Zhuhai is a modern city in China’s southern Guangdong province, on the border with Macau. Transformed into one of China’s first Special Economic Zones in 1980, today the city is known for golf resorts, theme parks and islands off the Pearl River Delta. Pedestrianized Lianhua Road and the malls of Jingshan Road are popular shopping areas selling duty-free goods.

Dubbed the Chinese Riviera, Zhuhai’s coast includes Golden Beach and the many inlets and quiet coves of Shangchuan Island. Hebao Island also features secluded stretches of sand, such as South Bay Beach. There are live dance and song performances at the New Yuan Ming Palace, a 1997 replica of Beijing's Qing dynasty Old Summer Palace, with classical Chinese gardens. The Fisher Girl Statue is an 9-meter-tall granite sculpture sprouting from a rock in Xianglu Bay. Buddhist pilgrimage site Jintai Temple was established in the late Song Dynasty.
