Macau Peninsula, Macau, SAR Of China (Part 6 of 6)

We visit the tourist attractions Guia Fortress. The fortress was built between 1622 and 1638. Inside the fortress stands Guia Chapel. Guia Lighthouse, dating from 1865, which also stands within the perimeter, is the first modern lighthouse on the Chinese coast. Guia Fortress, along with the chapel and lighthouse are symbols of Macau's maritime, military and missionary past.






Next we visit Macau Fisherman’s Wharf which is not purely a theme park, but also combines dining, shopping, entertainment, accommodation, convention and exhibition facilities in one single location which takes just a 5-minute walk from the Macau-HK Ferry Terminal and Heliport.













Macau Science Center is near to Macau Fisherman's Wharf. We take the opportunity to take some shots of it from Hard Rock Hotel at Macau Fisherman's Wharf.

Our schedules are rather pack, we give both Kun Iam statue and Macau Tower a miss, since we pass by them and manage to take photos of them. Understand that from the research, Kun Iam statue is dedicated to Goddess of Mercy, is 20 meters tall and made of special bronze. The dome shape base like a lotus flower, is an ecumenical centre where information is available on Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
