The Xiàdānyǔ lighthouse stands on a hexagonal white concrete tower with a gallery, reaching a height of 10 meters. Its focal plane is 28 meters above sea level, emitting a white light with a characteristic of one flash every six seconds. This structure is located on an island in the center of the narrow strait that serves as the mouth of Luōyuán Bay, approximately 5 kilometers from the nearest port of Luoyuan. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 14.9 nautical miles. It is an operational aid to navigation, guiding vessels into and out of the bay.

Why it matters: This lighthouse is indispensable for safe navigation through the narrow strait leading into Luōyuán Bay, a critical passage for local shipping. Its precise placement on an island within this strait directly mitigates the hazards of entering or exiting the bay.
