About Shékǒu New Channel Range Front Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical fiberglass tower, measuring 13 meters in height, was built and first lit in 2008. It features a distinctive red vertical stripe and a red triangle at its apex, mounted on a square platform. The lighthouse emits an isophase green light every 2 seconds from a focal height of 14 meters. Its geographic range extends to 11.6 nautical miles. Located in the Nanshan District, it stands across Shēnzhèn Bay from Hong Kong, near the Shékǒu waterfront. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This navigational aid is indispensable for guiding ships through the Shékǒu New Channel, a critical artery for trade and commerce in Shēnzhèn Bay. Its precise green light ensures safe navigation for the numerous cargo and passenger vessels transiting between the Shékǒu waterfront and the broader South China Sea.
