Located in the [wiki=ad727c43552144189f2f2b5a3293cad7]Pearl River Delta[/wiki], Zhuhai borders [wiki=ae0f6ff2b1bd459cff7adb221f2671fd]Jiangmen[/wiki] to the northwest, [wiki=b148c2a7ebb52534f770fb72433f0d82]Zhongshan[/wiki] to the north, and former Portuguese colony [wiki=9d6c9d893aa285a736aeabb2b66b316f]Macau[/wiki] to the south. By sea, former British colony [wiki=8b476ff778119b8d49588f3daadf69a1]Hong Kong[/wiki] and [wiki=8f3199f4c051d7e2597afb0b55b23dee]Shenzhen[/wiki] are just across the bay to the east. The provincial capital [wiki=50a13d0dbb195487a4b6c602ea0fe532]Guangzhou[/wiki] is about 150 km to the north.
The Zhuhai area has been inhabited for thousands of years. Until the 1970s, Zhuhai was a group of fishing villages with a population of around 100,000. Since 1980, when it was designated a Special Economic Zone by the central government, Zhuhai has expanded to include nearby areas and is now a fast-growing modern city with well over a million inhabitants. However, it is still not as large and developed as neighboring cities like [wiki=8f3199f4c051d7e2597afb0b55b23dee]Shenzhen[/wiki] and [wiki=50a13d0dbb195487a4b6c602ea0fe532]Guangzhou[/wiki]. Zhuhai's northern districts of Jinding and Tangjia, as well as the western district of Doumen, are less developed factory-driven areas that retain a deeper working-man, salt-of-the-earth quality.
Zhuhai is one of China's cleanest and prettiest cities, and received numerous accolades for its excellent ecological development efforts. In 1998, it was awarded the International Award for Best Practices in Improving Living Environment by the United Nations Center for Human Settlements. It is also commonly agreed to be one of the best cities in China to retire in. With a low population density compared to other larger cities in China, Zhuhai is unsurprisingly greener. Parks and open spaces dot the cityscape, and waving palm trees line the extensive coastline and many of the major streets.
The weather in Zhuhai is sub-tropical. Temperature varies between 10C/50F degrees in winter (Dec to Feb) to a hot and humid 35C/95F degrees in summer (Jun to Sep). Typhoons are also a possibility in summer. The best times to visit are during spring and fall.

The city of Zhuhai itself is composed of Gongbei, Jida and Xiangzhou. The other areas mentioned are districts within the Zhuhai Special Economic Zone.
North to South along the coast, the main districts are:
* Jinding (金鼎; Jīndǐng) - Zhuhai's northernmost district is a factory town whose main attraction is a very large and lively nighttime outdoor BBQ; see the [wiki=ab5dbb8b2b22ab89d74d4a290b12ba0b]#Eat|Eat[/wiki] Section for details. Jinding definitely has a working class edge, and is worth visiting for the BBQ alone, but wandering around may give you a different perspective to the ones you have previously experienced elsewhere in Guangdong Province. Visit Jinding to experience the real China before heading back to your more affluent Guangdong stomping grounds. Jinding can be reached via bus 3 or 10, or via sightseeing bus 2.
* Tangjiawan (唐家湾; Tángjiāwān) - Tangjia is moderate sized town located between Jinding and Xiangzhou. Like Jinding, Tangjia's salt-of-the-earth qualities are more evident than its southern neighbors. Best known for the large Dragon Union Opera House which, as the name suggests, puts on live variety shows semi-regularly, its primary function is serving as a gigantic karaoke house that mixes karaoke with all-inclusive adult entertainment.
* Xiangzhou (香洲; Xiāngzhōu) - Government offices, big department stores (including Jusco), and some bars and restaurants are scattered throughout this district. This is the area where the locals mainly go shopping.
* Jida (吉大; Jídà) is along the coast between Xiangzhou and Gongbei. This district has a lot of offices, high-end hotels and shopping complexes. This is not a particularly useful district to mention for directions, except for the fact that a Jida location assures you that the location is fairly near to the water and that a taxi driver will likely take the road right along the coast until you get there.
* Gongbei (拱北; Gǒngběi) is the main tourist area with a wide variety of inexpensive hotels, clothing, electronics, souvenirs, food, drink, and colorful entertainment in relatively close proximity to the Macau border crossing. From Gongbei, the Macau border can be reached by a short walk on foot. Lianhua Lu (Lotus Road; 莲花路; Liánhuālù; sometimes called Walking Street; 步行街; Bùxíngjiē) while interesting any time of day, is truly a must-see spectacle at night, with dozens of small outdoor-bar stalls which are always packed at night. Here you can see people drinking, playing dice with bar girls, and watching (or interacting with) working girls and passers-by on the crowded pedestrian-only street that is filled with shops and street-food vendors (see the [wiki=472e70db9bbc149bb453a738174a1625]#Drink|Drink[/wiki] Section for more details). There is also the more upscale Bar Street (酒吧街; Jiǔbājiē), a modern strip of nicer upscale bars with indoor and outdoor seating, some featuring live music (many blasting loud music inside). Most of these cater to Chinese businessmen and moneyed tourists. At the southern edge of Gongbei is a underground shopping center and the Macau border crossing (see [wiki=8fe683e36de79c09f89f56dd002dda0e]#Buy|Buy[/wiki] Section for more details).
Going West from Gongbei are other districts:
* Wanzai (湾仔; Wānzǎi') has a 'ferry station to Macau and a Seafood Street where you get to select your own live seafood before they are prepared for your dining pleasure.
* Doumen (斗门; Dǒumén) is in the Southwest. It is a bit out of the way, in that most of Zhuhai spreads north along the coast. The Zhuhai airport is here. The very scenic Jintai Buddhist Temple, built at the end of the Song Dynasty is over 1,000 years old and is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Get the full treatment at the Imperial (Yu Wenquan) Hot Springs Resort in Doumen, the first Japanese outdoor garden-style hot springs resort in China, with over 20 kinds of hot springs.

