Naozhou Lighthouse
硇洲灯塔
A granite lighthouse built by the French in 1899, standing on the summit of Maanshan. It is the island's landmark and a prime spot for sea views.
Naozhou Lighthouse was built during the period of the French-leased territory of Guangzhouwan. Completed in 1899 under French supervision, it is constructed entirely of granite, remains in use today, and is a national key cultural relic protection site. It stands on Maanshan in the eastern part of the island, with wide views over the South China Sea and the basalt coastline. It is usually a stop on the island's round-island tour, where visitors spend about 30 to 40 minutes. Whether you can climb the tower depends on whether it is open on the day.
