Cape Collinson Lighthouse, Maritime beacon at Cape Collinson, Eastern District Hong Kong.

Cape Collinson Lighthouse is a two-story stone building on the eastern coast of Hong Kong Island. Its lights on the roof help ships navigate safely through Sulphur Channel.

Cape Collinson Lighthouse was completed in 1876, a year after Cape D'Aguilar and Green Island lighthouses, after its signal light apparatus was mistakenly shipped to the Cape of Good Hope. It opened on 1 March 1876 as a sixth-order light flashing every 9 seconds. In 1907 a third-order lens was installed, visible 16 miles, and the structure was repaired in 1916, 1924, 1936 and 1946. A major 1966 renovation combined old and new structures and added an upper floor, with the lantern on the roof of the two-storey building and the granite base kept as the keeper's family quarters.

The lighthouse reflects shipping's importance to Hong Kong and has shaped the coastline's character for generations. Its sturdy granite structure shows how vital maritime trade was to the region's growth.

The site sits on a rocky coastline and can be reached via nearby paths along the eastern side of Hong Kong Island. The best view comes from a distance or from the water, as close access is limited.

The lighthouse was used by the Hong Kong Observatory to collect rainwater data, and the Marine Department still visits every two months for routine maintenance. Its light was delayed because the signal apparatus was mistakenly shipped to the Cape of Good Hope. The site is now enclosed by wire fencing.
