Mudouyu Lighthouse, Maritime beacon on Mudou Island, Penghu County, Taiwan.
The lighthouse structure rises 39.9 meters with black and white stripes and features a double balcony design with a powerful lantern at its summit.
Built in 1902 during Japanese administration, this lighthouse marked the beginning of modern maritime navigation infrastructure development in Taiwan's waters.
The name Mudouyu originates from Chinese language references to either an eye shape or a carpenter's ink marker, reflecting local geographical interpretations.
Three generators supply power to maintain continuous operation, while an integrated rainwater collection system ensures water availability on this remote island.
The structure holds records as both Taiwan's highest lighthouse and the Far East's tallest cast iron lighthouse, positioned among dangerous coral reefs.
