Zhuhai's calling card: a coastal scenic road about 55 km long winds along Xianglu Bay, linking the Fisher Girl statue, beaches and the city skyline. Completed in 1982 and standing 8.7 m tall, the Zhuhai Fisher Girl statue draws on the legend of a fisher girl holding a pearl aloft—a fairy said to have descended to earth with a treasure pearl to benefit the fishermen; the 'presenting the pearl' image has since become the city's symbol. The Xianglu Bay beach is fine, soft and open, with the 'Sun Moon Shell' (Zhuhai Grand Theatre) facing it across the bay. Evening cycling or strolling is best, when sunset gives way to the evening lights.
Getting there: Bus / taxi (Xiangzhou section; Zhuhai has no rail transit)
