Cape Eluanbi Introduction
Fuguei Cape is the northernmost cape in Taiwan. The northeast monsoon in winter creates a unique landscape of wind-eroded stone formations. In addition to appreciating the distinctive geological scenery, travelers can stroll along the gentle coastal path, enjoying seaside plants, wind-sculpted trees, and the winding reefs. At the observation deck, one can overlook the magnificent views of the prominent cape, while also visiting the uniquely octagonal Fuguei Cape Lighthouse. In April and May, visitors can see the seasonally limited native Taiwanese lilies and the one-of-a-kind Laomei Green Reef! April and May each year are the perfect time to appreciate the Laomei Green Reef. Besides enjoying the Laomei Green Reef, don't miss the chance to observe the blooming native Taiwanese lilies (Image: provided by New Taipei City Government Agricultural Bureau). In summer, capture the beautiful landscape of the lighthouse at sunset. Located at the end of the cape, the Fuguei Cape Lighthouse is the northernmost lighthouse in Taiwan, completed in 1897. Its striking black and white exterior is eye-catching. The original purpose of building the lighthouse was to facilitate the installation of an undersea cable between Taiwan and Japan. For over a century, the Fuguei Cape Lighthouse has stood at the cape, faithfully performing its duty. As summer approaches, the seasonal beauty comes to life. When the sun begins to set, the evening glow lights up the lighthouse, creating a dreamlike scenery that many photographers wish to capture. As night falls, accompanied by a beautiful starry sky and a refreshing sea breeze, strolling under the starlit sky absolutely makes the trip worth it.
