About Cháishān Lighthouse
Also known as: Cháishān (Chái Shān, Si Jiao)
This concrete cylindrical tower stands 7 meters tall, with its top 15 meters above sea level. It displays black and white horizontal bands. The lighthouse is situated on a reef about 12 kilometers east of the northern end of the Xiàngshān Peninsula. It emits a single white flash every 2 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat and open to visitors, though the tower itself is closed. Its nearest port is Liuheng, approximately 12.2 kilometers away.
Why it matters: Cháishān Lighthouse guides ships approaching Xiàngshān Bay from the south, marking a key entry point.
