Directions.Approach Naozhou Dao from the E, keeping Doulong Cun (20°56'N., 110°38'E.) Range Lights, in line bearing 276°45', and passing N of Lighted Buoy No. 1, alter course to head for Longshui Ling Range Lights, in line 303°45'. If the range lights are unrecognizable, then steer for Longshui Ling summit bearing 299°; however, a W set towards Naozhou Dao is usually encountered on this leg. The dark summit fronted by light sand is unmistakable, and sometimes appears to rise from the clouds. A vessel choosing First Pilot Anchorage Area should use the N section of the anchorage area during the Northeast Monsoon, and the W section when anchoring with a flood tide.
