About jiāo Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse stands 9 meters above sea level on a reef in the Mǐnjiāng river, near Fuzhou City. The 8.5-meter tower is painted black with a single red horizontal band. It emits a white flash every five seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. The lighthouse was repainted in 2006, an event likely indicating a shift in the marked shipping channel. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The jiāo lighthouse marks a submerged hazard within the Mǐnjiāng river, guiding vessels and warning them of the reef it occupies.
