Cape Fugui Introduction
Fugueijiao is the northernmost cape in Taiwan. The northeast monsoon unique to winter has created a wind-eroded stone landscape. In addition to appreciating the unique geological scenery, travelers can stroll along the gentle coastal pathway, enjoying coastal plants, wind-shaped trees, and the winding reef shore along the way. At the observation deck, visitors can admire the stunning views of the protruding cape, and visit the uniquely octagonal Fugueijiao Lighthouse. In April and May, one can also see the seasonally limited native Taiwanese lilies and the one-of-a-kind Laomei Green Rock Reef! ▼April and May each year is an excellent time to appreciate the Laomei Rock Reef. ▼In addition to enjoying the Laomei Rock Reef, don’t miss the blooming native Taiwanese lilies (Image: Provided by the New Taipei City Government Agricultural Bureau). In summer, capture the beautiful scenery of the lighthouse at sunset. The Fugueijiao Lighthouse, located at the tip of the cape, is the northernmost lighthouse in Taiwan, completed in 1897. Its striking black and white exterior stands out, and the original purpose of constructing the lighthouse was to facilitate the laying of the undersea cable between Taiwan and Japan. For over a century, the Fugueijiao Lighthouse has stood on the cape, still quietly and faithfully performing its duties. As summer arrives, the seasonally limited beautiful scenery makes its appearance. When the sun gradually sets, the afterglow of the sunset illuminates the lighthouse, creating a dreamlike scene that many photographers wish to capture. When night falls, with beautiful starry skies and the cool sea breeze, walking under the starry sky is sure to make the journey worthwhile. 【Lighthouse Opening Hours】 Daylight Saving Time: April 1 to October 31, 09:00-18:00 Standard Time: November 1 to March 31, 09:00-17:00 Appreciate the wind-eroded stones from multiple angles. The wind-eroded stones, which are found only in areas with strong winds, fine sand, and hard rock, are most abundant in the Fugueijiao area, holding the title of the largest quantity in all of Taiwan. Generally, the typical faces of the stones feature four surfaces, but due to changes in wind direction and the position of the rocks, various different rock appearances have been shaped.
