Yuwengdao Lighthouse
漁翁島燈塔
A century-old white lighthouse on the western tip of Xiyu, overlooking the Taiwan Strait. A great place to watch the sunset and take in the wide sea view.
Yuwengdao Lighthouse, also known as Xiyu Lighthouse, is located in Waian Village at the westernmost point of Xiyu Township. Its predecessor was a stone tower from the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty. The existing white cast-iron tower was built in 1875 and is one of the oldest surviving lighthouses in Taiwan, designated by Taiwan as a historic site. The lighthouse stands on a sea cliff surrounded by open grassland and the Taiwan Strait, and in the evening it is one of the best places on Penghu's main island to watch the sunset. Opening hours are limited (check on site). It is about 2 km from Xiyu West Fort.
