Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse

　　Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse, also known as Ki Sing Lighthouse, is a lighthouse in Hong Kong located on Tang Lung Chau in Tsuen Wan District, New Territories, situated within the shipping channel of Kap Shui Mun. It has now been designated as a declared monument of Hong Kong. The lighthouse was commissioned on April 29, 1912, and was initially operated manually with a lighthouse keeper stationed there. Around the 1980s, the lighthouse was automated and is now managed by the Marine Department. On December 29, 2000, the Antiquities and Monuments Office under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department declared Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse a declared monument of Hong Kong, alongside the nearby Kap Shui Mun Lighthouse.

　　Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse is one of the five surviving pre-war lighthouses in Hong Kong. The lighthouse features a steel frame structure, stands 11.8 metres tall, and has a white top. Its lighting equipment and steel framework were both manufactured in the United Kingdom. Adjacent to the lighthouse is a brick building that once served as the residence for the lighthouse keeper. This building includes bedrooms, a kitchen, a toilet, and storage rooms. Drinking water was supplied by rainwater collected from the roof and stored in an underground tank.
