Zhuhai

Experiential journeys will make you a storyteller
About Zhuhai

Zhuhai is a modern city of China’s southern Guangdong province. Sharing its border with Macau, Zhuhai is close enough to Macau to go on a day tour without having to undergo maniacal driving.  Transformed to being one of the first Special Economic Zones of China in the year 1980, today the city is majorly known for its golf resorts, islands off the Pearl River Delta and theme parks. It is neither too sunny nor too frosty, making it an ideal Chinese gateway for a holiday or vacation, especially during the summer when the seas are glistening and calm. With prominent shopping areas like malls of Jingshan Road and the Pedestrianized Lianhua Road that sell duty-free goods, the city has enough things to do to keep you entertained and engaged. Yet It remains lax and laid back and what really helps it shine is its natural beauty of parks, gardens and a comparatively attractive and cleaner port.
