Dongju Lighthouse — Attraction in Lienchiang County

East Chu-Kuang Lighthouse was built in 1872. Due to the defeat of the Opium War, China and the United Kingdom signed the Treaty of Nanking. Fuzhou became one of the major trading ports, and ships came in and out frequently. Therefore, the Lighthouse was built to guide the traffic outside the estuary of the Ming River. This Lighthouse is an English-style building made of granite. It is amazing that the thickness of the walls is 99 cm thick. From the cultural exhibition hall to the lighthouse, there is a 30-meter-long white windbreak low wall, which becomes a special scene. Because the Lighthouse has a high terrain and strong winds; in order to prevent the kerosene lamps in the hands of the light-keepers from being blown out by the wind, this wall was specially built. The light-keepers lowered their bodies and passed quickly so that the lanterns would not be blown out. The strongly white-colored lighthouse stands quietly on the top of the hill, against the backdrop of the blue sky and the green turf, people suddenly have the illusion of staying at Greece.
