Dongyong Lighthouse

The white cylindrical tower rises 14.3 meters high on the eastern side of Dongyin Island, featuring a black lantern dome and exterior balcony.

British engineers completed the construction in 1904 after the Qing Dynasty opened a port in the region during the late nineteenth century.

The structure earned the status of third-grade national historic site in 1988, reflecting the maritime navigation development of Taiwan's eastern waters.

Two fog water cannons positioned on the cliff below the lighthouse assist maritime navigation during limited visibility conditions in the Taiwan Strait.

The lighthouse produces three light flashes every 20 seconds from its position at 978 meters above sea level, guiding vessels through the strait.
