About Wūzhū Mén Lighthouse

Also known as: Wūzhū Mén (Wūzhū Entrance)

This cylindrical white concrete tower stands 9 meters tall on the north side of the entrance to Wūzhū harbor. With a focal height of 15 meters, it emits a white flash every 4 seconds. Its geographic range extends to 11.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse, operational since its construction, guides vessels into Lianjiang County's Wūzhū harbor. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.

Why it matters: The Wūzhū Mén lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation into Wūzhū harbor, directly guiding vessels through the entrance channel. Its consistent white flash every four seconds prevents groundings and collisions for ships approaching or departing the port.
