Pillbox of No. 7 Bridge, Caobao Road

The No. 7 Caobao Road Bridge Blockhouse is a historical site located on the north side of the eastern embankment of the No. 7 Caobao Road Bridge (also known as the Puhuitang Bridge) in Qibao Town, Minhang District, Shanghai. The fortress remains are now situated within Minhang Cultural Park and are significant as they are listed as protected cultural relics by both Minhang District and Shanghai Municipal authorities. Additionally, they are designated as a Minhang District Patriotism Education Base. The People's Government of Qibao Town has erected a monument to honor revolutionary martyrs and a commemorative sculpture to pay tribute to the 37 soldiers of the fourth battalion of the 81st Division of the Third Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, who lost their lives during the three-day battle to liberate Shanghai. Adjacent to the blockhouse, there stands a statue of a PLA soldier. Previously, a small building, covering an area of around 100 square meters, was open to the public free of charge within Minhang Cultural Park. This building served as a memorial hall to educate the public about the history of the battle to liberate Shanghai. However, it appears that this building has since been demolished.
