Baishamen Lighthouse

Baishamen Lighthouse is a navigation tower in Haikou built from white concrete and standing 72 meters tall. The structure rests on a three-story hexagonal foundation topped with a triangular prism form designed for modern maritime guidance.

The lighthouse began operations in 2000 as part of China's plan to upgrade coastal navigation systems in Hainan Province. Its activation improved maritime safety along Haikou Bay and surrounding shipping routes.

The white concrete tower represents the evolution of maritime navigation structures in modern Chinese coastal engineering and architecture.

Plan your visit during clear weather to see the white tower clearly and explore the surrounding Haikou waterfront. Access is typically restricted for safety, so check local conditions before heading out.

Standing as China's second tallest lighthouse, the structure combines a triangular tower design with a hexagonal foundation arrangement.
