About Fújiàn Tóu Lighthouse
Also known as: Fújiàn Tóu (Fújiàn Head)
This concrete lighthouse, completed in 1996, stands at the northernmost point of Fujian's coastline. Its cylindrical tower, covered in white ceramic tile, reaches a height of 14 meters, with its light situated 53 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 12 seconds, visible for over 19 nautical miles. It is located on a promontory that marks the southern side of the entrance to Shāchéng harbor. The base of an older beacon remains standing next to the current structure, serving as a link to the site's past.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for guiding vessels into and out of Shāchéng harbor and warns mariners of the northernmost point of the Fujian coastline.
