Fugui Cape Introduction
Fuguijiao is the northernmost cape of Taiwan, where the northeastern monsoon in winter has created the unique wind-eroded pillar limestone landscape. In addition to appreciating this special geological feature, travelers can stroll along the gentle coastal path, enjoying coastal vegetation, wind-sculpted trees, and dramatic rocky shorelines. At the observation deck, one can gaze at the stunning views of the protruding cape and visit the distinctly designed octagonal Fuguijiao Lighthouse. In April and May, seasonal native Taiwanese lilies and the unique Laomei Green Shale can also be seen! ▼April and May each year is an excellent time to admire the Laomei Shale ▼In addition to enjoying the Laomei Shale, don't miss the blooming native Taiwanese lilies (Image provided by the Agricultural Bureau of New Taipei City). In summer, capture the beautiful scene of the sunset at the lighthouse. The Fuguijiao Lighthouse, located at the tip of the cape, is the northernmost lighthouse in Taiwan, completed in 1897, featuring a striking black and white exterior. The original purpose of building the lighthouse was to facilitate the installation of the submarine cable between Taiwan and Japan. For over a century, the Fuguijiao Lighthouse has stood on the cape, still quietly and faithfully performing its duties. As summer arrives, seasonal stunning views come to life. As the sun gradually sets, the twilight will reflect on the lighthouse, creating a dreamy scene that many photography enthusiasts wish to capture. At nightfall, accompanied by a beautiful starry sky and a refreshing sea breeze, walking under the stars will definitely give travelers their money's worth.

The quantity of wind-eroded pillars around Fuguijiao is the highest in all of Taiwan. Generally, these pillars have the most facets at four faces, but due to factors such as changes in wind direction and rock positions, various rock appearances have been shaped.
