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

The Cape Collinson Lighthouse features a two-story structure with an illuminating apparatus mounted on the roof, marking the entrance to Sulphur Channel.

Constructed in 1876, the lighthouse was initially operated by keepers living on the ground floor until automation modifications in the 1960s.

The granite tower represents maritime architectural design principles of the late 19th century, reflecting Hong Kong's commitment to maritime navigation safety.

The lighthouse functions as an active navigational aid operated by the Hong Kong Marine Department, guiding vessels through the eastern waters of Hong Kong Island.

Ancient rock carvings discovered in 2018 on nearby cliffs at 11 meters above sea level earned recognition as a declared monument of Hong Kong.
