Chaoliandao Lighthouse, Maritime navigational structure in Shandong, China.

The Chaoliandao Lighthouse stands 80 meters tall on the eastern coast, emitting white light signals every 10 seconds across a range of 24 nautical miles.

Built in 1903, the lighthouse endured damage during the 1914 Battle of Qindao and later sustained impacts from US Navy bombings in July 1945.

The lighthouse serves as a symbol of maritime heritage in Shandong province, representing early twentieth-century Chinese coastal navigation and engineering practices.

Maritime vessels utilize the lighthouse's Admiralty number P3814 and ARLHS identification PRC014 for accurate navigation through the Yellow Sea waters.

The structure maintains its original purpose after 120 years, guiding ships through the same waters where major naval conflicts of two world wars occurred.
