The Eluanbi, lighthouse was completed in 1883, following requests from the American and Japanese governments to the Chinese government after several shipwrecks occurred in the 1860s. Chinese troops had to be sent to protect the lighthouse during construction from attacks by local tribesmen, and the lighthouse was surrounded by a fort with cannons and a ditch for protection. It is one of the rare examples in the world of a fortified lighthouse. The lighthouse itself is 21.4 metres (70 ft) high and its light is 56.4 metres (185 ft) above the tidal high water. The light flashes every 10 seconds and its range is 27.2 nautical miles (50.4 km).
After Eluanbi, we decided to have Pork Knuckle for lunch because today is Pork Knuckle Festival. The Pork Knuckle tasted wonderful. We enjoyed the food.
There was a beautiful white dog sit next to me. She was so quiet, so cute, and so behalf.
On the way to Kaohsiung (高雄), I saw a dog standing on the moving motorcycle. The dog has super balancing skill!!
After arrived in Kaohsiung, we went to a department store and Liouhe Night Market (六合夜市). The night market snack food is a unique food culture of Taiwan and many travelers and locals come here specially to enjoy the cheap and delicious foods, such as papaya milk, oyster omelet, fried chicken cutlet and stinky tofu.
We had stinky tofu, papaya milk, and other special food. I love to eat more, but … I can’t!! Sad!
