About Zhōng Jùn Lighthouse
Built in 1994, this bright yellow, concrete skeletal tower measures 9 meters in height. It is set on a concrete pier located on a shoal, on the south side of the Náncáo entrance to the Yangtze River, approximately 5 kilometers from the coast. The structure is 16 kilometers southeast of the Shanghai entrance and incorporates tide gauging apparatus. The light emits a single yellow flash every 12 seconds, with a geographic range of 10 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The Zhōng Jùn lighthouse marks the shoal it occupies, assisting safe transit into the busy Náncáo entrance of the Yangtze River. Its integrated tide gauging equipment also supplies data for maritime safety and port operations.
