About Chēniúshān Lighthouse
Also known as: Chēniúshān (Chēniúshāndǎo)
The Chēniúshān lighthouse is situated on Chēniúshāndǎo island in Hǎizhōu Bay, approximately 50 kilometers northeast of Liányúngǎng, Jiāngsū province. It stands on the island's highest point, a round cylindrical concrete tower built in 1987 to a height of 22 meters. The lighthouse exhibits a white light with two flashes every 12 seconds. Its focal height is 87 meters, providing a geographic range of 23.4 nautical miles. A two-story building for crew and offices was added in 1992.
Why it matters: The original lighthouse was destroyed during World War II, with a subsequent light established in 1952 before the current tower was built in 1987. It marks a significant island feature for vessels navigating Hǎizhōu Bay and approaching the port of Lanshan, located 21.2 km away.
