Fuguei Cape Recreation Area Introduction
Fugui Cape Recreation Area is located in Shimen District. The park includes well-known geological attractions such as the Fenglin Stone Scenic Area, the Coastal Trail, the Laomei Green Stone Trench, and sand dunes. It also features the park's landmark - Fugui Cape Lighthouse, which is an octagonal lighthouse with alternating black and white stripes, and the northernmost lighthouse on Taiwan's main island. Walking along the coastal trail against the wind, visitors can not only admire the Fenglin Stones but also see the Laomei Bay terrain and sand dunes formed by the Shimen reef, as well as the wind-shaped "wind-cut trees" and beach plants that cling to the dunes. From April to May, visitors can appreciate the native Taiwanese lilies along the way, which have lanceolate leaves that alternate and bloom at the top. The size and number of flowers vary for each plant, depending on the condition of the bulb. The most notable feature is the six purple-red or reddish-brown stripes on the outer side of the petals. Additionally, unique green stone trench landscapes can be enjoyed; between May and August, one can also see blooming Tienren flowers. Such breathtaking mountain and sea scenery will surely leave you in awe!
