Introduction of one-day tour in Zhuhai

Zhuhai is a unique coastal city full of humanistic temperament, with many Lingnan-style foods and specialties. It's warm all year round, and many entertainment facilities are great. This is an ideal tourist destination. Here are some specific strategies for you.

Many years ago, I heard of Zhuhai on the grounds that it is "the cleanest city in China". Not long ago, due to my work, I was lucky enough to come to this long-awaited city. Sure enough, I'm not disappointed. This seaside city has harmonious old and new buildings, friendly and enthusiastic locals who grew up on the seashore, and unique charm brought by facing Hong Kong and Shenzhen across the sea and connecting with Macao.

In addition, in my opinion, some corners of Zhuhai are very much like old Hong Kong, and some corners are very much like Xiamen. Moreover, it has similar customs, culture and diet with my hometown Quanzhou, Fujian, which adds to my special feelings for Zhuhai.

The new and old buildings are harmonious, and there is no sense of contradiction.

Zhuhai is a city with the largest ocean area, the largest number of islands and the longest coastline in the Pearl River Delta. If you like the sea and the beach, you might as well take a walk along the beach and Binhai Avenue next to Zhuhai Fisherwoman Sculpture and feel the calm brought by the most natural sound of the waves.

Zhuhai fisherman's girl sculpture

There is a beautiful legend about the fisherman's girl in Zhuhai. Legend has it that Xiao Yulong, the seventh daughter of the South China Sea Dragon King, was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of Luxiang Bay when playing. She didn't want to go back to fairyland, so she decided to come down to earth. Princess Qi dressed as a fisherman's girl and called herself Yuzhu, which was called by local fishermen. At work, Zhu Xiao met a simple and honest fisherman, Haipeng. Two people, two of a kind, are attached to each other day and night, making a vow of eternal love. Unexpectedly, Cang Jiao in the sea knew Cang Jiao coveted the Seventh Princess. But she couldn't pursue it many times, so she turned love into hate and wanted revenge on the Seventh Princess. Cangjiao then became a dwarf and lived in a fishing village, making friends with Haipeng and setting Zhu up to die. The elders of Jiuzhou led Haipeng to Jiuzhou Island to look for "resurrection grass" to save Zhu Xiao. On their wedding day, Zhu Xiao and the girls found a huge sea clam at the seaside and dug up a unique treasure. So Zhu Xiao held the treasure high and presented it to the venerable elders of Jiuzhou.

Pan He, a famous sculptor in China, designed this sculpture according to legend: a fisherman girl holds a pearl in her hand, dedicating treasures to mankind and showing the world the light. The fisherman's woman sculpture was built in 1982. It consists of 7 granite stones weighing 1 tons, with a height of 8.7 meters. It is the symbol of Zhuhai.

Some corners of Zhuhai are very much like old Hong Kong.

Zhuhai Museum

The best and most convenient way to learn about a city is to go to the local museum. Zhuhai Museum is also known as Jiuzhou City. Interestingly, the design of Jiuzhou City is very simple and beautiful, because this architectural style has become one of the symbols of Zhuhai.

Jiuzhou City mainly displays Zhuhai's local cultural relics and systematically displays Zhuhai's history and culture. Among the cultural relics are dinosaur fossils, jade and pottery unearthed in Zhuhai, and photos of Zhuhai's development after the reform and opening up. From ancient times to the present, there is everything. The museum consists of more than a dozen exhibition halls, pavilions and open-air ponds. While enjoying the cultural relics, you can't help but indulge in the scenery here.

Zhuhai has some corners like Xiamen.

New Yuanmingyuan

The topic of "Should Yuanmingyuan remain its original appearance or be brilliantly rebuilt" will be discussed every few years. Yuanmingyuan has been dead for 16 years, and it is natural that Yuanmingyuan still remains its original appearance.

Victor Hugo, a French writer, once called Yuanmingyuan a "model of ideal and art", and countless articles praised Yuanmingyuan. Out of curiosity about Yuanmingyuan, I spent an afternoon visiting Yuanming New Garden in Zhuhai. Generally speaking, Yuanming New Garden is still worth a visit, and free admission to the scenic spot is also quite public welfare. According to reports, the scenic spot has selected 18 scenic spots among the 4 scenic spots in Yuanmingyuan, and built them according to the ratio of 1:1. The use function and construction date of each temple are also explained in detail, which is a very good material to understand the architecture.

Food can add icing on the cake to the journey, especially eating food. Personally, although Guangdong cuisine and Hong Kong cuisine in Zhuhai are generally inferior to those in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, Zhuhai cuisine is on the list. When you eat in any tea restaurant in Zhuhai, you won't step on thunder. Of course, if your requirement is "western quality", you may be disappointed.
