Cape Santiago is a cape on the easternmost point of the island of Taiwan, located in the Gongliao District, New Taipei City.
History On 5 May 1626, a Spanish fleet reached the northeast tip of Taiwan, and named the native village of Caquiunauan (also Caguiuanuan; present-day Fulong Village) as Santiago. Later this name was extended to the nearby cape.
Tourist attractions There is a lighthouse situated on Cape Santiago, called Cape Santiago Lighthouse. A nearby beach, Yenliao (鹽寮), was the site of the first landing for the Japanese invasion of Taiwan in 1895.
