About Sanshiantai Lighthouse
Also known as: Sanshiantai (San-hsien-t'ai)
This white, cylindrical concrete tower stands 30.5 meters tall and has a focal height of 61 meters, visible for 20.2 nautical miles. It emits a single white flash every 6 seconds. The structure includes a lantern and a double gallery, attached to a one-story keeper's cottage. The lighthouse is situated on a rocky point northwest of Chenggong, Taiwan, in the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can access the site, though the tower itself remains closed to the public.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks Sanshiantai, a hazardous rocky point along Taiwan's eastern coast, guiding vessels navigating the Pacific Ocean.
