About Dàshuāng Zhōu Lighthouse
Built in 2008, Dàshuāng Zhōu lighthouse is a 10-meter tall cylindrical tower constructed from concrete. The structure, painted red, features a gallery and stands on a small island. Its focal plane reaches 36 meters above sea level, casting a white light with a single flash every 8 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 16.4 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though climbing the tower is not permitted. Dàshuāng Zhōu lies near the port of Huizhou, approximately 6.5 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves to guide vessels entering and exiting Dàyà Bay, a significant waterway. It specifically warns of the island's presence at the bay's entrance, helping to prevent groundings.
