Guia
Guia Hill is the highest point on the Macau Peninsula, crowned by a 17th-century fortress, a chapel with rare frescoes blending Chinese and Western motifs, and a 19th-century lighthouse considered the oldest on the China coast. The summit's park and 360-degree views over the city, Taipa and Coloane, and on clear days toward Zhuhai, make it one of Macau's most atmospheric vantage points.
