About Jīnpái Mén Lighthouse
This lighthouse stands on a reef marking the northern side of the narrow Mǐnjiāng entrance. It features an octagonal white concrete tower with a skeletal tower above. The structure is 10 meters high and emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for 10.4 nautical miles. Access to the site is possible by boat, though the tower itself is closed to the public. Its location near Fuzhou, 9.9 kilometers away, facilitates its role in local maritime traffic.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels through the Mǐnjiāng's challenging entrance and warning them of the reef it occupies. Its distinctive design serves as a clear daymark for navigators.
