Lei Yue Mun Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Lei Yue Mun Village, Hong Kong.
Lei Yue Mun Lighthouse is a white concrete structure positioned at the eastern entrance of Victoria Harbour, marking the shipping channel between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. It rises from a rocky coastal area surrounded by residential buildings and small local shops.
Built in 1902, the lighthouse helped Hong Kong develop as a major maritime and trading center. The structure has guided generations of vessels safely through the harbour's narrow passage.
The lighthouse sits near the former fishing village of Lei Yue Mun, where maritime traditions remain visible in local shops and the daily rhythms of residents. The place holds memories of when fishing was central to life here.
The site is best reached by MTR, taking the line to Yau Tong station and then walking through Lei Yue Mun Village. The route is straightforward and signage guides you through residential streets toward the waterfront and lighthouse.
During low tide, visitors can walk along the rocky shoreline to approach the structure more closely and photograph it against the harbor backdrop. This window of time offers a different vantage point on the building.
