Gap Rock Lighthouse, Historical lighthouse in Wenwei Zhou, China.
The Gap Rock Lighthouse stands 42 meters above sea level on an island in the South China Sea, with its beam reaching 32 kilometers in clear conditions.
The Qing Government authorized the lighthouse construction in 1888, investing 7,500 dollars while maintaining Chinese sovereignty over the island territory.
The lighthouse represents a notable example of British-Chinese cooperation in maritime infrastructure development during the late 19th century.
The structure now operates through solar power and continues to guide vessels through the South China Sea with one flash every six seconds.
The original lantern met destruction in a severe storm just three years after its 1892 installation, requiring immediate replacement for navigation safety.
