About Lóngténg Hángdào Lighthouse
Also known as: Lóngténg Hángdào (Bēngtángjiǎo Range Front)
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 44 meters tall, was built in 2007 near Zhanjiang City. Positioned directly in the surf off Cape Bēngtáng, it marks the southern side of the entrance to Zhànjiāng harbor. The lighthouse features a white tower with a red vertical stripe on the range line. Its light emits white, red, or green sectors, with a four-second cycle. Originally part of a range system, the rear light was removed in 2014, and this light was then converted to serve as a directional leading light.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into Zhànjiāng harbor, serving as the primary approach range for vessels entering the port. Its conversion to a directional leading light in 2014 underscores its critical role in guiding ships through specific channels.
