Zhuhai in Two Days: Coastline & Gardens
The essence of the Pearl River estuary — the Fisher Girl and Lovers Road, Yeli Island's Sun-Moon Shell, Shijingshan's cable car and luge, then the imperial gardens of Yuanming Xinyuan and a Macau-loop cruise at sunset. Built for the short break; bookable end-to-end by our team.
Day-by-Day Plan
Fisher Girl, Lovers Road & Shijingshan. Morning: walk to the Zhuhai Fisher Girl (free, all day) on the rock in Xianglu Bay — Zhuhai's 1982 emblem. Stroll east along Lovers Road past the urban beach; buses 9 and 99. Cross the Yanqiao Bridge to Yeli Island and the white-shell Zhuhai Opera House, lunch on the floating Deyue Fang restaurant. Afternoon: Shijingshan Park — cable car up (round trip ¥55 adult / ¥30 child), luge down the 650 m tube track, rooftop views over Zhuhai and Macau. Evening: seafood dinner on Lovers Road and the beach music vibe in Jida.
Yuanming Xinyuan & the Macau loop. Morning: Yuanming Xinyuan (free with ID, 10:00–22:00) — the 1:1 selection of 18 of Beijing's Old Summer Palace scenes on Dashilin Hill. Buses 1/13/14/25/40/60/62/69/609. Lunch nearby, then the Wanzai Macau-loop cruise from Wanzai — an hour circling the Macau peninsula and outer harbour, with the casino skyline close enough to read. Sunset: dinner at Wanzai Seafood Street (Nanwan Avenue, ¥50–100 pp) — pick live fish and hand it to the adjacent cook.
