About Wànjiāo Lighthouse
Also known as: Wànjiāo (Wàn Jiāo, Fan Jiao)
The Wànjiāo lighthouse stands on a reef located 4.4 kilometers from Xiangshan harbor, marking the southern edge of the Xiàngshāngǎng bay. This cylindrical concrete tower, painted white and standing 15 meters tall, has a focal height of 18 meters. It emits a white light with a geographic range of 12.7 nautical miles. The tower features a gallery and is set on a reef just off the Xiàngshāngǎng harbor entrance. Its operational status confirms its continued use for maritime navigation.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels away from the reef it is built upon, a significant hazard near the entrance to Xiàngshāngǎng harbor. Its position aids the safe entry and exit of ships within this busy shipping lane.
