Laotieshan Lighthouse, Maritime beacon in Lüshunkou District, China

The round cylindrical lighthouse, constructed of cast iron, stands 14 meters tall and features a first-order Fresnel lens for navigation purposes.

The lighthouse, prefabricated in France and established in 1893, underwent control transitions between Russia, Japan, and the Soviet Union before returning to Chinese management.

The lighthouse grounds include multiple keeper houses and auxiliary buildings that represent the maritime heritage of northeastern China's coastal region.

The Maritime Safety Administration maintains the lighthouse's functionality, which emits two white flashes every thirty seconds to guide vessels through local waters.

Located at the intersection of the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, the lighthouse area serves as a natural reserve for over 200 bird species.

Inception: 1893
