About Dàgōngdǎo Lighthouse
Also known as: Dàgōngdǎo (Dagōng Dǎo, Takungtao, Grand Island)
The Dàgōngdǎo lighthouse, first lit in 1988, stands on a small island 18 kilometers southeast of Qingdao. The current cylindrical fiberglass tower, painted white, reaches a height of 10 meters with a focal height of 131 meters. It emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for nearly 28 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated in the Shinan District of Shandong province, near the nearest port of Qingdao, located 8 kilometers away. This structure replaced an earlier light established in 1908.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides maritime traffic approaching the major port city of Qingdao, ensuring safe passage in busy shipping lanes.
