Zhuhai (珠海)
- a city in Guangdong Province, China. The
name means Pearl Sea; Zhuhai is where the
Pearl River flows into the South China Sea.
Zhuhai is known for its beautiful long
coastline, waving palm trees, open spaces,
low population density, and its many
islands; Zhuhai's nicknames are the city of
romance (浪漫之城) and the city of a hundred
islands (百岛之市). Zhuhai serves as the gateway
to the former Portuguese colony of Macau, as
a tourist destination for Chinese, and as a
playground for hedonistic Hong Kong, Macau,
and Taiwan visitors who come for Zhuhai's
very colorful nightlife.

What to eat
When in Zhuhai, indulging in a seafood feast
is a must. Locals flock to Yu Yang Xian for
delights made from the freshest catch of the
day, including grilled oysters with garlic
and stir-fried mud crab with ginger and
scallion. Those looking to splurge a little
can treat themselves at the upscale
Cantonese restaurant Denglou Private Kitchen
near Fu Hua Li. Don’t miss the signature
dongpo rou (braised pork belly), which is
elegantly presented in a stone pot complete
with a showstopping dry ice effect.
For something more fun and unexpected,
Beishan Village’s YDM, housed inside a
historic temple dedicated to the “immortal
doctor” Hua Tuo, sells Chinese herbal tea
and traditional pastries by day and
transforms into a bar that serves herbal
tea-themed cocktails at night.
