About Lóngwān Pàotái Lighthouse
Also known as: Lóngwān Pàotái (Longwan Fort, Lóngwāntóu)
This white, cylindrical concrete tower stands 6 meters tall on a promontory south of the Lóngwān estuary. Its light is positioned 13 meters above sea level and emits a white flash every 10 seconds, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The structure features a domed top, with the light apparatus mounted directly on it. Lóngwān Pàotái is noted as a sibling to the original Qítóu lighthouse, suggesting a shared design or purpose. The lighthouse is located in the Longwan District of China's Zhejiang region, near the port of Wenzhou.
Why it matters: The lighthouse guides vessels through the Lóngwān estuary, a waterway with historical importance for trade and defense. Its connection to the original Qítóu lighthouse indicates a coordinated regional effort for maritime safety.
