Baiyushan

Baiyushan links a view of the enclosed harbour with the history of the tower on its summit. Built in 1907–1909 after the Russo-Japanese War, the tower originally expressed Japanese imperial commemoration. Its survival under a different name makes the hill a place to consider both the strategic landscape below and the changing public meaning of a monument.
