    The fort was built in 1622 and expanded in 1637. It was built in the green year: it is named after the highest east Wangyang Mountain on the Macau Peninsula, also known as the Guia Fort. The Chinese call Songshan Fort, which has sentries, gunpowder warehouses, towers and so on. This is a long-term military restricted area, until 1976, the Portuguese army scattered Macau, the fort opened to become a tourist attraction. The Holy Virgin Snow Temple in the fort was built in 1622. The church worshipped the Portuguese "Snow Virgin". In 1996, the government repaired the church. During the construction, a wall child retrieval with Chinese painting techniques to express biblical stories and characters was found. The whole picture shows the integration of Chinese and Western culture and art. The East View Lighthouse was built in 1865 and is the earliest modern lighthouse in the Far East. In 1874, it was damaged by storm. It was rebuilt on June 29, 1910 and has been re-opened to the present day.

    The fortress was built between 1622 and 1638. Inside the fortress stands Guia Chapel, originally established by Clarist nuns, who resided at the site before establishing the Convent of St. Clare.

    Globalization began not 40 years ago, but 400 years ago; the earliest maritime silk road began in the era of ocean development. For sailing, various lighthouses appeared around the world. The light of the lighthouse also illuminates the direction of the west and east, and the Portuguese are the first Western envoys to explore the eastern world. In the series of "Lighthouses on the Silk Road", I will take you to see the various shapes of the lighthouses from all over the world. Let's start with the Macau East View Lighthouse next to me.
