From Declared Monuments in Hong Kong - Outlying Islands
Situated on Tang Lung Chau (originally known as Kap Sing Island), a small island to the west of Hong Kong and south of Ma Wan in Kap Shui Mun, Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse is one of the few surviving pre-war lighthouses in Hong Kong.
The Lyemun Beacon is situated on a submerged rock off Yau Tong, near Lei Yue Mun. (This is NOT the pair of beacons, 88 and 89, on the opposite sides of the Lei Yue Mun Pass)
The Lyemun Beacon was first installed in 01.01.1902 as a lit marker with a red globe topmark. Soon it ceased to be lit at around 1913. In 1951 it was repainted black and white chequered and lost its topmark and in 1955 it was reconstructed. (Stephen Davies)
The 1923 and 1962 nautical charts of the HK approaches shows that a pair of beacons were located on Bluff head. The same chart shows a pair of beacons are located on Ngan Chau, also on Magazine Island and the north side of Aberdeen harbour.
The beacons on Bluff Head and Ngan Chau are shown on a 1896 map, though the exact year of construction is unclear.
The 1925 Asiatic Pilot gives this information.
Beacons.—Two obelisks, each 30 feet (9.1 m.) high, have been erected toward the head of Taitam Bay and in range 358° lead 600 yards westward of Castle Rock.
There was a large beacon on Cust Rock (part of a very awkward cluster including Rumsey Rocks between TST and Hung Hom). The danger was marked with a buoy in 1909, but in 1929 a fixed beacon was erected on top, not far in front of the Signal Hill (Blackhead Pt) light that had been lit in 1909. Once the Cust Rock Beacon had been lit, someone worked out that money could be saved by having only one light, not two, so in 1933 TST light was extinguished and the Cust Rock Beacon upgraded (Fl. 4s 25' 10M - i.e.
Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse is a historic monument.
Hello folk, The Adamastor Rock, if without any man-made structure on it, is slightly below the sea level. It is quite visible through the shallow water during sunny day when you are close enough to it. It can stir up white ocean waves during tide times. A lamp beacon stand of concrete about 3 or 4 m tall has been built to alert the shipping traffic. The location is about 500 m east of the loose rocks at the east-end of the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula and about 900 m north of the nearest coast of Cheung Chau. By the way, this waterway along the south Lantau is called as the Adamastor Channel.
