The five tiger reefs that visitors see on the island are Fuhu reefs (including Zihu reefs), Jianhu reefs, Gaohu reefs (islands), Pinghu reefs and tiger dung reefs. The "five tigers" floating in the turbulent waves show its vigor. When the tide is high, its shape is like a pearl floating in the blue sea.

Most tourists like beiyushan Island, which covers a small area of only 0.5 square kilometers and is one of the Yushan islands. The island is high in the South and low in the north. The highest point is 83.4 meters above sea level. There is a lighthouse on the island. Due to the long time, climbing Nanfeng to watch the lighthouse has become the main destination for tourists to go to beiyushan. Yushan lighthouse is not only the only way for ships to travel south and North in Yushan sea area, but also a beautiful scenery. The two lighthouses on Yushan island are cylinder shaped, red and white, 16.9 meters high and 4 meters in diameter. The lighthouse flashes white light every 30 seconds, and its signal can be seen inside and outside 26 nautical miles. The other is a modern solar lighthouse designed and manufactured by our country. Its steel frame is taller and thinner than the old one. One is taller, one is shorter, and the other is fatter and thinner.

Lighthouse introduction

Beiyushan lighthouse is the symbol of Yushan Island, known as "the largest lighthouse in the Far East", and has become an international navigation mark. In the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, it was built with 50000 taels of silver consumed by Shanghai Customs. At that time, there were only towers and lamps. According to local fishermen, 12 years before the tower was built, two ships, the Hua Lun Huaiyuan and the de Lun Yangzi, were wrecked near the island, killing 165 people, as detailed in the local chronicles. The lighthouse is made of iron, white round, 16.9 meters high and 4 meters in diameter. It is specially made by Barbier company in Paris, France. The diameter of the super mirror is 2.66 meters, the height is 3.6 meters, and the weight is 15 tons. At that time, it was the most super mirror in the world. Today, the lighthouse on the island was rebuilt in 1985 with the approval of the Ministry of transport. It uses solar cells, xenon lamps and drum lenses. The lighthouse uses the sealed beam projector drb-211884000c2 from the UK. The main light range is more than 25 nautical miles. Other lighthouse related devices are leading in China.

According to the tower keeper, due to the importance of the geographical location of the island, the lighthouse has always been the main navigation facility in the sea area. During the Second World War, the lighthouse was occupied by the Japanese army and destroyed in 1944. In the 36th year of the Republic of China, the customs sent technicians Shi duanchang and others to rebuild beiyushan. When Yushan island was liberated on February 13, 1955, the lighthouse was also destroyed. Today, the island is still left with the fortifications of the Kuomintang troops at that time, the ruins of the bandit leader he zhuoquan occupying the island, and the heroic story of the people's soldiers cooperating with the suppression of bandits and consolidating national defense.

Standing in the lighthouse overlooking the cathead ocean, white sails dot the sea, fishing boats shuttle; sunny weather, fishing by the sea, picking up shellfish, full of fun. But when the sun goes down, the silver plate is surrounded by stars in the sky, the light of the tower twinkles, the fishing fire dots, and the sea breeze comes. There is no analogy.

When you watch the sunrise on Yushan Island, you have to get up at four o'clock in the morning because it's very early there. Standing on the top of the island, looking to the East with extreme eyes, the scene of the vast sea and sky changing at sunrise will be very exciting!

Main attractions

Yushan Island

Another famous spot of Yushan island is Xianren bridge. When you walk on the island, it is a "bridge". When you look at it from the sea, it is a huge "door hole", which is about 20 meters high and 30 meters wide. Originally, it should be a cliff overhanging rock near the sea. Nature created it, and nature kept carving it. Finally, a rock of about 200 square meters on the top of the cliff collapsed. The collapsed rock was dragged by the waves, and it was left behind A suspended stone beam in the air! "Xianren bridge" stands on the empty horizontal frame above the surging waves. When you look down on the bridge, you suddenly feel the wind coming from all sides. You can feel the waves rolling like thunder. You can also feel the "bridge" trembling and bumping under you. You have the feeling that you will overturn the hundred Zhang Valley in an instant. Few tourists walk across the "immortal bridge" to the opposite side. This is another suspense left by Yushan to tourists.

Wuhu reef

Wuhu reef, located in the east of beiyushan Island, is the baseline reef of China's territorial sea. As a matter of fact, the Wuhu Reef from this island (beiyushan Island) is composed of eight islands and reefs of different sizes from the south to the north, just because it is beyond the sight. The five tiger reefs that visitors see on Lidao are Fuhu reefs (including Zihu reefs), Jianhu reefs, Gaohu reefs (islands), Pinghu reefs and tiger dung reefs. The "five tigers" in the ups and downs of the turbulent waves show its vigor.
