Fugui Cape Recreation Area Introduction
Fuguikou Recreation Area is located in the Shimen District, and within the park, it includes well-known geological attractions such as the Wind Lion Stone area, coastal trails, the Laomei Green Stone Trench, and sand dunes. It also features the park's landmark, the Fuguikou Lighthouse, which is an octagonal lighthouse with black and white alternating stripes, and is the northernmost lighthouse on Taiwan's main island. As you walk along the coastal trail, facing the wind, you can enjoy views of the Wind Lion Stone and the unique topography of Laomei Bay formed by the Shimen reef, along with sand dunes. You will also see the unique wind-sculpted "wind-cut trees" and beach vegetation that cling to the dunes. From April to May, visitors can admire Taiwan's native lilies along the way, which have linear-lanceolate leaves that grow alternately and flowers that bloom at the top. Each plant varies in size and quantity of flowers depending on the condition of the bulb, and the most distinctive feature is the six purple-red or reddish-brown stripes on the outer side of the petals. Additionally, you can enjoy the special Green Stone Trench scenery; between May and August, the blooming of the Tibetan daisies adds to the breathtaking mountain and sea landscape!
