Highlights

  • A classic lighthouse moment with coastal scenery
  • Easy add-on to a Bitou Cape trail day
  • Great ‘nature contrast’ to Taipei’s city days

Why go

This is a simple add-on that improves a north-coast day: lighthouse atmosphere, sea air, and a sense of ‘edge of the island’ perspective. It doesn’t need a big plan—just good timing and good weather.

How to pair it

Treat the lighthouse as your short scenic stop, then make the day about one bigger anchor (coastal trail, geopark, or a food mission).

  • Lighthouse + Bitou Cape trail
  • Lighthouse + Keelung night market dinner
