Fuguei Cape Recreation Area Introduction
Fugui Cape Recreation Area is located in Shimen District. The park includes the famous Yehliu Geopark, coastal trails, Laomei Green Reef, and unique geological landscapes such as sand dunes. Among these, the landmark of the park is the Fugui Cape Lighthouse, an octagonal lighthouse with black and white stripes, which is also the northernmost lighthouse on Taiwan Island. Walking along the coastal trail against the wind, visitors can not only admire the Yehliu Geopark but also see the unique landforms of Laomei Bay and sand dunes formed by the Shimen reef coast, as well as the wind-sculpted wind-cut trees and beach vegetation that cling to the dunes. From April to May, visitors can enjoy the native lilies of Taiwan along the way, characterized by their linear lanceolate leaves that are arranged alternately and flowers blooming at the top. The size and number of flowers vary with each bulb's condition, and the most notable feature is the six purple-red or reddish-brown stripes on the outer side of the petals. Additionally, the unique green reef landscape can be admired. From May to August, the blooming of Coreopsis tinctoria adds to the stunning mountain and sea scenery, which will surely leave you in awe!
