About Mǎjiāo Lighthouse
Also known as: Mǎjiāo (Sìxìa)
This black concrete tower, standing 8.5 meters tall, marks the southern entrance to the Mǐnjiāng. Its focal height is also 8.5 meters, and it emits a white flash every 4 seconds, visible for 9.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated near Changle District, within the Fujian region of China. Its nearest port is Fuzhou, located 8.3 kilometers away. Access to the site is primarily by boat, reflecting its position at the convergence of the river and the sea.
Why it matters: The Mǎjiāo lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into and out of the Mǐnjiāng, particularly for ships utilizing its southern entrance. Its consistent white flash directly mitigates the risks associated with traversing this busy river mouth, preventing groundings and collisions in a critical shipping lane.
