Lyudao Lighthouse (綠島燈塔) | Green Island
Green Island Lighthouse was built in 1914 during the Japanese occupation period (1939). It is located in Zhongliao Village, Northwest Cape of Green Island, close to Bitou Cape. Tower 33.3 meters high, the appearance of white straight-shaped buildings, standing in a green meadow above the blue sky and white clouds, like an excellent impressionist painting. At night, it has transformed itself into a guardian of the sailing man, an important indicator of fishing vessels and aircraft, and a historic light in the Pacific Ocean.
In December 1937, a 199-meter-long vessel carrying 31,000 tons of payload was called President Hoover, the largest luxury cruise ship in the world today. It departed from Keelung on the way to the Philippines, Mansion (Chaikou) sea area ran aground. On the morning of the next day, the residents of Green Island sent out to rescue. They successively rescued the crew and tourists ashore and settled in their homes, gaining universal acclaim internationally. In order to thank the residents of Green Island for their courage and courage, the U.S. authorities came forward to contribute to the Green Island Lighthouse through the Red Cross Society. During the Second World War, the lighthouse was destroyed by air strikes. The lighthouse seen today is rebuilt by the government of the Republic of China in 1937 (1948).
Green Island Lighthouse about 33.3 meters high, a total of 150 steps, from the top of the tower overlooking the island. Building mining reinforced concrete structure, the tower is cylindrical, the original appearance of the color ring for the black and white Plaid, building walls and walls are deposited with pebbles. After the Republic of China was rebuilt in 37 years, all were replaced by pure white paint. The existing beacon adopts the new fourth-class rotating lens AC lamp, which is capable of blinking white light once every 20 seconds and has a light power of 1 million candle lights. The equipment is more novel and enables sailing people to recognize the direction more according to the light source.
Since 102 years, the lighthouse of Taiwan has changed its management to the Air Traffic Control Administration of the Ministry of Communications and is basically not open to the public. However, it is usually open to the public on a daily basis for one day. From March to May every year, Green Island Lily is in full bloom. There are large wild lilies in front of Green Island Lighthouse for the public to enjoy.

20150829 Green Island, Taiwan_Dan_Tibo_Patty_Guitar_Didgeridoo_Flute_Jam Session
Green Island, Taiwan
a.k.a. Lyu-dao (Deer Island), a.k.a. Burnt Island
This is a musical, photo, video story of my 2 weeks there during Taiwan's Ghost Month, where it's said that the spirits will take over your soul...and if you go in the ocean, they will pull you under to your death, so that they can pass on to the afterlife. I basically went to all the spots I asked about and the locals said to stay away from, and had an amazing time.
I snorkeled the shit out of the island, mostly in the spots tourists and locals avoided. I camped out in You-Zih-hu, the island's first, however, now abandoned native island people's village...the Han Chinese population of Taiwan, over time, strongly encouraged the original Polynesian population to leave....and on the main island, to move into the mountains, away from the best, flat, fertile lands of the western coast. The Wang/Huang family was at Youzihhu until 1976, where they left behind the coral cement homes, and (98) 7'x17' cement aquaculture ponds for abalone production...the seawater supply pipeline can be found in what I call the port, along with a freshwater lens, flowing out of the sand-coral volcanic circle, at high tide, and into the the port.
I neither saw, heard, nor felt any ghosts on land or in the water...only beauty...and some ugly things too, which I already studied before coming to Green Island.
This where some Taiwanese, suspected as being Chinese Communists were sent to prison, called Re-education during the White Terror under Taiwan's martial law days... starting in the 1950s, parallel to the US's Communist witch-hunt McCarthy era, following WWII when Japanese-American citizens were sent to internment camps in America.
In Taiwan, many of these Taiwanese political prisoners were sentenced to death, after hard labor (including for some, walks from Taipei in the north to the southern port, a death walk though Devil's Gate, a rock archway at the beach of the facility, and failed re-education...even those turned in by neighbors, whom where not actually China communist supporters...this includes both men and women.

(I've never played flute in my entire life...and this is actually my first jam, ever...used to play trumpet as a kid...love Kareoke...and play some didgeridoo at home from time to time...gave away my Aussie Aboriginal made didge to a friend in the US, before I headed off to live in Taiwan 3 years prior)
