Lyudao Lighthouse

The white concrete lighthouse rises 33.3 meters above Bitou Cape, with its black roof standing against the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The lighthouse was built in 1939 following the SS President Hoover shipwreck, with funding from the American Red Cross as gratitude for local rescue efforts.

The structure represents a fusion of Japanese engineering and Taiwanese maritime heritage, serving as a central element of Green Island's coastal identity.

Visitors can climb 150 steps to reach the observation platform, which offers views extending to Taitung City and the Chenggong coastal area.

The lighthouse beam reaches 25.7 nautical miles across the ocean, functioning as a vital navigation aid visible from mainland Taiwan.
