Kaohsiung Lighthouse (Cijin Qihou Lighthouse)

The Kaohsiung Lighthouse, formerly known as Cihou Lighthouse or Qihou Lighthouse, was built in 1883 by British engineers. Its co-construction with a fort is very rare in Taiwan. Its century-long history bears witness to the arduous pioneering development of Kaohsiung Port. The Ministry of the Interior designated it as a municipal historic site in 1987, and it has been open to the public since 1992.
