Years later the lighthouse underwent renovation led by Maritime and Port Bureau, and was officially opened to tourists on 27 September 2014. It is managed by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.[3]
Built with steel-reinforced concrete, the lighthouse stands at a height of 34m (112feet).
