Pengjia Lighthouse, Navigation lighthouse in Zhongzheng District, Taiwan.

The white cylindrical tower of Pengjia Lighthouse rises 28.6 meters from a hexagonal base, featuring a black lantern dome at its summit.

The lighthouse began operations in September 1909 after three years of construction, providing essential navigation guidance for ships in the East China Sea.

The Maritime and Port Bureau maintains this county-level monument, which stands as a testament to Taiwan's naval engineering achievements.

Five staff members operate the lighthouse, maintaining its 864,000 candela beam that reaches vessels up to 25.3 nautical miles from the coast.

The lighthouse emits a specific white flash pattern every 15 seconds, creating a distinct signal pattern for maritime navigation in northern Taiwan.
