History of Lighthouse
In 1867, on the way from Shantou to Niuzhuang, the American merchant ship Luo Mei lost its direction in a storm and drifted to Qixingyan and hit a reef and sank. , others were captured and killed by the aborigines in Sheding, known as the Luofa incident. In addition, in 1871, the Ryukyu people were also killed in the area of Nanjiao, known as the Bayao Bay Incident, which also triggered the Peony Club Incident of the Japanese army attacking Taiwan in 1874. The U.S. and Japanese governments therefore requested the Qing Dynasty to set up a lighthouse here.
Surroundings
The surrounding scenery is the terrain of coral reefs. You can see some hot coastal plants and coral reef plants nearby. If you look into the distance, you can also go to the magnificent Dajianshi Mountain. Personally, I think the sun is very dazzling that day. It is recommended to bring sunscreen. items. In fact, if you want to see the sea at night or blow the sea breeze, it is highly recommended to take a night tour here, but because the neighborhood is very dark, it is recommended to bring lighting equipment.
