Cape Fugui Introduction
Fugueijiao, the northernmost cape of Taiwan, features a unique wind-eroded rock formation created by the northeast monsoon during winter. In addition to appreciating the distinctive geological landscape, travelers can stroll along the gentle coastal path to admire coastal plants, wind-sculpted "wind-cut trees," and winding reefs. At the observation platform, visitors can gaze upon the stunning views of the prominent cape and visit the uniquely octagonal Fugueijiao Lighthouse. In April and May, one can also witness the seasonal native Taiwanese lilies and the one-of-a-kind Laomei Green Reef! ▼ April and May are the best times to enjoy the Laomei Green Reef. ▼ Besides admiring the Laomei Green Reef, don't miss the blooming native Taiwanese lilies (Image provided by New Taipei City's Agricultural Bureau). In summer, capture the beautiful scenery of the lighthouse with the sun setting behind it. Located at the tip of the cape, Fugueijiao Lighthouse is Taiwan's northernmost lighthouse, completed in 1897. Its striking black and white exterior is quite eye-catching. The original purpose of the lighthouse was to aid in the installation of the undersea cable between Taiwan and Japan. For over a century, Fugueijiao Lighthouse has stood on the cape, faithfully fulfilling its mission. As summer arrives, seasonal beauty makes its appearance. When the sun gradually descends, its rays cast a warm glow on the lighthouse, creating a dreamy scene that many photographers seek to capture. As the night falls, accompanied by a beautiful starry sky and a cool sea breeze, walking under a sky full of stars is truly worth the experience. 【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. Enjoy the multiple angles of the wind-eroded rocks. Wind-eroded rocks, formed by strong winds and fine sand in areas with hard rocks, are most prevalent in the Fugueijiao area, holding the highest quantity in all of Taiwan. Generally, the ridges are most often observed to have four sides, but due to factors such as wind direction changes and rock positioning, various unique rock appearances are created.
