Yehliu Lighthouse Introduction

The Yehliu Lighthouse was established in 1967, with a height of 11.3 meters. It is located at the highest point of Guishan Mountain in the third area of Yehliu Geopark, accessible via a fork in the main trail leading to the lighthouse. Designed in the shape of a candlestick, it is modeled after the famous candle rock of Yehliu. The lighthouse was built between the radii of the light from Cape Fuguei Lighthouse and Keelung Lighthouse to enhance navigation functions for Keelung Port. Since the Qing Dynasty, the hazardous rocks and reefs around Yehliu have frequently caused shipwrecks, but the situation improved after the lighthouse was established. From the lighthouse, one can gaze out at the blue Pacific Ocean, with the elongated landmass extending into the sea in the distance being Cape Jinshan. Next to the lighthouse is a radio tower set up for fishing communication needs, which, being over 20 meters tall and painted red and white, is often mistaken for the Yehliu Lighthouse.
