Perched gracefully on the southern tip of Taiwan, the Eluanbi Lighthouse stands as a beacon of history and nautical splendor. This iconic black-and-white striped sentinel is uniquely fortified with walls to protect against pirate attacks, earning it the nickname "The Light of East Asia." Completed in 1883 during the Qing Dynasty, it remains one of the few armed lighthouses in the world. Surrounded by lush national park scenery, the structure offers brilliant views of where the Pacific Ocean meets the Bashi Channel. Whether appearing sun-drenched by day or dramatically lit by night, it’s a striking testament to maritime heritage.
