Chapel of Our Lady of Penha

The Mount Bishop Chapel, also known as the Chapel of Our Lady of the Cliff, is located on Mount Guia, one of the highest points of the Macau Peninsula. It is a small chapel for praying to the patron saint of sailors. The Mount Bishop Chapel was originally used for Portuguese soldiers to hold mass prayers. Later, it was expanded. The church is dominated by a towering gatehouse, with a statue of the Virgin Mary on the triangular roof, a bell tower on the right, and a wide platform in front of the church with a marble statue of the Virgin Mary.

There is a wide platform in front of the church. At the end of the platform stands a marble statue of the Virgin Mary, with her hands folded, looking very kind, facing the sea. There is a Lutheran Grotto under the platform. Go down the stone steps on both sides to reach the front of the cave. The cave is rocky, with an arch in the middle and a statue of the Virgin Mary inside, symbolizing the scene of the Virgin Mary appearing in public in the ancient city of Luther, France.

Bishop's Hill Church, also known as Wangyangshan Church, has a statue of Our Lady on the top of the mountain, adding to its solemnity and solemnity. It is said that it was built in the early 17th century to pray for sea voyagers, and the existing building was rebuilt in the early 20th century. Nowadays, Macau's coastline continues to expand, and the place facing the church has become Sai Van Lake. This is an excellent climbing landscape with unobstructed views of the three Macau cross-sea bridges and the Macau Tower opposite.

This is a probably forgotten attraction. I only found it after I saw this building on the Macau Tower last time. Two months later, I came to Macau again and came to visit this attraction today. This is a monastery with a history of more than 500 years. The building on the left side of the church was added in the 1930s and is a dormitory for nuns. There are activities every day in the Bishop Hill Church, and the nuns pray here every day. You can see the Macau Tower and half of Macau here.

Finally, we climbed up Mount Guia on a sunny day. The Mount Bishop Chapel here is definitely one of the must-see spots for wedding photos in Macau. On this afternoon with no tourists and in the hot sun, there were actually three couples taking photos here. The mountain road here is very steep. It is recommended to drive or take a bus. If you want to walk, you must wear suitable sports shoes. The platform on the first floor is a particularly good angle to take photos of the tourist tower. Any reference object you choose will turn out beautiful. The breeze from Nam Van Lake is blowing. This summer is really... hot.

The Church of Bishop Hill (also known as the Church of Bishop Hill, the Church of Notre Dame on the Cliffs, the Church of Pina and the Church of Notre Dame on the West), formerly known as the Penha Church, was built in 1622 in Portuguese for the mountain rock on the seaside. The church was renovated many times, and in 1935 it was rebuilt with the bishop's private residence to its present size. The building has the spire of the Gothic church, reflecting the classical eclecticism style. Western View Church and Bishop's Private House are listed in "Macau Heritage List" because they are rated as buildings of architectural artistic value. It is known that the original position of the Church was Xiwangyangshan Fort, built in 1622, which is a place that can be attacked and defended by soldiers to defend against the invasion of the Netherlands. The construction of Xiaowengtang was due to the fact that the Portuguese navigators met the Dutch pirate ships but were not injured, so they fulfilled their promises of building the Tang, commonly known as vows. Therefore, the Notre Dame church dedicated to the Virgin Mary was built near the fort, initially for the Portuguese soldiers stationed in the fort to pray and participate in mass. After 1892, after the turret was demolished, the church was gradually expanded and built many times. In 1935, it was planned by the bishop of the Catholic Macau diocese to rebuild the church with the bishop's private residence on the current scale. There is a way that the predecessors planted trees and later generations enjoy the cool. Now it can be said that it is a good place for couples to take wedding dresses and travel.
