About Chidudo Lighthouse
Also known as: Chidudo (Biando, Pian-do)
The Chidudo Lighthouse is a yellow, cylindrical concrete tower standing 10 meters tall, with its light positioned 17 meters above sea level. It is situated on a skerry off the southeastern tip of Biando, near Gunsan-si in South Korea's Jeonbuk State. This lighthouse emits a white light with one flash every six seconds, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The site is open to visitors who can arrive by boat, though the tower itself is not accessible to the public. Its location guides vessels navigating the coastal waters.
Why it matters: The Chidudo Lighthouse marks a skerry off Biando, guiding local shipping and fishing vessels and helping to prevent groundings on the rocky coastal features.
