About Xiéxuàntóu Lighthouse
A cylindrical concrete tower, 13 meters tall, stands on a small island 8 kilometers south of Liùhéng island and 20 kilometers east of the Xiàngshān Peninsula. Painted with black and white horizontal bands, it features a gallery and reaches a focal height of 17 meters. Since 2006, this lighthouse has emitted a white flash every two seconds, visible for 12.4 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed. Its construction in 2006 aimed to improve maritime safety in this active shipping area.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding ships approaching Xiàngshān Bay, a significant waterway for regional maritime traffic, and forms part of a critical navigational sequence for vessels entering the bay.
