Green Island Lighthouse 青洲燈塔 : Spring morning . . .
Green Island Lighthouse is located on a small island off the northwest coast of Kennedy Town, Hong Kong Island, separated by the Sulphur Channel. Green Island is very small (about 10 hectares) and largely uninhabited. The lighthouse is still operational.
The buildings of the Green Island Lighthouse Compound were declared as monuments, In 2008. The historic buildings include the two lighthouses built in 1875 and 1905 and the European quarters of the lighthouse compound. These three buildings are individually Grade II historic buildings.
The first lighthouse, 12 metres (39 ft) tall and constructed of granite, began operation on 1 July 1875. There are two cross-shaped openings on its wall for ventilation and lighting. The openings resemble gun-posts like those found in medieval European castles. These are of the same construction as those found on the Cape Collinson Lighthouse at Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island. It was later disused in 1905 because the building was too small to carry the lens from the Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse.
Construction began on a second lighthouse in 1904, completed in 1905, which was originally intended to house the Cape D’Aguilar light. Built of granite and concrete, sitting beside its predecessor, the newer lighthouse is 17.5 metres (57 ft) tall, painted white, with a steel-caged lantern on top. A concrete spiral staircase with rails gives access to the lantern room. An upper floor was added to the keeper's house in 1923 and the lighthouse was automated in the 1970s. The two lighthouses, along with Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse, Waglan Island Lighthouse and Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse (Kap Sing Lighthouse) are the only prewar lighthouses remaining.

青洲燈塔（Green Island Lighthouse）是香港一組燈塔，位於香港島西北方的青洲，其兩座燈塔、歐籍職員宿舍及前看守員房舍已於2008年11月7日列為法定古蹟。
青洲燈塔的首座燈塔在1875年7月1日啟用，為進入維多利亞港西部的船隻導航，是香港第二座燈塔（首座為鶴咀燈塔。
1893年，港督卜力提出把已停用的鶴咀燈塔訊號燈搬到青洲燈塔使用，便在舊燈塔旁建了一座較大的新燈塔，以容納鶴咀的訊號燈。新燈塔於1904年動工，並於翌年投入運作。新燈塔高17.5米，並與舊燈塔並列，一直未有拆卸。
燈塔旁設一幢歐籍職員宿舍及紅磚屋。1970年，燈塔裝置了全面自動化設施，至今仍在運作。
