Like a bright pearl on the shore of South china Sea, Zhuhai is one of the four special economic zones earliest open to the outside world and is the focus of world attention for its new-emerging garden-style city. In 1991, Zhuhai was awarded "Zhuhai Tourist City" by the National Tourism Administration and became one of the "40 Top Tourist Attractions and Wonder lands in China", and was also awarded at the same time "The Green Garden City of China", "The Model City of Environmental Protection of China" and "The Model City of Environmental Sanitation in China". In 1998, Zhuhai was awarded "The Best Action of International Living Environmental Improvement" by the United Nations. In January 1999, "The Unique Tourist City" was awarded to Zhuhai.
Located at the estuary of the Pearl River, facing Hong Kong across the sea and adjacent to Macao, with 146 is lands dotted along the coastline, Zhuhai is really a "City of Hundred Islands". Zhuhai has a temperate climate. It is almost spring all the four seasons. With green mountains, clear water and fresh air, Zhuhai has the characteristics of a seashore garden-style city but full of modem flavor.
