About Hansan Hang Lighthouse
Also known as: Hansan Hang (Turtle Ship Lighthouse)
This 13-meter white concrete post light stands on a shoal within the harbor of Hansan, a deep inlet on the northwestern coast of Hansando. The concrete pier supporting the light is shaped like a medieval turtle ship, a distinctive design element. The light emits a single white flash every four seconds. It is located 2.9 kilometers from the port of Tongyeong-si.
Why it matters: The lighthouse commemorates Admiral Yi Sun-Sin's naval victories in the 1590s, with its turtle ship design serving as a historical monument and navigational aid. It marks a shoal in Hansan harbor, assisting local vessels.
