Illustrated Postcard - Light of the Coast 2 | Taiwan Lighthouses & Geological Ecology |

Taiwan, an island nation, has a long history where many have depended on the sea for their livelihood, from agriculture to forestry, fishing, and herding. The ocean, unpredictable and ever-changing with the climate, seasons, and weather, can evoke a sense of unease, especially under the cloak of night. Lighthouses stand as silent sentinels along the coast, their beams illuminating the darkness to ensure safety and guide people home. By day, they are also popular tourist destinations, showcasing unique coastal ecosystems and geological formations, often drawing crowds on weekends with nearby attractions. It's clear that Taiwanese people share a deep connection with both the mountains and the sea, and their relationship with lighthouses is intrinsically linked.
