I have had a lot if difficulty finding much information about this lighthouse.
It is situated on a promotory at the south eastern tip of the island of Yeondo in the East China Sea.
The original 4th order lens made by Chance Brothers of Smethwick near Birmingham has been removed and is now on display at the Homigot Lighthouse Museum.
