Mysterious Heavyweight Ancient Cannon Ruins - These 12 ancient cannons were relocated to the current site in 1975. One of the cannons has clear cast characters: "In the autumn of Jiaqing 12th year, under the order of Fujian-Zhejiang Governor Ah and Fujian Provincial Governor, a cannon was cast for the Left Camp of Tainan Water Division, weighing 1000 jin." However, the origins of these cannons are unclear. They might be related to Wang Delu, a native of Chiayi who was the Admiral of the Fujian fleet. Alternatively, they might have been originally placed at the east, south, northwest city gates. Construction of the attraction: Cast in 1807 AD (Jiaqing 12th year)
