About Tǔyǔ Lighthouse
Also known as: Tǔyǔ (Tǔ Yǔ)
Operational since 2009, Tǔyǔ lighthouse stands 8 meters tall on a shoal located 1.5 kilometers off the southeastern coast of Xiàméndǎo. This concrete tower, painted bright red, emits a single white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 10.7 nautical miles. The structure is a hexagonal cylindrical concrete tower with a gallery, topped with tiles that are white with narrow red horizontal bands. Although the site is open to access by boat, the tower itself is closed to the public. The lighthouse is situated near the nearest port of Xiamen, approximately 4.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The Tǔyǔ lighthouse is essential for safe navigation off Xiàméndǎo, marking a shoal 1.5 kilometers offshore and providing a critical warning to ships in this busy coastal area.