Islands
One of Zhuhai's nicknames is the city of a hundred islands (146 to be exact), and it has a number of islands that are accessible from ports by ferries. An often overlooked aspect is the fact that each of the islands has a unique character. Some have decent beaches, and some are eerily quiet fishing islands. Each trip is a noticeable escape from the hustle and bustle of living in Chinese cities. A trip to the islands is arguably comparable to leaving the country. High-quality seafood abounds. Information about where to go or what to do can be difficult to come by because most locals do not visit due to cost of transportation. As a result, most tourists do not get a chance to explore these beautiful places at all, and most of the information available on the internet regarding Zhuhai focuses on the urban areas. Nonetheless, the curious expat or adventurous traveler will be generously rewarded. From the Xiangzhou Northern Wharf (香洲北堤码头; Xiāngzhōu Běidīmǎtóu), you can get to the Wanshan Islands (万山群岛; Wànshānqúndǎo):
* Dong'ao Island has diving facilities, clear waters, and a nice beach.
* Wailingding Island is also a nice getaway with clear waters and nice beaches.
* Hebao Island is less developed and visited, and is a good spot for those who like wilderness.
* Guishan Island has a sleepy fishing island town feel with exceptional seafood.
While not as distant and not part of the Wanshan Islands, Henquin Island, Qi'ao Island, and Gaolan Island can all be reached by bus via a bridge.
Remember to take plenty of cash with you on these island excursions because some islands do not have ATMs.

Most visitors to China will require an advance visa, which can be obtained in Hong Kong or Macau. See [wiki=ae54a5c026f31ada088992587d92cb3a#Visas]Visas[/wiki] for details.
If you are only visiting the Zhuhai area, three-day visas upon arrival are available at the border. Upon entering the Gongbei immigration building, after passing all the duty free shops, the visa office is behind a green door on the right hand side of the hall. Follow the stairs and you will find the office on the left. You need to complete a small white form, pay the fee and have your photograph taken with a webcam. The visa is then processed within minutes. This costs ¥160 for most nationalities, but Americans cannot use the service and Brits have to fork out ¥450 (December 2008). Hong Kong dollars are not accepted. Currency can be converted at the China Tourist Services office back downstairs in the main immigration hall, but usually at an awful rate. Once the visa has been issued, proceed to the immigration hall to complete the immigration process.
(january 2011: I applied for a SEZ visa. The price list did have USA as a nationality, the price being about ¥950)

