Guihou Sunrise Pavilion is a coastal viewpoint located along the North Coast of Taiwan, specifically positioned to overlook the ocean near the Guihou fishing village. The structure serves as a dedicated observation point for watching the dawn break over the East China Sea. It is integrated into the coastal landscape near the Wanli district's famous geological rock formations. The area is renowned for its proximity to local seafood markets where seasonal crab is a primary commodity. The pavilion provides a sheltered vantage point above the rugged shoreline, offering clear sightlines toward the horizon.
