Macau 澳門小游
chin:
At the time of the visit, the fortress was under renovation. I wasn't not very sure if it was open, but went in anyway.
Right inside the doorway were a bunch of typhoon signals to be hoist on the hill when typhoon approaches.
chin:
Some random pictures taken inside the fortress.
All the lamps have the anchor design, perhaps reflection of the Portuguese naval prowess at the time? In the background is a real anchor.
The bell was one of the few featured historic artifacts.
chin:
In the fortress is a small chapel, perhaps with restoration works going on then.
chin:
More random pictures before we moving on to the historic lighthouse.
chin:
According to the brochure, built in 1865, this lighthouse was the first western style lighthouse on the China coast, and marked the exactly location of Macau's coordinates.
The large padlock says something like "Her Majesties Lever Patent", could it be also a historic artifact?
The last picture is a view of the doorway to the lighthouse, with lotus-shaped Grand Lisboa in the background.