By plane
Zhuhai Airport (IATA: ZUH) [url=http://www.zhairport.com].]This is a moderately sized, modern airport that connects the area with many Chinese cities, but not many international destinations. It is located west of downtown in Doumen District. Budget carrier Spring Airlines [url=http://tour.china-sss.com/[/url]]flies here daily from [[Shanghai[/url]].
The Airport Express Bus departs from the airport to Xiangzhen and Gongbei districts for ¥30 (November 2010) per passenger, and follows the schedule of arriving flights. The first bus departs around 11:00 AM and the last bus departs about 21:30. A taxi from the airport to Gongbei or Jiuzhou in downtown Zhuhai is around ¥130 (October 2011) when traffic is free flowing. You may also take public bus number 207, which goes right to the Gongbei border crossing, and costs ¥6. However the journey time is between 1 hour 45 mins and 2 hours. Note that this bus does not have a luggage storage area on board.
Zhuhai can also be easily reached by bus from the Guangzhou airport (see below).
To reach Zhuhai from outside China, one would usually fly to [wiki=8b476ff778119b8d49588f3daadf69a1]Hong Kong[/wiki], [wiki=9d6c9d893aa285a736aeabb2b66b316f]Macau[/wiki], [wiki=8f3199f4c051d7e2597afb0b55b23dee]Shenzhen[/wiki] or [wiki=50a13d0dbb195487a4b6c602ea0fe532]Guangzhou[/wiki]. All four cities have large, modern airports with many international connections and all are within an hour or two of Zhuhai; Macau is closest.
From the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (IATA: CAN) [url=http://www.baiyunairport.com],]a frequent express bus service that goes to Zhuhai is available. It costs ¥80 and takes approximately 2.5 hours with one stop in the northern part of Zhuhai before going on to the Gongbei border gate to Macau. There is a check in for the airport at Gongbei bus station, located near the KFC.
From the Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (IATA: SZX) [url=http://eng.szairport.com[/url],]access from the fourth busiest airport in China is by long distance bus. Bus service is available for Zhuhai/Macau from the Airport Traffic Center from 08:20 until 21:05 for a price of ¥95 with a journey time of 2 hours. Service from Zhuhai to the airport leaves from Gongbei bus station between the same hours. Access is also possible via ferry using the Shekou Ferry Terminal, the Shenzhen Fuyong Ferry Terminal at Shenzhen Airport does not have a service to Zhuhai.
From the Macau International Airport (IATA: MFM) [url=http://www.macau-airport.gov.mo[/url],]the best way to get to Zhuhai is via the Express Link [url=http://www.macau-airport.com/en/v01/01_express.php[/url]]service, skipping the Macau immigration and customs altogether. Once you deboard the plane, instead of going through immigration, look for the Express Link (China) sign and follow it. This will lead you past a transit security scan station where you must pick up an Express Link card, and upstairs into the departure hall. Go to the ticket counter at Gate 8, present your card and buy a ticket for the coach that goes to the Gongbei border (past Macau, before Zhuhai). The coach fare is ¥52 and the ride takes only 15 minutes. Coach departure times are 11AM, 11:30AM, 12PM, 12:30PM, 1PM, 2:45PM, 5PM, 5:30PM, 6PM and 6PM. If you need to check in any bags for your flight, remember to have them blue tagged during your flight check-in procedure for this Express Link service. The blue tag is not a necessity, merely a convenience. Present your luggage tags at the above-mentioned coach ticket counter and pick up your bags at the bus bay later.
The option to skip the Macau immigration is not available on the return. Allow at least three hours to get from Gongbei to the Macau airport. Immigration formalities can be very time-consuming, particularly on the Chinese side during the weekends. Once out of the Chinese customs (before entering Macau), there is a little ticket booth to the left where you can get a shuttle bus ticket to the airport for ¥35. The buses will be waiting on the left once you leave the Macau immigration hall. They run at 10 minutes intervals.
Should you decide to go through the Macau immigration at the airport and use the Taxi service to get to Zhuhai, the ride takes only about 15 minutes. It costs about ¥60-80 for the short ride. But it is reasonable priced for those (>2 persons) who wish to share the taxi cab fees. The charges are inclusive of surcharge of ¥5 at the airport, ¥5 per piece of luggage. Taxi payment can be in Macau, HongKong or Chinese currencies. They are all treated equally in value. (ie. dollar for dollar, even though Macau dollar has the lowest value of the three currencies). Taxi cabs queue at the curve outside of the airport. Beware of fake note at this point. You may switch on your China mobile phone once you reaches the mid span of the Friendship bridge. The reception is rather good from this point onwards.
Crossing into Zhuhai, China through the Gongbei port takes about 20-30 minutes. The Gongbei immigration office open for border crossing starting from 7:00am. For foreigner entering China, you will need to produce a valid visa. Follow the immigration line that say "Foreigner". Once you clear immigration, you are now entering the duty free zone. Chocolate, Western liquor and cigarette are popular gifts to the Chinese. These foreign goods are extremely rare and expensive in mainland China. So they serve as very attractive gifts to the Chinese. As a foreigner, you are also required to fill up an entry form, indicating your place of stay in China and your departure detail. Please ensure you fill up this slip before queuing at the Chinese Immigration line.
When you exit the Gongbei immigration building, you have reached the Zhuhai border. If you need to purchase a pre-paid cellphone card, please proceed to exit the immigration building, then walk downstair to the underground mall. There are many telephone services stalls here. You may purchase a pre-paid sim-card here for ¥100. It comes with a loaded value of ¥50. You will need a GSM phone to get it to work. Always keep your belonging zipped inside your pocket here as pick-pocket is very common at the border check point.
From Hong Kong International Airport (IATA: HKG) [url=http://www.hongkongairport.com[/url],]one option is to take the [url=http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/train/ae_intro.htm]Airport Express[/url[/url] to Kowloon Station (at the cost of HK$90), then hop on the free Airport Express transit bus K2 to the China-Hong Kong Ferry Terminal (中港城码头; Zhōnggǎngchéngmǎtóu) to take a ferry to Zhuhai. See below for ferry timetable.
Another option from Hong Kong is to catch a ferry from the HKIA Skypier to Macau and then cross into Zhuhai via the Gongbei border gate. Immigration and custom procedures can be skipped at the Hong Kong end. Full instructions can be found here [url=http://www.hongkongairport.com/eng/aguide/skypier.html#airflow].]The ferry journey takes about 50 minutes and runs hourly (usually).
A third option from HKIA is now available in the form of long-distance buses that go overland to Gongbei. The journey takes 3.5 hours and costs HK$200. Departure times are 7AM, 8AM, 4PM, 5PM and 7PM.
A new ferry service is just introduced (twice daily for now) that brings travelers directly from HKIA to the Jiuzhou Port in Zhuhai. The ferry leaves at 12:15PM, 2:04PM, 5PM and 8PM. The one from Zhuhai to HKIA leaves at 9:30AM, 12:40PM, 3:30PM and 18:30PM. The trip takes approximately 50 minutes.

-
By bus
Hundreds of buses come from [wiki=50a13d0dbb195487a4b6c602ea0fe532]Guangzhou[/wiki] every day, usually via the Jingzhu (Beijing-Zhuhai) Highway (京珠高速; Jīngzhūgāosù). You can catch one at:
* China (Marriott) Hotel (中国大酒店)
* Guangzhou Baiyun Airport (广州白云机场) just inside the Arrival Hall

From any of these locations, the trip will cost ¥70-75 and take about 2.5 hours. Buses leave every half hour and go to Gongbei. Along the way, they usually make a stop at Xiangzhou (香洲; Xiāngzhōu) and Suidaonan (隧道南; Suìdàonán).
Zhuhai has several bus stations:
* One is underground, accessed from the lower level of the underground shopping center at the Gongbei border crossing (the Macau border).
* The main Gongbei bus station is within a few hundred meters from the Gongbei border crossing. It's off to your right as you leave the underground shopping center by the Northeast Exit.
* Xiangzhou also has a large intercity bus station. Take #2 or #10 city bus to reach it from Gongbei.

