总台山，坐落于北仑郭巨的乡下，山势并不起眼。可是说起来，它颇有点历史。地处浙东沿海的北仑区域，历史上曾经是倭患最重之处，据史料记载，元、明两朝长达276年间，倭寇从北仑海岸登陆，入侵骚扰达数百次之多。郭巨作为浙东大陆的东端，无疑成为倭寇经常骚扰的地方。为避倭患，明初朝廷即规划构筑郭巨城，在郭巨设立了千户所，后于洪武二十年（1387），又在城后的三塔山，后称郭巨总台山的山顶处建烽火台，以及士兵守护烽火台住所的石屋。
Zongtai Hill, located in the east of Chuanshan and facing Zhujiajian of Zhoushan archipelago across the sea, is 309.2 meters in height over the sea level. From its top, the view is broad, covering many critical sites such as the Beilun dock, the Meishan harbor, the Luotou watercourse, and so on. In the history, Zongtai was a vital military fortification in the easten Zhejiang, particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.According to Zhen Hai Xian Zhi written in the time of the Republic of China, the beacon tower of Zongtai was stationed with garrisons who took smoke and fire day and night, respectively, as military signals to inform the troops and civilians around. Because of its importance to the local security, the hill was given the name of Zongtai, which means it is central to the local military fortifications.
