About Gwangalli Lighthouse
Also known as: #Gwangalli (Kwangalli)
This cylindrical metal tower, painted yellow and standing 21 meters tall, formerly served as the Gwangalli lighthouse. Its focal plane was 10 meters above the water, providing a geographic range of 7 nautical miles. The light emitted four yellow flashes in succession. Located off the Suyeong waterfront in Busan, it was approximately 4 kilometers from the nearest port. Though the site was accessible to the public, the tower itself remained closed. The lighthouse was removed from service in 2018 or 2019.
Why it matters: The Gwangalli lighthouse guided vessels navigating the waters near the Suyeong waterfront, a busy area for local maritime traffic. Its removal signifies a change in the navigational aids for this specific coastal region.
