Cape Fuco Introduction

Cape Fuguei is the northernmost cape in Taiwan. The northeast monsoon in winter has created a unique wind-eroded stone landscape. In addition to appreciating the special geological formations, travelers can walk along the gentle coastal trail, enjoying coastal plants, wind-sculpted trees, and meandering reefs. At the observation deck, visitors can admire the beautiful views of the most prominent cape and visit the uniquely octagonal Fuguei Cape Lighthouse. In April and May, one can also see the seasonally blooming native Taiwan lilies and the unique Laomei Green Reef! ▼ April and May are the best times to admire the Laomei Green Reef ▼ In addition to enjoying the Laomei Green Reef, don't miss the chance to see the blooming native Taiwan lilies (Image provided by the New Taipei City Agricultural Bureau). In summer, visitors can capture the stunning scenery of the sun setting behind the lighthouse. Located at the tip of the cape, the Fuguei Cape Lighthouse is the northernmost lighthouse in Taiwan, completed in 1897. Its striking black and white appearance is eye-catching. The original purpose of building the lighthouse was to facilitate the installation of the undersea cable between Taiwan and Japan. For over a century, the Fuguei Cape Lighthouse has stood on the cape, quietly and faithfully performing its task. As summer arrives, seasonal beauties emerge. When the sun gradually sets, the twilight reflects off the lighthouse, creating a dreamy scene that many photographers wish to capture. At night, with the beautiful starry sky and the refreshing sea breeze, strolling under the starlit sky is absolutely worth the visit. 【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 Admire the multi-angled wind-eroded stones. These stones, formed by wind and sand erosion, are only found in regions with strong winds, fine sand, and hard rocks. The wind-eroded stones around Fuguei Cape are the most abundant in Taiwan. Generally, the facets may be up to four sides, but due to changes in wind direction and the positioning of the rocks, a variety of different stone appearances have been shaped.
