Xiao Qingdao Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse on Xiao Qingdao Island, China.

The white cylindrical tower rises 18 meters above sea level, providing essential navigational signals to ships in the Yellow Sea waters.

German authorities constructed the lighthouse in 1904 during their occupation of Qingdao, establishing it as a crucial maritime navigation point.

The island's name derives from its resemblance to an ancient Chinese musical instrument, leading locals to refer to it as Qin Dao.

The lighthouse operates with a light characteristic of Fl R 6.5s and maintains an Admiralty number P3826 for maritime navigation purposes.

The lighthouse island remained a restricted military zone until 1987, when it opened to visitors seeking coastal views of Qingdao.
