About Xiǎodōngyǔ Lighthouse
Also known as: Xiǎodōngyǔ (Xiǎodōng Yǔ, Niùbìshān Shuǐdào)
Xiǎodōngyǔ Lighthouse was first lit in 1998 on an islet off the northeastern corner of the Xiàngshān peninsula. This cylindrical concrete tower stands 12 meters tall and is covered in white ceramic tiles. Its light emits a single white flash every 6 seconds and has a geographic range of 16.6 nautical miles. The focal height of the light is 37 meters. This lighthouse is located near Xiangshan County in China's Zhejiang region, with Liuheng port being the nearest port, 9.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is important for guiding vessels around the northeastern tip of the Xiàngshān peninsula, helping them avoid the islet and surrounding shallow areas. Its hexagonal concrete tower design is distinctive and built for durability in a marine setting.
