taiwanese island of Kinmen is only steps away. Admission is 20 yuan.

The fort was accessible via a nearby parking lot or a short walk from the beach closest to Xiamen University. The fort itself was in decent shape with evidence of recent renovations mostly along the sea wall.
The views from the top of the fort were quite nice with expansive views of the sea and distant islands. Various fort buildings had interesting exhibits.
One of the main attractions was the massive Krupp canon that was installed during the Qing Dynasty and used to protect the China coastline. There were also a lot more examples of military hardware and ammunition scattered throughout the fort.

Huli Hill Fort on the beach behind XMU, has long been considered the door of Xiamen.
The Hulishan Cannon platform is divided into three parts, the battlement area, the barracks area, and the back mountain area. The structure is semi-blockhouse and semi- city wall, with a combination architecture style of both European and Ming and Qing Dynasties .

Xiamen Hulishan Fortress was a fascinating visit for me and well worth you checking out. Located at the very southern end of Xiamen Island and has (naturally) some excellent views of the surrounding waterways. Great preservation of the original fort features including cannon, guns, structures. Also some lovely gardens as well. You can easily spend several hours here so be sure to allow good time to enjoy this lovely attraction in Xiamen.

Huli mountain fort would really omly be worth visiting if you're really really interested in martime history. Rfor everyone else, it's just a quick photo stop, and not really worth the trip.

Huli Fort (胡里山炮台)is an ancient fort that has developed throughout the years and last saw action in the 30's when fighting off a couple of Japanese gunboats.
Entry is 25元. Anyone with a passion in Nautical history is going to find this place of interest. There are displays in the old bunkers, lots of cannons ranging in age from ancient to WWII, and you can visit the museum in the old barracks and command centre. English seems to feature more in the modern history of the fort than the ancient history, with many of the ancient displays having no English at all.
Its a nice place to take a walk, lovely views and photo opportunities from the top, there are some strange things dotted around that don't fit with the history of the fort though, stone crocodiles and mushroom fences etc but overall a good way to spend 1-2 hours.

The place used to be a fort that overlook the waterway formed by Xiamen and mainland China. It was used during the Qing dynasty to prevent aggressors from landing into mainland. It is now maintained as a heritage site for visitors to view the canons used and explore the layout of the fort. What’s disappointing was the lack of maintenance of the artefacts. It also didn’t help that there were hordes of local tourists who do not seemed to be able to respect the artefacts and allowing their children to climb and jump of them, even when there are clear signages that advise visitors against doing so. And the experience was marred by the noise created by loud speaking (screaming) locals.

The port on the island is facing the mainland. I suppose the cruise ship terminal is also there (Donggang Rd.), then it is about 10km to the Hulishan Fort. May take up to 30 minutes depending on the traffic (by taxi).
