About Yeliou Lighthouse
Also known as: Yeliou (Yeh-Liu Pan-Tao)
This white, square concrete lighthouse stands 11 meters tall on a narrow peninsula about 12 kilometers northwest of Keelung, Taiwan. Completed in 1967, its structure is supported by four curving legs and is designed to resemble a candle stand. The light emits a single white flash every 10 seconds from a focal height of 99 meters. This post is situated approximately 4.4 kilometers from the nearest port. The lighthouse's geographic range extends to nearly 25 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of a very dangerous reef extending offshore from the peninsula, and its unusual design makes it a unique architectural feature.
