Cape Fugui, Northernmost cape in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Cape Fugui is the northernmost cape in New Taipei City, extending into the Taiwan Strait with rocky shorelines and subtropical vegetation. The landscape combines coastal rock formations with lush plants that line the approach to the water.
In 1896, the Japanese administration built a submarine cable facility at the cape, which remained in operation until its destruction during World War II. This project was part of early infrastructure development in the region under Japanese rule.
The Cape hosts an annual Dragon Festival in September and October, drawing visitors to celebrate with kite flying and local artistic performances.
The cape is accessible via Provincial Highway 2, with public buses connecting from Taipei Station through Shimen District. A visit is possible year-round, with pathways to viewpoints being easy to walk.
An octagonal black and white striped lighthouse was built in 1962 and serves both as a navigation aid and an air force radar station. This dual function makes it an unusual example of a coastal landmark.
