Located in southern China's Guangdong province, this coastal city has modern skyscrapers alongside traditional temples. Parks and gardens dot the urban landscape, while local markets fill the old town streets.
Zhuhai sits on China's southern coast in Guangdong Province, connected to Hong Kong and Macau by the world's longest sea crossing bridge. The city stretches along 168 kilometers of coastline, where you can walk past the iconic Fisher Girl Statue holding her pearl skyward, or spend a day watching beluga whales at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom. Beyond the mainland, several islands dot the waters, and every two years, the skies fill with aircraft during China's largest aviation exhibition.
Getting to Zhuhai
You can cross the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge in 45 minutes. Jinwan Airport connects to most major Chinese cities, except Xining and Lhasa. Two ports serve the city: Jiuzhou Port handles passenger ferries, while Gaolan Port manages cargo ships. To move around Zhuhai, you can take public buses or taxis - note that the tram service ended in 2021.
Climate and Environment
Winter temperatures can drop to 10°C (50°F), while summers reach 32°C (90°F). The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences ranked Zhuhai as China's most livable city, citing its low pollution levels and frequent sunny days. You can visit year-round, though prepare for occasional cold spells in winter.
Main Landmarks
The Fisher Girl Statue rises from a boulder at Xianglu Bay, her bronze form lifting a pearl and fishnet toward the sky. At the New Yuan Ming Palace, you can walk through 1.39 square kilometers of gardens and past an 80,000-square-meter lake, exploring this partial recreation of Beijing's Old Summer Palace. In Doumen district, Jintai Temple's 1990s buildings follow Ming and Qing dynasty architectural patterns, with upturned eaves and wooden beam construction.
Chimelong Ocean Kingdom
The Whale Shark Aquarium holds five Guinness World Records as the world's largest aquarium. You can watch whale sharks, beluga whales, and other marine species swim past the viewing windows. The park includes roller coasters, water rides, and daily shows featuring marine mammals.
Manufacturing and Economy
Zhuhai's factories produce 70% of the world's ribbons, 60% of aftermarket inkjet cartridges, and 20% of third-party laser toner cartridges. The city's deep-water ports and location near Hong Kong and Macau support its role as a manufacturing center.
