Mitko, you dont list Macau in the countries of Asia. I will upload some pics. But adding to China is not correct!

Who knows, where I can download the Hong Kong lights list?

On a trip to Samut Sakhon, Mae Nam Tha Chin Entrance , I was surprised, when I took a boat to see the lights F2938-F2938.6 ! All lights were replaced by buoys! I took pictures from buoy 8,9,10. The boatsman told me, that many collisions with the lights were the reason for the replacement with buoys! Does the Admiralty knows these facts?

Preparing one of my next lighthouse trips to Wales and Southwest England in September! So I have found another twin lighthouse at the southernmost point of Englands mainland : The Lizard, ARLHS ENG-068!

On my trip to New England I have seen two twin lighthouses, Navesink in New Jersey and Thacher Island, Massachusetts. Today it is hard to understand, what is the need to build two expensive lighthouses at same place!
Are there more twins in other places than New England?
Attached two pictures from the Navesink. One picture shows the view from North to South tower. Third picture is a distant view to Thacher Island lighthouses, accessible only by boat. Boat tours are available in July an August!

I can agree, Cape Santiago Lighthouse is a very popular and interesting place in Taiwan! Inside the keepers house you can find a small museum describing the history of the most eastern lighthouse of Taiwan!

What a shame, when the lighthouse will collapse? A lighthouse with such an interesting history!!
Check the Youtube video: https://youtu.be/zLw-r4VPzCM
This video about 12 abandoned places shows two other abandoned lighthouses, Fastnet lighthouse Ireland and the spectacular Tillamook lighthouse in Oregon, USA!
Great video!

Back from my lighthouse trip to Hong Kong and Macau I want first thank Mitko and Fluorite for their help in preparing my trip!
Both cities are amazing ! I had not too much time to visit all the Hong Kong Lighthouses. Some months later I will upload all my pictures!
But let my give all lighthousefriends a great advice to find the lights by smartphone! I owe this advice Alexander Trabas, manager of Webside " Online List of Lights"!
Start download the app "maps.me" on your tablet or smartphone. Download map, for instance Taiwan! Now change to " Online list of lights" , go to country Taiwan and download KML-Data from Taiwan.
Now you can switch all lights from OLL in your map Taiwan.
Maybe can Mitko explain this action more professional!
With this help from Maps.me it was an easy way to find all lights! Great deal!
The picture shows Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter Dolphin E, P 3571.52, in Hong Kong!

Trying to end the discussion in the Forum. Mitkos sea card is correct! Alexander Trabas helped us to identify the Rear light by a street view picture!
What is realy confusing, the Front light at sea front (C7430) has a triangle with tip down and the Rear Light has no triangle! Now we looking for the next visitor to make a great picture of the Rear light!

Great map!

You can see the trash?  Please remove it!

What is the recommondation for using keyword list? Creating new key words, or strongly using only list for uploads ?
Some keywords are doubles ( Ireland), some keywords describes only a small area!

Maybe this is the other old and inactive breakwater light!?

During my Sweden trip last year I have made pics from the Halmstad harbor, estuary of Nissan River. I could imagine that this structures have been breakwater lights and now are not active?
