Eluanbi Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on Cape Eluanbi, the southernmost point of Taiwan, which separates Taiwan’s South Bay from Banana Bay and the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea from the Philippine Sea. It is near Eluan Village in the township of Hengchun in Pingtung County, Taiwan. The lighthouse is open to the public all year around.
The lighthouse is named after nearby Cape Eluanbi, the southernmost point on Formosa or Taiwan Island. The name also appears as Eluan and Eluan Pi; as Oluenpi and O-luan Pi from its Wade-Giles romanization; and as Garanbi or Garambi from its Japanese pronunciation.
Eluanbi Lighthouse is also known as “The Light of East Asia” because its light is the most intense of those on Taiwan.
