Guia Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Guia Hill, Macau

The lighthouse includes a cylindrical tower rising 13.5 meters high with a white exterior decorated by red bands and a red lantern roof.

Built between 1864 and 1865, this structure marked a milestone as the first western-style lighthouse constructed in the Far East region.

The lighthouse forms part of the Guia Fortress complex, which represents the Portuguese architectural influence in Macau's maritime navigation history.

Visitors can access the lighthouse by climbing Guia Hill, which reaches an elevation of 91.4 meters above sea level.

The lighthouse beam extends up to 20 nautical miles across the sea during clear weather conditions, guiding vessels into Macau's harbor.
