Liuqiuyu Lighthouse stands on high ground in the south of Xiaoliuqiu. Built and put into service in 1929 during the Japanese occupation period, its white cylindrical tower stands out among the green trees and serves as a navigation mark for ships in the southern Taiwan Strait. The lighthouse park is normally open to visitors according to announcements by the Maritime and Port Bureau, and beside the tower you can look out over the southern sea and the Houshi Skirt Reef. Admission is free, but open days and hours follow the Maritime and Port Bureau's announcements. When it is closed, you can take photos from the outside. It is about 1 km from Houshi Skirt Reef, so the two are good to visit together.
