This hexagonal concrete tower stands 7 meters tall, with its light positioned 13 meters above sea level. Painted with red and white horizontal bands, the structure marks the eastern tip of an island on the west side of the Sānshā Bay entrance. It emits a white light with one flash every 5 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located near Luoyuan County, with the nearest port being Luoyuan, 6 kilometers away. Its design features a gallery atop the hexagonal concrete base.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding maritime traffic safely into Sānshā Bay, specifically marking the western side of its entrance. Its distinctive white flash helps mariners navigate the approach to a busy waterway, preventing groundings on the island's eastern tip.
