Ju-Nui-San Lighthouse

The Ju-Nui-San Lighthouse is a navigation aid structure located on Qingdao's coast in China. The tower features automated light systems and operates as a guide for vessels moving through the shipping lanes of the Yellow Sea.

The lighthouse was built in 1997 and became operational during a period of rapid port expansion along China's coast. Its construction helped support growing international shipping and trade activity in the region.

The lighthouse is known locally as Tuandao Lighthouse and represents the meeting of Qingdao's German colonial past with modern Chinese maritime needs. Its location within the harbor shows how the city connects its seafaring traditions with contemporary shipping demands.

This is an active navigation aid structure, so access may be limited or restricted to protect maritime operations. Visitors should view the lighthouse from outside the working harbor area, as these zones are reserved for shipping activities.

A copper plaque from the German colonial era displays both 'Hafen von Tsingtau' and Chinese characters, marking the lighthouse's location within the harbor. This artifact documents where two different periods of Qingdao's maritime history intersect.
