About Nánsānliàngchējiāo Lighthouse
Also known as: Nánsānliàngchējiāo (Xiǎn Jiāo)
This concrete and fiberglass lighthouse, painted with red and white horizontal bands, stands 21 meters tall. Its cylindrical tower features a fiberglass upper section shaped like an hourglass, mounted on a hexagonal concrete pedestal. The light emits a single white flash every 5 seconds, visible for 13.4 nautical miles. The original light at this location was established in 1928, followed by a second lighthouse built in 1961. The current structure was erected in 1987.
Why it matters: Established to warn ships about the Nánsānliàngchējiāo, a dangerous rocky reef located about 25 km southeast of Dàlián, its strategic placement aids in preventing groundings.
