About Yāntái West Port Breakwater Lighthouse
This red, square skeletal tower, standing 15 meters tall, was constructed from concrete. It was mounted on a 1-story concrete base and painted red. The light itself emitted a red signal. Located at the northern end of a breakwater in Yāntái harbor, China, this structure guided vessels. It was removed sometime after 2011, indicating changes to the port's infrastructure.
Why it matters: The light marked the end of a breakwater that protected Yāntái harbor, ensuring safe passage for vessels.
