One of China’s special economic zones (SEZ) and the mainlands gateway to Macau Zhuhai would have to be one of China’s best kept secrets. In less than 20 years Zhuhai has grown from nothing more than a sleepy fishing port in the western region of the Pearl River Delta into a well groomed city of substance.

The Beach on Qi´ao Island GUNNARF11 | Sep 1, 2011 08:26
My favorite beach in Zhuhai is located on the island Qi'ao. In and around the island are many fish farms and even many good fish restaurants. If you come from Zhuhai city is the island before Tangjiawan and if you come from Guangzhou pass University Zhongshan Dà Xué. From either direction can be seen the 1486 meters long Qi'ao Zhuhai Bridge. Around the bridge fished much crab. When it is very hot, it is cooler under the bridge and where it can be study of fishing at close range. Will you cross the bridge in to the island are my favorite beach in on a minor road, which also Zhuhai International School is located. It passes the school and will go to the beach with very soft, fine sand. When I go to the beach, I am almost entirely alone. In China closes the outdoor pools that do not have temperate waters, and they say it is winter time. I have bathed there on Christmas Eve in December and it has still been about 20 degrees C in the water and not cold. Personally, I think it is perfectly possible to swim year round in southern China. However, I thought it was terribly cold indoors when the indoor temperature went down to 15 degrees, then I had purchased several electric elements to maintain 20 degrees indoors when the outdoor temperature crept towards 10-12 degrees. Then I replace the air-conditioning to the combination heat pump / cooling unit. Then became an indoor temperature of 20 degrees. Back to the favorite beach. In the trees behind the beach is such a great fish restaurants and many are the guests who travel far to eat there. Recommended.
For first time travelers in china GLADIATOR | Feb 17, 2010 05:44
A few quick tips if you are coming to china first time and coming to zhuhai specifically, 1) Make sure you have your Visa . i have seen people often jumping in to plane thinking they need no visa. Check this china govt website for visa info (http://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/ljzg/3647/3648/)
2)You can reach zhuhai through 1) Macau , where there are three border points. In case you need more details drop me a message. 2) Honkong, directly from HK airport via the ferry in which case you dont need to cross HK immigration . The other is to go to HK-Macau ferry terminal in island or HK- China ferry terminal and take a ferry from there . It will take you about 1 hour.
3)In case you dont know mandarin or cantonese, i suggest you carry chinese address copies of the place you have to go when you enter china. You can show it to any taxi driver in china and normally they know the place. Taxi's are not expensive but try not to take private taxis's. The taxis in zhuhai are normally in green or blue colour.
4)for adventurous men a piece of advise is that please donot venture out to nightclubs alone and get into argument with locals. Though normally people are very friendly to foreigners here you can cause serious harm to you if you think you are a cowboy in texas.
If you need any further info , do drop me a message.
