日月潭燈杆

The white lighthouse stands at 16.5 meters tall on the shores of Sun Moon Lake, featuring a cylindrical tower with a balcony and black lantern dome.

Built during Taiwan's Japanese colonial period, this navigation structure reflects the architectural elements and maritime safety requirements of the early 20th century.

The lighthouse has integrated into local traditions, becoming a central element during festivals and celebrations that take place around Sun Moon Lake throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse through regular bus services from Taipei Main Station, with the site remaining open daily from sunrise to sunset.

The structure employs a second-order clamshell Fresnel lens that projects white light visible up to 24 nautical miles and red light visible up to 20 miles.
