Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse and the former lightkeeper's house, located on Tang Lung Chau, was declared a monument on 29 December 2000.[4]

The lighthouse, also commonly known as Kap Sing Lighthouse, was put into service on 29 April 1912; it is one of the five surviving pre-war lighthouses in Hong Kong. It is a skeletal steel tower of 11.8 metres (39 ft) high with a white lantern on top. The steel tower and light apparatus were obtained from England. The lighthouse, unmanned and automated, is now under the management of the Marine Department.[5]

There is a bedroom, a kitchen, a latrine and a store room in the adjoining brick light keeper's house.[5] There was no spring or fresh water supply on the island so the light keeper of Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse used rainwater which was collected from the roof and then diverted into an underground tank.[5]
