Fugui Cape

Fugui Cape is located at the northernmost tip of Taiwan. It is a headland where the mountains are lush green and the sea is azure blue, creating a spectacular view. Due to the prevailing northeast monsoon, aeolianite (wind-sculpted rocks) are very well developed here. Fugui Cape Lighthouse is situated at the very end of the cape, marking Taiwan's northernmost point along its coastline. Its octagonal shape and black and white stripes make it particularly striking, guiding ships along the winding, reef-strewn northern coast. Aeolianite, formed by the abrasive action of wind and sand, are only found in areas with strong winds, fine sand, and hard rock formations. The Fugui Cape area boasts the largest number of aeolianite in Taiwan. Most typically, these rocks have four facets, but due to factors such as changes in wind direction and alterations in rock position, they exhibit a variety of different appearances. Fugui Cape Park: Originally named Laomei Park, it is located within Laomei Bay, which is formed by Fugui Cape and the Shimen reef coast. Therefore, visitors here can simultaneously observe three types of coastal landforms—aeolianite, sand dunes, and reef coasts—as well as coastal plants.
