About Chūbìménzhúpái Lighthouse
The Chūbìménzhúpái lighthouse is a cylindrical concrete tower standing 9.5 meters tall, covered in white ceramic tile. It was built in 1991, replacing an earlier station established in 1955. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 4 seconds from a focal height of 14 meters, visible for 11.6 nautical miles. Its strategic location on a reef marks the southern entrance to the Qùpí Pass. The nearest port, Saiqi, is 31.7 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels through the Qùpí Pass, a critical navigational channel. Its position on a reef warns mariners of potential hazards in the waterway.
