Cape Santiago (Taiwan)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Cape Santiago[1] (Chinese: 三貂角; pinyin: Sāndiāojiǎo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sam-tiau-kak) is a cape located in Gongliao District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. The cape is the easternmost point of the main Taiwan island, and also the easternmost cape of Taiwan. On 5 May 1626, a Spanish fleet reached the northeast tip of Taiwan and named the native village of Caquiunauan (present-day Fulong Village) as Santiago. Later this name was extended to the nearby cape.[2]
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.
(Note: The Spanish origin name is often written incorrectly in current government published English language tourism literature as San Diego (such as [3]) since both San Diego and Santiago is transcribed into Chinese as 聖地牙哥[4] )
