Also known as: Dàzhūniángjiāo (Dàzhūniáng Jiāo, Gāngpán Jiāo)

This white, cylindrical concrete tower stands 13 meters tall, with its light positioned 15 meters above sea level. Mounted on a square concrete pier on a reef, the structure features a lantern and gallery. It emits a white flash every five seconds. The lighthouse is located in Zhejiang province, marking the entrance to the narrower portion of Xiangshan Bay. Its geographic range extends 11.9 nautical miles, and it is operational from a concrete tower.

Why it matters: The lighthouse guides maritime traffic into the narrower, more challenging sections of Xiangshan Bay, preventing groundings on the reef it occupies.
