What travelers say:

Weiyuan Fort belongs to one of the ancient battlefield sites of the Opium War. It is located at the exit of the Pearl River in China. At present, Dongguan can be reached directly from the highway. It forms a character with Zhenyuan and Jingyuan Forts, which belongs to the second-heavy gateway of Humen Coast Defense during the Opium War. Weiyuan Fort is the largest and most artillery-fired command station in the Humen Fort during the Opium War. Guan Tianpei, the national hero, took the town in this fort to command the Guangdong Water Division to bravely resist the attack of the British invaders. The Opium War Museum is here, the whole is free, just make an appointment on the public account.
