Illustrated Postcard - Light of the Coast 1 | 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 stir unease, especially in the darkness of night. Lighthouses stand sentinel along Taiwan's shores, their lights illuminating the darkness to guide people safely home. By day, they are also popular tourist destinations, showcasing unique coastal ecosystems and geological formations, often drawing crowds on weekends. It's clear that Taiwanese people share a deep connection with both the mountains and the sea, and a profound bond with these guiding lights.
