Hi there,

The location is approximate, using this photo and the information provided by  CEDD for cross reference.

In reference to this blog entry, with GPS coordinates provided by blogger and appeared to be taken by experts.  They had not determined if it is Yantian 鹽田 or Dameisha 大梅沙 Beacon though,

I had been to the beach of Dameisha, on the way to Da Peng Walled City back in the 1980's, but I was not aware of such a beacon back then.

This is also being marked on Google Maps, as Gupaotai (古砲臺)。  However I am uncertain if the Google marker is corract.  Might have to go there to take a look myself later.

This actually is marked on Google Maps, as Yaopaotai.  Uncertain if the market is correct.  However just read a travel post and the writer mentioned the right battery was demolished back in 1982 when they built the harbour there.  Only the left battery was preserved.   Both completion & demolition dates are only likely to be accurate to the year.  No month and date could be verified.

Hi there,

Hi there,

Please also allow to err here as the ruins of the beacon could no longer be seen since the construction of the two radar/communication stations.

Hi there,

I don't know where the marker belongs for this one.

Location is just a speculation.  It is based upon a present day village called Ying Pun Ha (營盤下)。Ying Pun (營盤) means a military camp and Ha (下) means under/below.  The name of the village literally means "the village below the military camp' in English.  If the beacon was there it would be somewhere along the ridge.
