Kaohsiung Lighthouse (Cijin Qihou Lighthouse) Introduction
Kaohsiung Lighthouse, formerly known as Cihou Lighthouse, was built in 1883 by a British engineer. It is rare in Taiwan to have a lighthouse constructed together with a fort. With a history of over a century, it witnesses the development of Kaohsiung Port. The Ministry of the Interior designated it as a city monument in 1987, and it has been open to the public since 1992.
