The fortress was built in the 14th year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign (1749 CE). Tuancheng was a castellated military training compound used by the Qing to train, inspect, and honor their troops.[2]
The site is especially well preserved.[2] Today, the fortress frequently holds large-scale martial arts events and attracts fans from all around China.[2]
