Facing towards the [[Luzon Strait]], it is the southernmost tip of Taiwan.

Accidents in the area were quite often due to hidden reefs (see [[Kenting National Park]]). In year 1888, an English architect was hired to construct this lighthouse as a guide for nearby ships. The lighthouse is the only armed lighthouse in the world, due to frequent raids by local aboriginal tribes. The lighthouse has a trench around it and many gun holes on the wall.<br /> <br /> After a concession by the Qing Empire when it lost the [[First Sino-Japanese War]], Taiwan became a colony of [[Empire of Japan|Japan]]. The lighthouse was repaired in year 1910 by the Japanese after severe damage due to bombings. The lighthouse, although still functional, is now held as a historical monument admired by many tourists in the Kenting National Park.<br /> <br /> [[zh:鵝鑾鼻]]<br /> [[ja:鵞鑾鼻]]<br /> [[Category:Geography of Taiwan]]</div>
