Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse, Protected lighthouse at Cape D'Aguilar, Hong Kong.
The cylindrical stone tower rises 9.7 meters high on the southeastern coast of Hong Kong Island, featuring a white exterior and geometric iron door.
Built in 1875 as Hong Kong's first lighthouse, the structure operated until 1896 when the Waglan Island Lighthouse took over maritime navigation responsibilities.
The lighthouse stands as one of five remaining pre-war navigation structures in Hong Kong, receiving monument status recognition in 2006 for its historical value.
The automated light system, reactivated in 1975, sits 60 meters above sea level, providing visibility across 23 nautical miles during clear weather conditions.
The original first-order Fresnel lens from Cape D'Aguilar was transferred to Green Island Lighthouse in 1905 to replace its fourth-order illumination system.
