About A Kung Ngam Lighthouse
Also known as: A Kung Ngam (Eastern Fairway)
A square concrete tower, 8 meters high and painted red, was built in 1964. It stands on a concrete tripod structure mounted on a one-story equipment building. The light's focal height is 11 meters, emitting a red flash every 5 seconds. A daybeacon was first placed at this location in 1902, and a light was established in 1924. The lighthouse is operational and has a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks a narrow passage at the northeast corner of Hong Kong Island, guiding vessels through busy shipping lanes.
