About Qítóu Lighthouse
Also known as: Qítóu (Wēnzhōu Point, Wēnzhōu Jiǎo)
Completed and first lit in 2004, Qítóu Lighthouse is a 13-meter cylindrical concrete tower covered with white ceramic tiles. The structure features a gallery and stands on a promontory north of the Ōu estuary entrance. This waterway leads to Wēnzhōu harbor, with the nearest port being Wēnzhōu just 1 kilometer away. The lighthouse emits a white light with a single flash every six seconds. An earlier light was previously mounted on a short domed tower at this location.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the north side of the Ōu estuary entrance, guiding vessels into Wēnzhōu harbor. Its consistent signal aids in preventing groundings and collisions in the approach to this significant coastal port.
