Fuguei Cape Introduction
Fugui Cape is the northernmost cape in Taiwan. The northeastern monsoon in winter creates the unique wind-eroded rock formations. In addition to appreciating the special geological landscape, travelers can stroll along the gentle coastal trail, enjoying coastal plants, wind-sculpted trees, and the winding reefs. At the observation deck, visitors can admire the stunning views of the prominent cape, and visit the uniquely octagonal Fugui Cape Lighthouse. In April and May, one can also see the seasonally limited native Taiwanese lilies and the unique Laomei Green Stone Trench! ▼ April and May each year is the perfect time to appreciate the Laomei Green Stone Trench. ▼ Besides enjoying the Laomei Green Stone Trench, don’t miss the blooming native Taiwanese lilies (Photo: Provided by the Agricultural Bureau of New Taipei City Government). In summer, capture the scenic beauty of the lighthouse at sunset. Located at the end of the cape, the Fugui Cape Lighthouse is Taiwan's northernmost lighthouse, completed in 1897. Its striking black and white exterior stands out. The original purpose of building the lighthouse was to facilitate the installation of a submarine cable between Taiwan and Japan. Over the past century, the Fugui Cape Lighthouse has stood faithfully at the cape, continuing to perform its duty. As summer approaches, seasonal attractions make their appearance. As the sun gradually sets, the twilight shines upon the lighthouse, creating a dreamy scene that many photography enthusiasts yearn to capture. When night falls, under a beautiful starry sky and a refreshing sea breeze, strolling beneath the starry sky is sure to make travelers feel like they got their money's worth. 【Lighthouse Opening Hours】 Daylight Saving Time: 04/01 to 10/31, 09:00-18:00 Standard Time: 11/01 to 03/31, 09:00-17:00 Appreciating the multi-angle wind-eroded rocks, which are created through wind and sand erosion, are only found in areas with strong winds, fine sand, and hard rock formations. The quantity of wind-eroded rocks in the Fugui Cape area is the highest in Taiwan. Generally, the most common ridge surface has four sides, but due to factors such as changing wind directions and the positioning of rocks, various rock appearances have been sculpted.
