Liu'ao, Fujian

Liu'ao Peninsula is about 12 km long, stretched along the north-south axis.

This was part of a concerted program to fight the wokou pirates; other fortresses built at the same time period include Chongwu (in Hui'an County) and Pucheng.

While little remains of the old Liu'ao fortress, a section of its wall has been restored, and is preserved as a historic site called Liu'ao Old Walled Town (simplified Chinese: 六鳌古城; traditional Chinese: 六鰲古城; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: La̍k-gô Kó͘-siâⁿ).

Root crops, such as sweet potatoes, onions, and radishes are grown widely in its sandy soil.

[citation needed] In the 21st century, a large number of wind turbine towers have been erected on the peninsula's windy west coast.
