Liuhe Military Review Platform

The military review platform, also known as the marshal review platform, is located by the river embankment on the south side of Liukou Estuary in Taicang City. According to legend, it was built in 1130 during the fourth year of Jianyan in the Song Dynasty when Han Shizhong, a famous general against the Jin Dynasty, was stationed at the estuary. Liujia Port, where the military review platform is located, is the east gate of Taicang. It has a very important geographical location and has always been a place contested by military strategists. In the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates often landed and invaded from here. The local soldiers and civilians fought bravely with the Japanese pirates many times, leaving many inspiring anti-Japanese pirate deeds. Nowadays, when climbing up the military review platform and looking into the distance by the river, the view is extremely beautiful. The specific business hours and opening status are subject to the opening situation on that day.