On foot
You can walk across the border from [wiki=9d6c9d893aa285a736aeabb2b66b316f]Macau[/wiki] at Gongbei. The border is open from 7am to midnight. It typically takes 20 minutes of walking time, but be prepared for long queues, which can easily add over an hour to your total border crossing time.
An alternative crossing is via the Lotus Bridge in Macau's Cotai area to the island of Hengqin. This border crossing point is open 8AM-8PM. After crossing the Macau side, take a shuttle bus across the bridge to the China side (fare ¥3, no change given so carry the exact amount).

For foreigner entering China, you will need to produce a valid visa. Follow the immigration line that says "Foreigner". Once you clear immigration, you enter the duty free zone. Consider picking up some Western chocolate or liquor, especially if you need gifts for Chinese. Jameson's at HK$70 a bottle is a good buy, as are some of the wines and single malt whiskeys. Do not bother with common brands of whiskey or cognac; those a readily available in China. Cigarettes are generally cheaper in downtown Zhuhai than at the duty-free( do not buy cigarettes in duty free, most are fake).
When you exit the Gongbei immigration building, you have reached the Zhuhai border. If you need to purchase a pre-paid cellphone card, please proceed to exit the immigration building, then walk downstair to the underground mall. There are many telephone services stalls here.

On the return trip from China to Macau, here are the border crossing tips from Zhuhai China to Macau via Gongbei port. The Gongbei immigration building opens at 7:00am. If you arrived at the Zhuhai Gongbei port via Taxi cab, you either arrive in front of the Gongbei immigration building or via the underground tunnel, linked to the underground mall below the Gongbei immigration building. Proceed to queue up at the entrance of building. It is rather cold in the morning so bring enough warm clothing with you if you decided to queue up in the morning before 7:00am.
When the building opens, proceed inside the building. Look for the line that says "Foreigner" (usually line# 15). If you are already late for your connecting flight, go to the express line (no queuing required) and show them your air ticket for immediate attention. Once you clear the Chinese immigration, you enter the duty-free zone. Proceed to the immigration hall. Foreigner is required to fill up a blue-color slip in this hall, declaring your place of stay in Macau and your departure details. Proceed to queue at the line that says "Foreigner". Once you clear the Macau immigration, proceed to exit the building. If you carry any luggage with you, the immigration officer may request that your luggage be scanned by the X-ray machine before you are allowed to exit the immigration building. The whole border crossing process takes about 20-25 minutes, excluding waiting time in the long queues.
You may choose Taxi cab or bus to get to the airport. The ride to the Macau International Airport takes only 15 minutes from Gongbei port. There will be surcharge of Macau$5 to the airport and $6 per item of luggage. It costs about Macau $70 to get to the airport by Taxi cab (inclusive of surcharges). Taxi cabs accepts Macau Patacas, Hong Kong Dollars or Chinese RMB for payment. These currencies are treated equally (With RMB being the most expensive) during payment. You may still use your Chinese pre-paid telephone card up to the mid-span of the Friendship Bridge in Macau. After that, the signal drops off.

By train
The Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Mass Rapid Transit (Guangzhu MRT) opened on 7 January 2011. Currently (Jan 6, 2013) line connect Guanzhou South railway station (Guangzhounan) and Zhuhai (near Gongbei (border cross point to Macao)). Price is dramatically changed (70 CNY for 2nd class in one way). Not in all information resource information about it updated. So take bus K1 (3 CNY) for reaching Zhuhai North Railway Station (珠海北站; Zhūhái Běi Zhàn) (about 50 min) is not good idea, because it a little cheaper (55 CNY) but it same line and not every train Guangzhou - Zhuhai is stopped now on Zhuhai North Railway Station. Also price information is not updated too from Zhuhai North Railway Station' now 2nd class is 55 CNY, not 36 and full price from GZ to ZH cost 70 CNY. Trip time for full path about 1:20 from Zhuhai North Railway Station about 1 hour.
Bus routes 3A (to Jiuzhou ferry port) and 65 (to Zhulinpu in Tangjiawan) connect the station to the rest of Zhuhai, while there is also a minivan service to Beijing Normal University. Reaching downtown Zhuhai from Zhuhai North station takes around 40-50 minutes by bus. There is also a taxi queue immediately outside the station.
If your interesting in making your way straight to the Macau border, you can take the k1 bus directly from the station (珠海北站) to the Gongbei (拱北) border crossing. The cost is 3 yuan, and it takes about 30 minutes.
Until the rail line extension comes into play, the direct downtown-to-downtown busses are likely to be faster and more convenient.

