Built in 1939, located at the top of south Chimei Yu, Penghu County, also called Nanhu Lighthouse, is the
last lighthouse built by Japanese. It is a concrete tower, and in earlier years it used acetylene for power and changed to electricity in 1964. The south tip of Chimei Yu is the meeting point of warm currents, so the lighthouse is not only for navigation safety, but also for the fishery resources.
