Built in 1956 on the strategic Fire Mountain (火號山) above the harbour, this was the first lighthouse designed and constructed entirely by the Republic of China. During its years inside a military zone the square concrete tower was painted in defensive green, then restored to its original white when the Maritime and Port Authority refurbished it in 2018. It was taken out of service in 1991. In the 2020s the surrounding base was converted into a hiking trail and it is now readily visited from the nearby Keelung Lighthouse.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
