About Yángyǔ Lighthouse
Also known as: Yángyǔ (Yáng Yǔ, Jianyu)
A square concrete tower, standing 10 meters tall and clad in white ceramic tile, houses the Yángyǔ lighthouse. It was built in 1994 atop a small island situated just off Běijiāo and about 3 kilometers east of Kěménjiǎo. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 25 nautical miles. The station itself was established in 1954, with the current structure replacing an earlier aid to navigation. Its focal height reaches 101 meters above sea level. The lighthouse is operational and located within Lianjiang County in China's Fujian region.
Why it matters: The lighthouse ensures safe passage for local shipping, marking a critical point along the coastline near Běijiāo and Kěménjiǎo.