Zhuhai is quite spread out. The terrain is coastal plain broken up by mountains or, seen from the sea, a series of bays and headlands. There are many clumps of development separated by hills, often parkland.
For all information about the city you can pick up Delta Bridges City Guide at almost every bar, hotel or better restaurant. All information is freshly updated, or visit their website [url=http://www.deltabridges.com]link title[/url]

Legend has it that an angel descended to earth one day and fell in love with the beauty of the land. Reluctant to return, she turned herself into a fisher girl, weaving nets and searching for precious pearls to earn a living. In addition, she unselfishly used her knowledge and powers to heal villagers who were ill, and so was well loved by one and all. Soon she met a young fisherman named Hai Peng and they fell in love. Not long after, however, Hai Peng heard and believed malicious accusations, and demanded the fisher girl to give him her magical bracelets as proof of her affection. The fisher girl tearfully explained the origin of the bracelets. While she was still the daughter of the South Sea Dragon King, the eight bracelets were given to her by the eight palace mistresses, to guard her against the thought of abandoning immortality. She would die if she even removed one. Tragically, Hai Peng did not believe her story and turned to leave. The fisher girl, to prove her love for Hai Peng, removed her bracelets and died in his arms instantly. Hai Peng was filled with remorse and grief. His great sorrow moved the Jiu Zhou Huan Elder, who taught him the way to bring the fisher girl back to life. For this he had to travel to the Jiu Zhou Island to find the Resurrection Grass, which must then be fed with man's blood. After much difficulty, Hai Peng found the grass and grew it with his own blood. Days turned to years, and the grass was finally ready and used to revive the fisher girl. Henceforth, the fisher girl became a true mortal. On the day of their wedding, all the girls together found a gigantic, magical pearl at the seashore. In gratitude, the fisher girl presented this to the reverent Elder.
* * Take a walk along the coastline. It offers a majestic view of the Macau skyline across the border, but the sea tends to be brown and muddy.
* Immitation of the Yuanming Palace in Beijing and covers an area of 1.39 square km. Inside the park there is also 80,000 square meters of lake. Along the lake are many places to hire motor boats and pedelos. The park has many attractions from ancient emperors' artifacts and clothes to floating restaurants and traditional Chinese architecture. It offers amazing photo opportunities with the mountains as a backdrop and there are many little pagodas to distract yourself with. In the evening, at the Northern side of the park, there are impressive stage shows depicting traditional Chinese dances and stories in a Broadway style musical presentation. This is a must-see. Also, in the Northern most part of the park there is a sea-battle re-enactment using real boats, explosions and also a troop of cavalry to add to the realism. These shows are included in the entrance fee although premium tickets for good seats can be purchased for ¥5. When you leave, you also have the opportunity to dress in the Emperor's clothes and have your picture taken for ¥40, which is quite expensive. You are allowed to take the pictures with your own camera.
* Scenic temple built at the end of the Song Dynasty, over 1,000 years old and well worth a visit if you are in this area.
* One of Zhuhai's nicknames is the city of a hundred islands (146 to be exact), and it has a number of islands that are accessible from ports by ferry boat (see the Districts Section for more information).

Here you can watch and enjoy the atmosphere of international auto and motorcycle racing, including the FIA GT Championship, A1GP (World Cup of Motorsports), Asian Formula 3 Series, Asian Festival of Speed and ZIC's very own Pan Delta Super Racing Festival. It is also possible to take the ride of a lifetime by buckling up on board Asia's one-and-only 2-seater formula car and being driven by an ART Motorsports professional racing driver. Receive expert instruction and spend a half hour on the actual race course in a formula car for HK$1500. Enjoy the ride yourself, or with a group of friends in a full 30-minute session doing 2 to 3 laps each. You can also rent go karts and motorcycles for use on a separate track.
* There are several golf courses in the area. These are popular with Hong Kong players who come on weekends as they are cheaper and less crowded than those in [wiki=8b476ff778119b8d49588f3daadf69a1]Hong Kong[/wiki]. For more details see [wiki=20b757c711176d2b069d75ec80aa399f]Golf in China[/wiki]. There is also a driving range in Jida. This is accessible via the #4 bus. Golf equipment is readily available and cheap in Zhuhai, but all branded clubs are knock-offs of varying qualities. There are several small golf shops in the underground shopping complex at the Macau border, several on Lianhua Lu (Lotus Road) in Gongbei, and two larger ones across the road from the driving range in Jida.
* The first Japanese-style open air hot spring in China. There are over 20 kinds of hot springs, massage rooms and sauna rooms. This is considered to be one of the best spa resorts in China. From Gongbei it takes about two hours to get to there by bus, or an hour and ~¥130 one-way by taxi.
* At a number of islands which are approximately 50 minutes away by ferry (see Zhuhai Islands Section for more details).

* Several universities are found here.

Gongbei
Always inspect the product before paying for it and leaving the shop. Also, note down where you bought the item. You will never get a refund, but Gongbei shop owners are surprisingly diligent about protecting their reputation, so they will more than likely exchange defective merchandise.
* Huge complex. The entire open concrete area in front of the border crossing has two floors of shops under it. Find several hundred shops, many with goods targeted at tourists, such as clothing and shoes, jade and other jewelery, handicraft e.g. Tibetan accessories, and consumer electronics. There are also many CDs and DVDs for sale at cheap prices, although they are unlicensed copies. Also available in abundance are imitation watches with incredible resemblance to the real ones (Rolex, Breitling, Patek Philippe, Movado, and Omega, just to name a few). Even among these knock-offs, differences in grade can be seen for the same model in different shops. Whatever you buy here, always bargain and bargain hard.
* It has several large shopping complexes with everything from cheap Chinese goods to trendy pricey international brands. On the left, there is Wanjia Department Store (万佳百货; Wànjiābǎihuò), which is the most recognizable landmark in Gongbei. Any local or taxi driver will know where it is. Slightly further up, there is also the Yingbin Plaza (迎宾广场; Yíngbīnguǎngchǎng) on the right which has a McDonald's on the ground floor and a KFC right above it. Most of the shops here sell clothing.
* Pedestrians only street. The merchandise available here is similar to what you find in the underground shopping mall, primarily clothing and electronics. There is also a Bank Of China branch here with ATMs for foreign cards.

