A 12-meter tall white cylindrical metal tower stands 11 meters above sea level on the north side of the Đình Vũ branch entrance. This structure, featuring a pyramidal base, guides vessels toward the inner harbor of Hải Phòng, approximately 1.1 km away. Its light emits an isophase white or red signal every three seconds, with a geographic range of 10.7 nautical miles. The lighthouse is accessible only by boat, situated where the river channel begins.
