About Shàngpánjiāo Lighthouse
Also known as: Shàngpánjiāo (Shàngpán Jiāo)
Located on a rocky islet roughly 3 kilometers from the southeastern extremity of Zhūjiājiān in China's Zhejiang region, Shàngpánjiāo Lighthouse is a 7-meter tall concrete tower. It features a yellow exterior with a single black horizontal band. The light source is positioned at a focal height of 27 meters, offering visibility up to 14.7 nautical miles. The operational light characteristic is a white flash every 8 seconds (Fl W 8s). Discrepancies exist in some records, with mentions of a 3-meter tower height, a white tower, and a different flash sequence (Fl(2) WR 6s). The nearest port is Liuheng, 17.3 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of a shallow islet located about 3 km offshore from Zhūjiājiān, acting as a reference point for vessels in the vicinity.
