Top attractions in Zhuhai – places you need to visit!

This beautiful city in the Pearl River Delta has something for everyone; from beaches, mountains and scenic landscapes to amusement parks, cultural relics and museums. Here are some things you must see when you're here.

The new summer palace

Roughly the same size as the original Summer Palace in Beijing, this replica features 18 of the most prominent halls and attractions. It is located 20 mins away from popular hotels in the area such as Somerset Southbay Zhuhai, so you can easily visit and witness a beautiful cultural performance.

Zhuhai Museum

The unique architecture of the museum building is what mainly attracts visitors here daily. But there are 13 massive exhibition halls displaying ceramics, artefacts, and old pictures that document the history of this city. Some of the items reportedly date back to the Neolithic Period.

Jintai Temple

Jintai Temple, a centre of religious activity, is situated in Doumen county, Zhuhai, on the southern slope of the Huangyan mountains, not far from Zhuhai accommodation options. You can see the beautiful temple in the misty green hills against the still, deep waters creating a mesmerizing scene from afar. The ancient Chinese architecture of the place is admired by scholars and visitors alike.

Tangjia Bay

A tourist destination with mangrove forests, historical sites, and some old mounds, Qi Ao Island sits 2 kilometres off the coast. It is approximately 6 km long and 4 km wide. Tangjia Bay is famous for its beautiful ecological sites, street food, universities and research centres.

Meixi Archways

These intricate archways were said to be built to honour the consulate general to Honolulu, Cheng Fang. The arches were constructed using a distinctive design that combines Western decorative style with traditional Chinese architecture. They lead into a park including a museum, Chen Fang's former home, a garden, and a cemetery.

Seaside Park

Aside from the beautiful statue of the fishing girl with the pearl, this is a serene area where locals head to relax and enjoy a peaceful evening after a long day. There are gorgeous, manicured lawns, forests and endless views of the sea stretching as far as the eye can see.

Wai Lingding Island

Famous for its rare exotic stones and mesmerizing views, this island is a place of tranquillity and peace. The highest elevation on the island, Lingding peak, rises 311 meters above sea level and offers a breathtaking perspective of the other islands strewn below. It offers many beautiful places to visit, and the coastline is great for swimming, fishing, and surfing.

Pearl Amusement Park

It is a popular tourist destination due to its distinctive architectural style, dense trees, lush green grass, and blossoming flowers. About 30 exhilarating coasters of various shapes and sizes are available.

Shijing Mountains

The Shijing Mountains are renowned for their unusual stone sceneries and were originally known as "Rhino Looking at the Moon Mountain" due to its peculiar shape like a rhinoceros staring up at the sky. One might even say this looks like the Forest of Death in Naruto.