Xiangzhou
Has plenty of shops, and is generally less touristy than Jida or Gongbei. Many locals shop here to buy their Chinese brand name clothing. The main street has the Japanese department (and grocery) store Jusco. There are also a number of other shops and several fairly large shopping complexes along the street north of Jusco.
* Two large buildings full of computer and electronics shops. This is the place to go in Zhuhai for anything computer or electronics related.
-
Western groceries

Cantonese cuisine is common place, but street food stalls and restaurants featuring food from all over China are also easily found. Seafood is a local specialty.

Zhuhai is known for its nightlife due to its status as a tourist destination for Chinese nationals, and as a playground for Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan businessmen looking for female company. Whether it's enjoying Chinese street life, mixing it up with all walks of life on Walking Street, sipping cocktails on Bar Street, or hitting the wild electronic discos, Zhuhai has what you're looking for!
*Italian food and pizza, the chef is a Chinese man named Luigi.

Lotus Road
For a truly unique experience, have a beer or coffee at one of the couple dozen open-air bar booths along Linhua Road (莲花路; Liánhuālù; lit. Lotus Road; also known as Walking Street (步行街; Bùxíngjiē)). It is parallel to Yingbin Road and a block east of it, starting on the western side of Gongbei Bus Station, opposite the northeast exit from the underground shopping complex at the Macau border. By day, it is a busy shopping street with numerous shops. It transforms into a spectacular must-see atmosphere at night. This area is filled with individual proprietary outdoor stalls for drinking and playing dice with the bar girls. The bar girls earn commission on the drinks so their goal is to get you to buy as much beer as possible. Casual approaches by working girls are common, as are beggars who offer to sing or shine your shoes, or present their pet monkey or simply point to their baby sadly. There are two groups of outdoor bars with the one further south nearer the border emphasizing food (nothing special) and the one a little further north emphasizing drinks. There is a stretch of shops in between the two areas. Drinks are cheap (¥18 for a bottle of beer, fresh fruit juice or cup of coffee), and you get to meet all sorts of travelers, expats, Hong Kong and Macau residents coming over for shopping or cheaper entertainment, local wannabes, and working girls. Hanging out here is by far one of the most interesting things to do in Zhuhai. Use common sense late at night, as things can get pretty wild. Most stalls are open till 3AM, a few stay open later for enthusiastic customers.

Bar Street
Bar Street (酒吧街; Jiǔbājiē), at around 300 meters long, is a well-established, modern strip of more upscale bars, some featuring live music. It is easily the first place newcomers to Zhuhai go to experience the energy and liveliness of life in Zhuhai after dark. This strip primarily caters to Chinese businessmen, Chinese yuppies, and moneyed or uninformed tourists. It is one block in-land and a 20 minute walk from the Gongbei border. Follow the street with the clock tower until it becomes Bar Street.
* Not technically part of the Bar Street strip, but one block away before you reach Bar Street. Relatively new, near the outdoor eating tables on Bar Street. Most of the girls inside work for the bar to book tables.
* By far the most popular bar in Zhuhai is the no. 88 bar. It's on the corner and the first bar you see when you approach bar street. It's ¥380 for a dozen beers or 500 for a bottle of whiskey like Jack Daniel's or Chivas Regal. Beware of the bottle service though, you might get counterfeit alcohol and feel like crap afterwards. The best thing about this place is that most of the females that show up are customers themselves, as opposed to the other bars on bar street where most of the females work for the bar. open till 5am
* The only place in Zhuhai with professional IBA trained foreign bartender.
* New club next to 88. not that many people coming here but worth a look if you need a break from 88.
* Older crowd with quiet outdoor seating and fireplace outside. Indoor seating with live singers and dancers. A nice break once in a while from the hardcore partying at 88.
* outdoor seating, broad menu with full dinner items and snacks, lots of table-booker girls, good selection of music from live DJs.
* small place and usually only one or two tables. One has to wonder how they stay in business.
* quiet place where you can sip red wine and have some fine dining. They have a private room in the back.
* quiet
place where you can sip red wine and have some fine dining. They have a private room in the back.
* Use to be named UFO before renovations. The facilites look similar to 88, but larger space. A lot of the girls in here work for the bar as promoters.
* outdoor seating, with ktv rooms inside.
* the only bar of it's kind in zhuhai where the bartenders actually mix cocktails according to specifications. For example a Long Island Ice Tea actually has 5 different kind of alcohols in it. If you order this in other bars it's just a mix of lemon iced tea and vodka. Located in the basement of a hotel up the ramp from back street. It's a quiet setting - good for romancing a date you just met at the other clubs.
* one block down from 88 towards the ocean. Most of the pretty girls here are promoters for the bar. Karaoke upstairs.
* Huge place to dine and wine. They don't normally play loud music so it's more of a quiet place for chatting. Can be quite cold inside during winter because they don't turn on the heat. They have a private room in the back. Also a counter bar in the back, but nobody ever sits there.
* Aside from the hugely popular Friday night Latin dance parties, La Bohemia offers excellent Portuguese food, Mediterranean food and Asian dishes, as well as a large selection of fine wines and cocktails.
-
Discos
Your best bet is to hit your bar of choice first and then inquire and explore. The discos tend to be large, intense, and heavy into generic Chinese imitation euro-trance music, and popular with the young and rebellious. Cover charges may or may not apply, drinks are expensive by Chinese standards (generally ¥30 or more). Be careful with your possessions as these places are notorious for pickpockets.
There are numerous discos in Zhuhai that will allow you to continue your night into the morning. There are several in Gongbei within a short cab ride of either Bar Street or Walking Street:
* Disco with lots of action.
There are several slightly smaller, dance type clubs located right on Bar Street.
The Xiangzhou and Jida areas also have popular discos.
-
Karaoke
For singing/drinking in private rooms with your friends, the following places charge per hour for the room and drinks are bought separately in the mini-supermarket within the facilities.
GongBei
*
*
* small karaoke lounge with private rooms on 2nd floor.
Jida
*
There are a handful of karaoke establishments across the street from the McDonald's as well.
XiangZhou
There are many KTVs in Xiangzhou.
Jinding
Come to Jinding Barbeque for a unique dining experience and beers aplenty (see Eat Section) and then go to Jinding Karaoke Bar Street, an off-the-beaten-path strip of about 10 truly hole-in-the-wall karaoke bars located northeast of the main street in Jinding. Come here if you want to experience where real salt-of-the-earth working class Chinese people go to get their drinks and howl at high decibel levels into a microphone. It is not easily reached by walking if you do not know where you are going, but it is easy to flag down any of the locals and get a ride on their motorcycle (takes about 3 minutes and costs ¥5) or take any of the taxi vans parked all around the middle of the main street. Just motion that you want to drink and sing and point in a eastward direction from the center of the main street to convey the message. You will be popular here and may be encouraged to join someone's table and drink gratis as most locals will be surprised a foreigner would come here. Drink plenty of beer or bring earplugs or both to dull the volume of the howling.

