Dongquan Lighthouse, Maritime landmark in Fuzheng Village, Taiwan.
The white cylindrical tower rises 19.5 meters high on the northeast coast of Dongju Island with a black lantern dome at its summit.
Built in 1872 by the British Empire following the Treaty of Nanjing, this structure guided ships navigating toward the port of Fuzhou.
The lighthouse maintains its status as a Class Two National Historical Site, representing Taiwan's maritime navigation development in the late 19th century.
The lighthouse uses a second-order Fresnel lens that projects light visible up to 16.7 nautical miles, operating continuously through mains electricity.
A 30-meter white wall connects the lighthouse to its exhibition hall, originally designed to protect the keeper's kerosene lamp from strong winds.
