Lighthouse — in this subcategory, we have gathered all the most beautiful and famous lighthouses of Vietnam. It is well known that the country has a huge coastline of 3,444 km. This means that water transport has been very actively used here for many centuries. To ensure the safety of vessel navigation, tall lighthouses were installed, featuring spotlights at the top with a light beam range of over 30 km.
Thus, during the dark hours of the day, ships are warned of approaching land well in advance and can plot their course in the best possible way for safer navigation along the coast. During the colonial period, the French actively built lighthouses, which is why European architecture prevails.
In this subcategory, you will find the oldest and tallest lighthouse in Vietnam — the Kê Gà Lighthouse, located 40 km from the city of Phan Thiết. By the way, its spotlight beam length is over 40 km. Interestingly, the materials for building the lighthouse were brought directly from France. In addition to Kê Gà, the country has several other remarkable lighthouses, information about which you will find in this subcategory.
