Baishajia Lighthouse, Maritime navigational landmark in Guanyin District, Taiwan.

The cylindrical brick lighthouse rises 27.7 meters above the coast, featuring a white exterior with a black lantern dome and an observation balcony.

Built in 1902 during Japanese rule, the structure underwent reconstruction after World War II damages reduced its original height from 38 to 27.7 meters.

The lighthouse represents Taiwan's maritime legacy as the third navigation tower constructed during the period of Japanese administration from 1895 to 1945.

The structure maintains its original third-order Fresnel lens, projecting alternating white and red light visible up to 25.7 nautical miles every 10 seconds.

Visitors can examine the advanced optical system and mechanical components that have guided ships through Taiwan's coastal waters for over 120 years.

Inception: 1902

GPS coordinates: 25.04083,121.07639
