About Jìngzǐtóu Lighthouse
Also known as: Jìngzǐtóu (Jingzi Tou, Ching-tsu t'ou)
A white cylindrical concrete tower with a black lantern stands 8 meters tall, topped by a gallery. This structure, built in 1975, replaced an earlier skeletal tower established in 1953. The lighthouse is situated on a narrow promontory projecting northward into the sea, approximately 5.2 km from Weihai. Its light emits a white flash every 15 seconds from a focal height of 92 meters, visible for 24 nautical miles. The station itself is located in the Huancui District of Shandong province.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the Jìngzǐtóu promontory, a significant hazard for vessels navigating coastal waters north of Weihai.
