Fong-Yuan lighthouse was established in 1983, located at Wang-Kung port, Fong-Yuan Township, Changhua County. It is an octagonal tower with black and white vertical bands. Not only is the latest built lighthouse, but also the only tower height is higher than the lens height due to the land subsidence. This place was used to be famous for the one of eight scenic views in Changhua – Wang-Kung Fishermen’s Lights.