Other
The Blarney Stone in the Holiday Inn has quite a number of beers on tap. It is located in Jida. It features live western music performed by Filipino groups, among others, on some nights (usually weekends). The German beers on tap are rather expensive at Y58 (+15%) but Y23 (+15%) for a pint of draught Filipino San Miguel is rather a good deal, especially during happy hour (6-8pm everyday) when it is buy one get one free. Although the Irish decor is pretty average, it is a large and comfortable venue for those who are looking for a tamer night out. One of the cheaper hotel bars that I have been in and enjoys a reasonable mix of clientèle for a bar in a western hotel.
Dragon Union Opera House, also in Tangjia, is a large entertainment venue, occasionally featuring live, perhaps tacky, variety shows with acrobats, jugglers, rope climbers and singers, etc. Beer is expensive during shows. There is also a floor dedicated to massages. There are quite a few karaoke rooms available, complete with furniture, beds, food, drink, choice of girls, and optional adult entertainment options to fulfill your every need no matter how unusual. Known even in Hong Kong as a destination for those seeking an 'all inclusive' karaoke experience, it can be as tame or as involved as you want it to be.
* The Cat and Tea House is the FIRST CAT THEMED TEA HOUSE featuring German Fruit Tea in Guangdong Province. The Cat and Tea House was officially opened on 19th June 2015, located at Suite 206, Zhichen Mall, The Great Hall of Zhuhai, Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai. Almost 30 different varieties of cats can be found at the tea house, including Exotics, Folds and Munchkins, where most of them have the lineage identifications certified by the Cat Fanciers’ Association of the USA.

Hotels in Zhuhai are reasonably priced. Travelers on tight budgets can opt for budget or midrange hotels. Most people choose to stay in Gongbei due to its proximity to attractions, nightlife, the Macau border, and its variety of conveniently located and reasonable hotels. Jida has primarily upscale hotels that business travelers sometimes opt for, which are usually conveniently located. Some are further away and require taking taxis or the bus. Further out, Xiangzhou also has a variety of options at different price ranges. The Northern districts of Tangjia and Jinding are further removed from the action of Zhuhai and offer very cheap hotels.
*Zhuhai Dehan Hotel (Zhuhai Dehan Dajiudian) is located at the intersection of Lover's Road and Haijing Road, facing the South China Sea.The hotel owns eight restaurants and bars which serve you with delicious Chinese cuisine and western food.
-
Budget
Most budget travelers opt for low end hotels, and there are a number of legitimate cheaper hotels in Gongbei with low prices between ¥160 and ¥230. Talking your way into Chinese only hotels may land you prices in the ¥120 to ¥150 range. Some hotels in Xiangzhou can be had for as little as ¥100 to ¥120, and in the Northern districts of Tangjia or Jinding hotels can be had for as low as ¥80 if you look around. However, for those who truly want rock bottom prices somewhere other than a hotel, there is budget lodging in the form of hostels, and private rooms offered by individuals or families.
-
Mid-range
Four star hotel with rooms with free internet. Business center, currency exchange, gift shop, ticket office, karaoke, night club, table tennis, massage and sauna available. Chinese and Western restaurants as well as coffee shop.

