White Lighthouse Introduction
The White Lighthouse is located on the southern side of Liuqiu Island, at the summit of the western side of the Hou Shi Skirt Reef. It is an international lighthouse also known as "White Lantern Tower." Constructed in 1929, it has a height of about 10 meters from the base to the top of the tower, and 88 meters from the water level to the top. It is equipped with automatic flashing equipment that operates day and night, serving as a navigational guide for fishing boats, similar to the Eluanbi Lighthouse in Kenting National Park. The area is very suitable for firefly observation from the spring equinox to the end of autumn, attracting enthusiasts. As night falls, countless fireflies light up the grassy patches along the entrance of the lighthouse, creating a starry scene. The male and female Taiwanese fireflies busy twinkling in the night bring life to the quiet midsummer. Meanwhile, the Formosan rock monkey and the brown tree snake cling to the nearby banyan tree roots, unconcerned as they peacefully sleep, showcasing their impressive skills that bring a smile to onlookers.
