read one out of many signboards along the road side
to Zhuhai.
Here are some photos taken during my recent trip to
Zhuhai and Macau. We took ferry ride from Hong Kong
then buses and also by car.
The photo below with a very unique and "rare "car below is taken
from one of my friend's office. It is a very expensive car.
Zhuhai is one of beautiful city situated at Southern China.
Below is a bit of summary from "visitZhuhai" website:-
Zhuhai is situated in the southwest of the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province. It faces Hong Kong on the east across the Lingding Ocean, Macau on the south, Xinhui and Taishan on the west, and Zhongshan on the north. It is 150 kilometers away from Guangzhou. Zhuhai has jurisdiction over Xiangzhou District and Doumen County. Its total land area reaches 1,300 square kilometers.
Zhuhai is a garden-like seaside tourist city, where flowers blossom all year round. In 1999, it was granted “International Award for Best Practices in Improving the Living Environment” by United Nations Center for Human Settlement and was the only winner of the award in China. Besides, it won series of titles such as “Top Tourist City of China”, “State Garden Green City”, “State Environmental Protection Model City” and “State Hygienic City”.From Zhuhai, we travelled to Macau by road along the seaside.
Very nice panaromic view. We stop few places and also having
our lunch at one of Seafood restaurant facing Souh China Sea.
Such a wonderful view to compare with "hazy" view in some part of
Modern China Cities.
Below is the photo taken with some of my Chinese friends.
Here is the excert about Macau from China travel Guide.
The land of Macau when compared with other Chinese metropolises unlike Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou is quite small covering an area of just 27.5 square kilometers. The total population Macau is 469,800 of which 95% are Chinese, the remainder being Portuguese and other westerners.
The majority resides on the Macau Peninsular where you can find a variety of both Oriental and Western cultural and historical places of interest and all sorts of old buildings that are either European baroque or traditional Chinese in style. The blend of people, culture and history has influences on every aspect of life in the city. A wander around the Macau Peninsular will bring you into a world of antiques and fashion, traditional and modern, as well as tranquility and glitz.

Most travelers who have been to Macau conclude that it is a location suited to both tourism and living as it is a beautiful city with clean streets, gardens and picturesque hilly landscapes. Sunshine, clear air, green lands and all sorts of delicious food all contribute to its many attractions.
My advise to those of you that plan to come here, do not plan a short trip.
You will miss a lot of nice spots. One week is good enough.
Have a nice journey.
