The Fugui Cape Lighthouse is a must-see landmark in the north shore. Built in Japanese colonial times for facilitating establishment of submarine communication cables, the lighthouse is known for its special exterior and over 100 years of history. Its interlaced black and white colors and octagon structure make for an eye-catching appearance. Its deed of guiding ships throughout the past hundred years is also long remembered by navigators.
The abundant ventifacts scattered around the area are another attraction here in Fugui Cape. 8 hundred thousand years ago, large amount of andesite rocks formed from Datun Mountain"s lava were carried to this place. During winter, strong northeast seasonal winds carrying sand will cut these rocks and turn them into ventifacts with irregular sharp edges. Because of the presence of ventifacts, sand hills and green reefs, Fugui Cape is very special when compared with other seacoasts in Taiwan.
