Due to damage during World War II, in 1962 it was rebuilt as an octagonal concrete tower. The lighthouse has a charming black and white striped exterior and is one of Taiwan's four extreme points, being the northernmost lighthouse on Taiwan island. Cape Fugui Lighthouse was the first lighthouse built by the Japanese in Taiwan, established to facilitate the construction of submarine cables and navigational aids between Taiwan and Japan. Due to its unique geographical environment and climate, dense fog is common in autumn and winter, hence a "foghorn" was installed inside the tower, marking the first navigational aid of its kind in Taiwan. Furthermore, Cape Fugui Lighthouse is a famous landmark for capturing the "sun-set spectacle." As the sun slowly descends, the fiery sunset aligns perfectly with the center of the lighthouse, illuminating the sky with orange-yellow light, creating a rare, limited-time "Lighthouse Sunset" phenomenon. When visiting Cape Fugui Lighthouse, it is recommended to also explore nearby popular attractions such as the Laomei Green Stone Trough, Fugui Fishing Harbor, and Cape Fugui Lighthouse. With the construction and connection of walking trails, visitors can enjoy the unique coastal scenery while also experiencing its long history and profound historical significance up close.
