About Thanlyin Point Range Rear Lighthouse

Thanlyin Point Range Rear is an operational lighthouse situated on the eastern bank of the Yangon River, approximately 3.5 kilometers from Yangon. It emits a white light with a single flash every two seconds. This range rear light functions in conjunction with a front range light to guide vessels along the waterway. The area features a low-lying delta landscape with numerous rivers and creeks, requiring precise navigation for maritime traffic. The lighthouse was established to support safe passage for ships approaching Yangon, Myanmar's principal port.

Why it matters: This range light is essential for vessels navigating the busy shipping lanes of the Yangon River, directly supporting the trade routes converging on Yangon Port. Its alignment with the front range light prevents groundings and collisions in this complex riverine environment.
