Dongning Fortress: military engineering inside a hill
The open Xunshan site is one part of a wider fortification group, interpreted through occupation, resistance and remembrance.
Underground passages make Dongning Fortress legible as military engineering, while its renewed exhibition traces Japanese fortifications, wartime violence, resistance and remembrance. Walking the tunnels changes the experience from inspecting a structure to confronting the history of the system that used it.
