A historic lighthouse built in 1927, originally with the name Beijiao Lighthouse (北角燈塔), standing only 7.9 meters tall. It was incorporated into an ROC naval base in 1974 and is no longer readily accessible to the public. Guided tours might be available on special occasions but it’s likely you’d need to be a citizen of the ROC to attend.

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.
