About Taichung Main Harbor Lighthouses Lighthouse
This red, cylindrical concrete tower stands 20 meters tall at the end of Taichung Main Harbor's south breakwater. Its lantern and gallery are painted red, matching the tower's distinctive color. With a focal height of 21 meters, it emits a red flash every 2 seconds, visible for 13.4 nautical miles. Located 0.4 kilometers from the nearest port, this lighthouse serves as a navigational aid within Taichung harbor. The structure is operational but not open to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for the safe passage of ships entering and exiting Taichung Harbor, one of Taiwan's busiest ports. Its red flash specifically delineates the end of the south breakwater, preventing collisions and guiding maritime traffic through the harbor's approach channels.
