About Xiàlánshān Lighthouse
Also known as: Xiàlánshān (Xiàlán Shān)
A hexagonal cylindrical concrete tower with a gallery rises from a square pyramidal base at the northern end of Xiàlánshān island. This structure, standing 15.5 meters tall with its light positioned 20 meters above sea level, features a distinctive black and white vertical stripe pattern and is covered with ceramic tiles. The current lighthouse became operational in 1997, emitting a white flash every four seconds. A navigational station was first established on this island in 1954. The lighthouse's geographic range extends to 13.2 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks the northern extremity of Xiàlánshān island, guiding vessels navigating the waters southwest of Táohuādǎo.
