Guia Fortress and Lighthouse

Rising 94 meters above sea level, Guia Hill (Guia Shan, Monte da Guia) is not merely the highest point in the southern part of the Macau Peninsula. It is a place of power whose history began long before the arrival of the Portuguese. In ancient Chinese navigation, this cliff served as a natural lighthouse—its silhouette was a crucial landmark for sailors entering the Pearl River Delta.