Splurge
Most higher end hotels are located in Jida or Gongbei. Gongbei situated hotels are more convenient for accessing the Macau border crossing, colorful nightlife and walking around and exploring. Jida locations vary, depending on the address of the hotel as some are essentially in Gongbei, while others are well north of that and are a taxi ride from the heart of the action.
* This large five star hotel is very recognizable due to its unique quasi-romanesque dome and its location near the beach in Jida.
* Nice views of Macau overlooking the sea.
*Five star hotel with fully furnished rooms with air-con, private bath with shower and tub, mini-bar, cable TV, and refrigerator. It has a good restaurant and is next to the only decent downtown beach.
* This hotel is western managed and has clean rooms. For American travelers, this is a high-end Holiday Inn, not the budget chain that is found in the U.S. Expect hefty prices for nicer accommodations. The rooms are large, if somewhat worn. On the executive floors you will find laundry, internet, local calling and breakfast are complimentary, making it quite attractive for business travelers. Nightly live music is available in the Irish bar downstairs. Floors two and three are owned by a separate Macanese company and offer massage, a large bar, karaoke and other entertainment. Not within walking distance of Gongbei nightlife, but if you are staying here you can afford the taxi fare.
* Considered a 5-star hotel, but by Western standards closer to 3 or 4.
*
* Not well kept, with uncomfortable beds and smelly lobby and lifts. The location, however, is very good.
* Was the first 5-star hotel in Zhuhai but it has gotten old. Feels more like a 3.5-star now.

In general, Zhuhai is a safe and friendly city. However, it is heavily infested with [wiki=3b2847685fe39e2c971c38b97b52b5de]pickpockets[/wiki], especially in the crowded shopping areas and on busses. Using a razor to get a wallet out of a hip pocket on a bus is a favorite tactic.
* Zhuhai is well known for rent-a-hottie services, but it is not Thailand. Prostitution is illegal in China, and if you are caught with one by the police, the consequences could be dire.
* As in anywhere else in China, do not drink the tap water, avoid undercooked meats, watch out for counterfeit bills (especially 50s), and be very cautious about [wiki=bdbbba7d7954b115ee5320de13c60159]traffic[/wiki].
* As in anywhere else in Asia, some tour guides will take you to shops that pay them commission. Those shops are often overpriced, and the usual advice is to never let any local except a trusted friend take you to any tourist shop. One Zhuhai variant involves outrageously priced herbs from a Chinese medicine company called Bai Chao Tang (百草堂).

The bus to [wiki=50a13d0dbb195487a4b6c602ea0fe532]Guangzhou[/wiki], the capital of Guangdong Province, costs ¥60 to ¥65, runs every half hour and takes 2.5 hours from Gongbei or 1 hour 45 minutes from Tangjia. Allow an extra hour for the inevitable Guangzhou traffic jam. You can board one at the underground station in Gongbei to reach Garden Hotel in Guangzhou (花园酒店), or one from near the Gongbei border to get to the Provincial bus station (省汽车站) or Tianhe Dasha bus station (天河大厦). Additionally, it is possible to take the bus from Tangjia in northern Zhuhai to get to the Guangzhou airport, or Guangzhou proper.
* Neighbouring [wiki=9d6c9d893aa285a736aeabb2b66b316f]Macau[/wiki] can be reached on foot or by car through the Gongbei border crossing, by ferry from Wanzai area, or on foot or by car through the Lotus Bridge from Hengqin.
* [wiki=8b476ff778119b8d49588f3daadf69a1]Hong Kong[/wiki] can be reached by a 1-hour ferry boat trip from Jiuzhou Port (九洲港). Bus #3 will take you to the ferry terminal. Ferries run regularly all day, with the last boat to Hong Kong leaving at 9:30pm.
* [wiki=8f3199f4c051d7e2597afb0b55b23dee]Shenzhen[/wiki], district of Shekou, can be reached by a 1 hour ferry boat trip from Jiuzhou Port (九洲港).
*There are also buses to most nearby cities including [wiki=8f3199f4c051d7e2597afb0b55b23dee]Shenzhen[/wiki] (cheaper than the ferry), and overnight buses to [wiki=cc94b6a207d65b12ae5067f7a630688f]Guilin[/wiki], [wiki=9d6d0f6936e1fb402d564d9e35fad9d4]Xiamen[/wiki], [wiki=579acd9bb5eb759def5cb7f59118d5a7]Zhanjiang[/wiki] and [wiki=f2bbe16951cdc6e14c750e4a83e6bb73]Beihai[/wiki].
* The Xiangzhou and Gongbei bus stations have overnight buses to [wiki=cc94b6a207d65b12ae5067f7a630688f]Guilin[/wiki] or [wiki=265c2765006e4f2420c2cb99adc85f0e]Yangshuo[/wiki]. These are fairly uncomfortable. Unlike most overnight buses, they have no on-board toilets, but they do make several stops during the 12-hour trip.
* Flying can either be accomplished by using the Zhuhai airport in the western Doumen district of the city, or taking the bus to the Guangzhou airport. Times vary for transportation depending on how far south in Zhuhai you are departing from. If leaving from Xiangzhou, Tangjia, or Jinding it is nearly as fast, and more perhaps more convenient, to get to the Guangzhou airport. If leaving from Gongbei or Jida the Zhuhai airport would be nearer.
* There are remote check-ins for nearby airports in Zhuhai. For Guangzhou airport, the check-in is at Gongbei bus station, near the KFC. For Hong Kong and Shenzhen airports, you can check in at the ferry terminal, Jiuzhou Port.
