Zhuhai 珠海

Garden coast and island gateway

One of China's most liveable seaside cities, Zhuhai pairs palm-lined coastal roads and offshore islands with a relaxed pace — and sits right beside Macau across a short border.

History & culture

Made a Special Economic Zone in 1980, Zhuhai chose green, low-density development over heavy industry, earning a reputation as a 'garden city' and, more recently, a hub of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau mega-bridge.

What to see & do

  • The Lovers' Road coastal promenade and Fisher Girl statue
  • Boat trip to the Wailingding or Dong'ao islands
  • Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge viewpoints
  • Yuanming New Park
  • Easy border crossing to Macau

What to eat

  • Fresh seafood and oyster dishes
  • Cantonese seafood congee
  • Macau-influenced egg tarts nearby

Getting there

Zhuhai Jinwan Airport and the Guangzhou–Zhuhai intercity rail serve the city; the Macau border and the mega-bridge are right here.

Avoid the pitfalls

  • Island ferries depend on weather — check schedules and book ahead in summer.
  • For Macau, confirm your visa/entry situation before crossing.
  • It's calm and scenic rather than packed with sights — pair it with Macau or islands.
