Beacon - North Fat Tong (北佛堂墩臺) Tin Ha Shan (田下山) [????- ]

The location is approximate.  I will update the marker once I have visited it myself later, probably in May.  According to JW and other fellow hikers the trigonomatrical station was built right on top of the beacon, covering most of it.  Photos could be see under this link.

Beacon - Dameisha 大梅沙墩臺 or Yantian 鹽田墩臺﹐ Shenzhen [????- ]

In reference to this blog entry, with GPS coordinates provided by blogger and appeared to be taken by experts.  They had not determined if it is Yantian 鹽田 or Dameisha 大梅沙 Beacon though,

I had been to the beach of Dameisha, on the way to Da Peng Walled City back in the 1980's, but I was not aware of such a beacon back then.

Hi there,

Please also allow to err here as the ruins of the beacon could no longer be seen since the construction of the two radar/communication stations.

Best Regards,

Beacon - Tai Po Tau 大步頭墩台 (according to 新安縣誌), early Qing. [????- ]

Location is just a speculation.  It is based upon a present day village called Ying Pun Ha (營盤下)。Ying Pun (營盤) means a military camp and Ha (下) means under/below.  The name of the village literally means "the village below the military camp' in English.  If the beacon was there it would be somewhere along the ridge.
