Cilaibi Lighthouse, Concrete lighthouse in Hualien County, Taiwan

The Cilaibi Lighthouse stands 13 meters tall with a pentagonal prism structure, emitting white light flashes every six seconds across the Pacific Ocean.

The original structure from 1931 was replaced in 1963 following damage during World War II, marking a transition from Japanese colonial infrastructure to modern Taiwan.

The lighthouse name derives from Kiray, a term connected to the indigenous Sakiraya people who maintained a long presence in the Hualien region.

The lighthouse operates with a fourth order Fresnel lens producing 28,000 candela intensity, visible up to 16.6 nautical miles from the eastern Taiwan coast.

The structure includes a non-directional beacon pole added in 1973 and a radar beacon pole from 1985, enhancing its maritime navigation capabilities.
