About Fèngyǔ Lighthouse

Also known as: Fèngyǔ (Fèng Yǔ)

Constructed in 2006, Fèngyǔ Lighthouse stands as an octagonal cylindrical concrete tower measuring 8 meters in height. It features a white finish distinguished by two horizontal red bands, topped with a lantern and gallery. The focal height of its white light is 30 meters, which emits a single white flash every 8 seconds. This lighthouse is situated on an islet just off the southern tip of Fèngyǔ island, a location approximately 10.4 kilometers from the nearest port of Sanbaimen. The structure's design is functional, built from concrete to withstand the coastal environment.

Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels of the island of Fèngyǔ and guides them along the shipping routes between the island and the mainland.
