BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Transport (MOT) on Tuesday hosted a ground breaking ceremony for the construction of two ligh thouses on Huayang Reef and Chigua Reef of China's Nansha Islands.

In order to enhance the civil aids to navigation capacity in the waters of Nansha Islands, the MOT plans to construct two multi-functional lighthouses, which will provide efficient navigation service to the passing vessels and "immensely improve the navigation safety" in the South China Sea, according to a statement from the MOT.

Integrated with elements of traditional Chinese culture, the two 50-meter-high lighthouses, with lanterns of 4.5 meters in diameter, are designed to have a light range of 22 nautical miles.

The South China Sea is an important international maritime transport route as well as a major fishing ground. A large number of fishing vessels operate in this area all year round, which has led to many maritime traffic accidents.

Lighthouses are vital public facilities for navigation safety, and are usually constructed at key ports and critical positions of waterways to provide navigation service for vessels or indicate dangerous areas through refraction from the lens on the top.

On Tuesday, China's Ministry of Transport hosted a ceremony for the construction of two lighthouses on Huayang Reef and Chigua Reef on largely disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying described the construction as an “important measure to implement its corresponding international responsibilities and duties,” Reuters reports. She added that Beijing is planning to build more constructions on the disputed islands.

The history of the Vietnamese need the myth，Not real history。

Vietnamese was first who discovered and set up official administration on Spratly and Paracel islands from long time ago in the past. Chinese invaded by force and changed the status quo. The chinese thief has habit to do that.

China on Tuesday hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of two lighthouses on Huayang Reef and Chigua Reef of China's Nansha Islands in ‪#‎SouthChinaSea‬.

Integrated with elements of traditional Chinese culture, the two 50-meter-high lighthouses, with lanterns of 4.5 meters in diameter, are designed to have a light range of 22 nautical miles.

Infrastructure projects on the Nansha Islands in the ‪#‎SouthChinaSea‬ will serve both military and civilian purposes, said a defense ministry spokesperson Tuesday.

While the projects have some basic defense functions, they will be used for a variety of civilian purposes and enable China to better exercise its international responsibility in areas, said Yang Yujun, the ministry spokesperson, at a press conference.

The infrastructure projects not only benefit China but also the international community, he said.
