Chinese map Jiliang river.

A Lijiang river cruise seems to be a highlight in Guilin, China. Not well know is , that the river has many small lighthouses.
My photographer sends my 4 lighthouses and a pic from a Chinese map.
Can anyone give us the name and coordinates of the lighthouses ( Flourite ?)

Are lighthouses still being built today?
This pretty and modern lighthouse was built after 2017, where I have been before.Now it is the youngest lighthouse I have seen !
KI gives no answer about the construction year, maybe about 2023.
The purpose of the location is unclear to me. The Chumpon harbour is northern and the vessel traffic seems low !

In front of the bridges in Paris, there are beacons with a white top. They are not lighted. What effect does this top have on shipping traffic?

Hola Ruben,
              check the blog on this website. Here I summerize the churches , which serve as navigation aids on my journeys.

The Strait of Messina is certainly a busy sea waterway. This may be one of the reasons why such extraordinary lighthouses are located here - lighthouses with two laterns.
Capo Peloro, E1806 (black/white) and opposite Punta Pezzo, E1770 (red/white)
I can't remember ever having seen lighthouses with two laterns before.

What an impressive building ! You only get to know something like this if you love lighthouses !
Admiralty has listed all piers of the Tidal Barrier. Most numbers include two lights, the red ones show an X and the green ones an arrow.
Unfortunately this is not shown in my pics!
The two pics are by Alexander Trabas!

Last time I uploaded many pics from the Workington harbour. I have not seen so many lights and daymarks in such a small space. How to use the lights and daymarks?? What is useful for navigation ? What is superfluous ? Why so many lights?

The visit of the Torre de Hércules in La Coruna is a highlight for every lighthouse lover.The lighthouse is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009.Inside the lighthouse you can see remains of the old lighthouse.

Lighthouse trails are an easy way to explore lighthouses by car or hiking.
The hiking trail in Galicia is the second trail I know.
The first famous lighthouse route I went by car was in Nova Scotia !
Who knows other famous routes?

O Camiño dos Faros that runs through loads of different landscapes always looking at the sea towards the West. Lighthouses, beaches, dunes, rivers, cliffs, forests, estuaries with a great variety of birds, "castros" ("hill-forts"), dolmens, fishing villages, viewpoints from where to enjoy how the sea breaks in all ways possible, sunsets and so on. A hiking route different from the others that will take the hiker to a world full of unique sensations only enjoyable in this Costa da Morte.

A very strange light, like a sentry box, I have seen in Ericeira, Portugal !
Does anyone know of a comparable lightfire somewhere ?

The Norwegian coastal administration Kystverket, together with the coastal transport museum Kystverkmusea, has now put digital versions of twelve lighthouses online.More will follow !
