About Zhāngyújiāo Lighthouse
Also known as: Zhāngyújiāo (Zhāngyú Jiāo)
Zhāngyújiāo Lighthouse stands on a reef marking the channel between Gùlàngyǔ island and the Xiàmén waterfront. This octagonal pyramidal tower is constructed of concrete and stands 9 meters tall, with its light positioned 7.5 meters above sea level. It emits a single red flash every 4 seconds, visible for 9.5 nautical miles. The nearest port, Zhangzhou, is 2.6 kilometers away. While the lighthouse site is accessible, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for safe passage through the busy channel connecting Gùlàngyǔ Island and the Xiàmén waterfront, specifically warning vessels away from the submerged reef it occupies.
