Beautiful people, warm smiles, pristine beaches and unspoiled scenery - this is Zhuhai. Located in the Pearl River Delta, it serves as the gateway to Macau. By sea, former British colony Hong Kong and Shenzhen are just across the bay to the east. The provincial capital Guangzhou is about 150 km to the north. The city's 6,000-square-km sea territory is studded with 146 islands, the better known of which are Linding Island, Qi'ao Island and Gaolan Island. Zhuhai means Pearl Sea, and its name is immortalized by an 8.7-metre tall Lady of Pearl Statue standing elegantly at picturesque Xianglu Bay. According to legend, she was the daughter of the Southern Sea Dragon King who was attracted by the fantastic scenery at Xianglu Bay, and decided to stay there as a common fisher girl, weaving nets and searching for precious pearls to earn a living.
