Xiàngshān

At the mouth of the Yong River, Zhāobǎo Mountain guards the approach to Níngbō. Its position made it an important part of the coastal defences of Zhènhǎi. In 1560, during the Ming dynasty, the commander Lu Tang built the Wēiyuǎn fortress on the mountain and placed four cannon there, strengthening the position against attacks from the sea.
