Introduction

The Eluanbi Park is located in southern Taiwan, with underwater reefs and limestone formations, thus it has various coral reefs and rugged topography. There are many trails in the park, and visitors can access scenic areas such as Handy Rock, Canghai Pavilion, Youyi Village, Yougu, and Yingbin Pavilion. The entire area is like a maze with countless landscapes that dazzle the eyes. The lighthouse is one of the most famous landmarks of the Eluanbi Park, also one of Taiwan's eight scenic spots. This white iron tower, 18 meters high, 110 meters in circumference, and with a built-in fortress, is undoubtedly the only armed lighthouse in the world, equipped with gun holes and trenches. The lighthouse has five floors, and specific positions are reserved for storing kerosene, Green Cannon, Banyan Cannon, and light source. The lighthouse was bombed at the end of World War II but later rebuilt with a new large-sized fourth-order revolving lens electric light, becoming the most powerful lighthouse in Taiwan and known as the "Light of East Asia." In addition, there is a giant statue and a "Taiwan's Eight Scenic Spots" commemorative stone tablet next to the lighthouse for visitors to view and take photos.
