About Mǎtíshān Lighthouse
Also known as: Mǎtíshān (Mǎtí Shān)
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 11 meters tall, guides vessels on the north side of the Wēnzhōu estuary, opposite Qīdū island. Its structure features a hexagonal base with a gallery, and its exterior is clad in red and white horizontal bands. Established in 2002, the lighthouse emits a white flash every 3 seconds from a focal height of 13 meters, visible for 11.3 nautical miles. The site is accessible, though the tower itself remains closed to the public. It serves as a modern navigational aid near the port of Wēnzhōu.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into Wēnzhōu, specifically marking a constricted section of the estuary that demands precise maneuvering from all vessels.
