About Guāncháijiāo Lighthouse
Also known as: Guāncháijiāo (Guānchái Jiāo)
Guāncháijiāo Lighthouse was built in 2009 as a concrete hexagonal tower standing 8 meters tall. It is painted with green and white horizontal bands, providing a visual reference for mariners. The lighthouse is situated on a reef in the northern section of Wéitóu Bay, approximately 800 meters from the Fujian mainland coast near Shíjǐng. Its light is white, flashing once every 6 seconds, and can be seen for 9.7 nautical miles. The structure serves as an active aid to navigation in the region.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the reef it marks, aiding local shipping and fishing vessels navigating the coastal waters of Wéitóu Bay.
