Is there a lighthouse in China that needs guarding?

Lighthouses are navigation facilities. In ancient ships, the role of lighthouse was to illuminate the dangerous area on the waterway, thus guiding other ships to avoid the dangerous area. In modern times, the main purpose of the lighthouse is still to illuminate the dangerous area on the waterway, but there is no need for someone to be on duty.

At present, lighthouses in China's coastal areas are usually controlled by automation equipment. Through the satellite positioning system (GPS) and radio equipment, the lighthouse can automatically adjust the angle and brightness, and provide navigation information for passing ships. In addition, some lighthouses also have an alarm function, which can warn passing ships and remind them of the dangerous areas on the waterway.

Therefore, in China, the lighthouse does not need to be attended, and it needs regular maintenance and inspection to ensure the normal operation of the lighthouse.
