Fu-kuei Chiao Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower at Cape Fugui, Taiwan

The 14.3-meter octagonal concrete lighthouse displays black and white markings and stands at the northernmost point of the Taiwanese coastline.

The initial structure was constructed in 1896 by Japanese authorities and functioned as a terminal point for undersea communication cables connecting to Japan.

The lighthouse provides an annual open house event during Tax Day when Taiwan Customs welcomes visitors to explore the maritime infrastructure.

The grounds remain accessible to visitors while the tower stays closed due to its location near a radar station of military importance.

The lighthouse features an automated foghorn system that produces one three-second sound signal every thirty seconds during low visibility conditions.
