Mudouyu Lighthouse
目斗嶼燈塔
A black-and-white cast-iron lighthouse on the northernmost islet of Penghu, often seen on the sightseeing cruises around Beihai (Jibei) that circle the island.
Mudouyu Lighthouse stands on Mudou Islet, the northernmost island of the Penghu archipelago. Built in 1902, its tower is a black-and-white striped cylindrical cast-iron structure about 40 meters tall, making it one of the tallest iron lighthouses in Taiwan. The island is uninhabited, and landing is generally not permitted. Most visitors view and photograph the lighthouse from the sea during the Beihai (Jibei) sightseeing cruise that circles the island. Boats run more often in summer, and in autumn and winter, rough seas often suspend sailings.
