The most obvious building on Mudouyu Island is the Mudouyu Lighthouse. The lighthouse is 39.9 meters high. It was built in 1899. At that time, in order to avoid corrosion and rust of the lighthouse, it was made of cast iron and painted with black and white parallel stripes on the exterior as a conspicuous warning sign. It flashes once every 20 seconds, with a candlelight of 500,000 candles and a illumination range of 19 nautical miles.


The Mudouyu Undersea Tunnel is located at the north of Jibei Island and at the bottom of the cliff. Usually, tourists who come here will snorkel in the nearby sea to watch fish. When the tide recedes slightly and the tunnel entrance is exposed, they can enter the tunnel to enjoy the beautiful ocean scenery. There are organisms such as oysters on the rock wall, and there are coral reefs, fish schools and other sceneries on the seabed. When the tide is high, pufferfish, tropical fish and so on can be seen. It is a very distinctive undersea scenery. However, it is recommended that tourists visit around the first and fifteenth days of the lunar calendar when the tide is extremely low for safety.


Opening hours: Open all day all year round.
