Keelung Lighthouse, Maritime heritage monument in Taibai Village, Taiwan
The lighthouse features a cylindrical white tower with a black lantern dome, standing at a focal plane of 40 meters above Keelung harbor entrance.
The Japanese administration constructed the lighthouse in 1900 during their control of Taiwan, which followed the Chinese Empire's cession after the First Sino-Japanese War.
The structure represents a significant part of Taiwan's maritime heritage, demonstrating the evolution of coastal navigation systems through different historical periods.
The Maritime and Port Bureau maintains the lighthouse, which emits one short and one long white flash every seven seconds to guide vessels into the harbor.
The lighthouse received a concrete encasing renovation in 1962, transforming its original brick tower structure while maintaining its essential navigation functions.
