Keelung Lighthouse, Maritime heritage monument in Taibai Village, Taiwan
Keelung Lighthouse is a stone tower with white walls and a black lantern dome positioned at the harbor entrance. The structure rises 40 meters above water level and sends out regular light signals toward the sea.
The lighthouse was built in 1900 by Japanese administration after Taiwan came under Japanese control. It stands among the coastal structures that emerged during this period.
The lighthouse is a familiar landmark for fishermen and sailors who use Keelung harbor. It connects the location to generations of seafarers and shapes daily life around the port.
The lighthouse is monitored by port authorities and remains in active operation on the peninsula near the harbor. Visitors can best view it from the shoreline, where there is a clear view of the tower and surrounding waters.
The structure received a concrete casing in 1962 that covered the original brick build underneath. This renovation preserved its navigation function while significantly altering the tower's appearance.
