Eluanbi Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Hengchun Township, Taiwan.

The 21-meter white lighthouse marks the southern tip of Taiwan, where the Taiwan Strait meets the Pacific Ocean waters.

Built in 1882, this lighthouse served as a critical navigation point for ships traversing between the Taiwan Strait and Pacific Ocean routes.

The lighthouse houses a maritime museum displaying navigation instruments and documenting the development of Taiwan's maritime activities through centuries.

Visitors reach the lighthouse through Provincial Highway 26 or by taking bus routes 8249 and 9188 from Hengchun Transfer Station.

The structure includes fortified walls and defensive features from its original construction, making it the only armed lighthouse in Taiwan.
