About Xiǎoyúshān Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, standing 10 meters tall and covered in white ceramic tile, houses the Xiǎoyúshān lighthouse. First lit in 1955, the current structure was built in 1985 at the western tip of Xiǎoyúshān island. It is positioned about 8 km east of Sānshā, marking the northern entrance to the Qùpí Pass. This narrow passage requires careful navigation around the end of the Sānshā peninsula. The lighthouse emits a white light with two flashes every six seconds, visible for 22.5 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The Xiǎoyúshān lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation through the Qùpí Pass, a constricted waterway around the Sānshā peninsula, by marking its northern entrance.
