The Guia Lighthouse, located at the top of Guia Hill on the Macao Peninsula, is the oldest modern lighthouse along the coast of China and serves as the geographic coordinates of Macao on world map. The lighthouse not only guides navigation but also symbolizes hope and enlightenment, playing an important role in technology, communication, and maritime transportation. To celebrate the International Museum Day 2025, this contest encourages participants to use the Guia Lighthouse as a creative muse, combining storytelling and handicraft to create unique works.
