Barrier Gate (Portas do Cerco)
Situated at the northern most point of Macau, the stone gate that traditionally marked the border with China is now maintained in a small park. It was erected in 1870 and is inscribed with a quotation from Camoes: 'Honour your country for your country is watching you", Today's travellers use the modern buildings on either side, which house immigration, customs and tourist information offices. The border is open from 7am to midnight.
Guia Fortress, Chapel & Lighthouse
A small chapel was first built in the 17th century as part of the Guia Fortress and the present chapel dates from 1637. During the restoration of the chapel in 1996, the oldest vestige of mural paintings that dates back to the construction of the hermitage in 1622 were discovered. The recovered paintings are characterized by rich cultural meaning, a combination of Chinese and Western symbols, including angels wearing traditional oriental costumes.
The Lighthouse was the first on the China Coast, built by a local born Portuguese, Carlos Vicente da Rocha.
Below Guia Hill is the Flora Garden, which can be reached by steps or a cable car that takes visitors to street level in just 80 seconds.
