Why does the lighthouse symbolize hope?
Lighthouse is a tower-shaped luminous beacon built near the key part of the waterway, and it is a fixed beacon. Its basic function is to guide ships to sail or indicate dangerous areas (often used to mark dangerous coasts, dangerous sandbanks or reefs and navigation channels leading to harbors).
With the rapid development of science and technology, and the establishment of integrated navigation systems such as radar transponder, DGPS system and AIS automatic ship identification system, the navigation function of lighthouse is weakening and its navigation value is decreasing. However, it has potential historical and cultural value and has become a human geographical coordinate sought after by all countries.
Extended data
During the period of 1997, the World Navigation Association selected 100 lighthouses named as World Historic Sites Lighthouses, among which five lighthouses were selected, including Qingpu Pagoda in China, Jiang Xinyu Twin Towers in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, Huaniao Mountain Lighthouse in Shengsi, Liaoning, Laotieshan Lighthouse in Dalian and Lingao Lighthouse in Hainan. In 2002, the State Post Bureau issued special commemorative stamps for these five lighthouses.
Pigeon Point Lighthouse is located on the edge of a cliff in California, with a height of 1 15 feet. It is one of the tallest lighthouses in America. Every year 1 1 month, many photographers come to visit. In order to take a photo of the lighthouse lit by Fresnel lens, its brightness can reach 500,000 Candeira. This opportunity comes only once a year.
