Lighthouse and coastal clefts
Dongyong Lighthouse (東湧燈塔), also called Dongyin Lighthouse (東引燈塔), dates to the Guangxu reign of the Qing dynasty (清光緒). It stands on a headland in the Shiwei Mountain area (世尾山區). Lienü Yikeng (烈女義坑) has steep gorge walls and a viewing platform overlooking coastal erosion features. At Yixiantian (一線天), a narrow rock cleft produces a strong contrast between the dark walls and the light above.
Andong Tunnel
Andong Tunnel (安東坑道) was excavated through granite for military use. About 300 metres long, it has eight openings and a steep interior approach with more than 400 steps. Sleeping quarters, an ammunition store, toilets and artillery remain from the period when troops lived and worked underground.
