The lighthouse was built by the British Empire in 1872 to guide ships to Fuzhou during the Qing Dynasty when they were forced to open up along with four other treaty ports for trading. It was designated as a second-grade historic site in 1988 by the Ministry of the Interior.[3][4] Until 2013, the lighthouse came under the administration of Customs Administration of the Ministry of Finance before it was changed to Maritime and Port Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.[5]

Architecture

The lighthouse is connected to the office annex building via a 30-meter long windbreak wall.
