About Lóngmùjiāo Lighthouse

Also known as: Lóngmùjiāo (Dragon's Eye Reef)

This black concrete tower stands 12 meters tall on a shoal off Shāchéngzhèn, a peninsula across from Fújiàn Head. Its focal height is 9 meters, and it emits a white flash every three seconds, visible for 10 nautical miles. The lighthouse is an active aid to navigation, constructed from concrete. Its isolated position means access is only possible by boat. The tower is black and its operational status is confirmed.

Why it matters: This lighthouse warns vessels of the dangerous shoal it occupies off Shāchéngzhèn, aiding navigation in the waters between the peninsula and Fújiàn Head.
