Hobe Fort or Huwei Fort () is located a short distance away from Fort Santo Domingo, near the town of Tamsui, Taipei on the island of Taiwan. In the 1880s Imperial China (Qing Dynasty) and France fought a war over today's Vietnam. In October 1884 in the Keelung Campaign, the French fleet sailed to northern Taiwan where it blockaded the ports of Keelung and Tamsui, and then landed troops at both places. The Chinese managed to turn back the assault at Tamsui, though Keelung fell to the French. Eventually the Chinese government signed a treaty granting the French extensive privileges.
