Cape of Santiago (Zh-cp|c=三貂角|p=Sāndiāojiǎo, POJ: Sam-tiau-kak) is a cape located in Gongliao Township, Taipei, Taiwan. It's the eastern most point of Taiwan. On May 5, 1626, a Spanish fleet reached the northeast tip of Taiwan and named the native village of Caquiunauan (present Fulong) as Santiago. Later this name was extended to the nearby cape.
