White Lighthouse Introduction
The White Lighthouse is located on the southern side of Liuqiu Island, at the summit on the western side of the Hou Shi Skirt Reef. It is an international lighthouse and is also known as "White Light Tower." It was built in 1929, with a height from the base to the top of about 10 meters and an elevation from the sea level to the top of 88 meters. It is equipped with an automatic flashing device that operates day and night and serves as a navigation guide for fishing boats, similar to the Eluanbi Lighthouse in Kenting National Park. For enthusiasts who enjoy observing fireflies, this area is ideal for firefly watching from the spring equinox to the end of autumn each year. As night falls, the grass mounds on both sides of the lighthouse entrance are dotted with twinkling lights, showcasing the male and female Taiwan fireflies busy illuminating the quiet summer nights. Meanwhile, the Formosan rock lizard and the brown tree snake compete for space on the nearby banyan tree roots, sleeping boldly, their remarkable skills bringing a smile to onlookers.
