In 2013, the State Council approved and announced the project of incorporating the seventh batch of major national historical and cultural protection sites (a total of 1943) into the existing National key cultural relics protection units (a total of 47), and three sites of our city such as Qilu Fort Battery, Wenguang Tower and the Exhibition Hall ofEastern Expedition Army Revolutionary Historical Sitewere selected into the project, fulfilling the "zero breakthrough" in being selected into the National key cultural relics protection.
Qilu Fort Battery, commonly known as Stone Fort Battery, is a fort which has been well preserved and has the largest independent structure area, and has become Shantou Stone Fort Park since 1991 after comprehensive renovation. Wenguang Tower was first built in the first year of Song Shaoxing (1131), has a tower as high as 42 meters and an octagonal plane, and is a pavilion style pagoda with seven-storey. The Exhibition Hall ofEastern Expedition Army Revolutionary Historical Sitewas first built in 1924, integrates commemoration and education into one, and is the best preserved red ruin in our city.

汕头三处文保单位跻身“国保”
国务院2013年核定公布了第七批全国重点文物保护单位(共计1943处)以及与现有全国重点文物保护单位合并的项目(共计47处)，我市崎碌炮台、文光塔、东征军革命史迹陈列馆等三处入选，实现文物“国保”“零突破”。
崎碌炮台俗称石炮台，是我国目前保存较为完好、独立体面积最大的炮台,1991年进行全面修缮后辟为汕头市石炮台公园。文光塔初建于宋绍兴元年(1131年),塔高42米，平面八角形，是七层楼阁式石塔。东征军革命史迹陈列馆始建于1924年，融纪念性、教育性于一体，是我市保存最为完好的一处红色遗址。
