'''Zhuhai'''
Zhuhai was one of the original four [[Special Economic Zones of China|Special Economic Zones]] established in 1980, as well as one of China's premier tourist destinations, being called the [[Chinese Riviera]]. While the city is located in the traditionally [[Cantonese]]-speaking province of Guangdong, a significant portion of the population is now made up of [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]]-speaking economic migrants originally from inland provinces.

== History ==
Zhuhai has had a long history in the development of the exhibition industry in [[China]]. Zhuhai was the first permanent motor racing facility in China and has become a centre for the local racing scene, as well as a semi-regular fixture on the international racing circuit, including the [[Zhuhai Special Economic Zone]].
=== Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge ===
This bridge was first proposed by [[Gordon Wu]] and contemplated by [[Stakeholder (corporate)|stakeholders]], municipal governments in the [[Pearl River Delta]], the provincial government of [[Guangdong]], and the central government of the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC). Before the government handover of Hong Kong, the [[British government]] also considered plans for a bridge. After 1997 the commercial interests of Hong Kong prompted the local government to consider the plans as well.<ref>{{cite book | editor1=Anthony G. O.

On 24 October 2018 the [[Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge]] (HZMB) was opened.

== Economy ==
In 1980 the government of the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC) announced that the city of Zhuhai would be one of four special economic zones. Those doing [[business]] in the SEZ are eligible for a range of incentives provided by the PRC.<ref>{{cite book | author1=Michael Casey |title=The Unfair Trade: How Our Broken Global Financial System Destroys the Middle Class |publisher= Crown |year=2012 |page=102 |isbn=9780307885326 }}</ref> Zhuhai became a city in 1979, a year before it was designated as one of the first [[Special economic zones of China|Special Economic Zone]]s of China (SEZ). Similarly to neighboring [[Shenzhen]], which became the first Special Economic Zone of China in 1978, the implementation of Zhuhai as an SEZ was largely due to its strategic position adjacent to Macau, a capitalist trading center similar to Shenzhen's position with Hong Kong.
The establishment of Zhuhai as an SEZ allowed the Chinese Central Government and economy to have easier access to the Macau and consequently, global market. As a result, Zhuhai is now a major city in the Pearl River Delta region according to the new general urban plan approved by the [[State Council of the People's Republic of China|State Council]]. The implementation of Special Economy Zone intended for the city to become a key port city, science and education city, scenic and tourism city, and as a regional hub for transportation.

* A spur route of the mainline [[G4 Beijing–Hong Kong and Macau Expressway]], G0425 directly links Guangzhou to Zhuhai (and thus, Macau). It has a concurrency with G94 for several kilometers. Heavy traffic between Zhuhai and Macau has led to the construction of a new cross-border corridor, the [[Lótus Bridge|Lotus Bridge]], built in November 1999 to divert traffic away from the congested [[Gongbei Port of Entry]] ([[Portas do Cerco]]). G0425 currently ends in Zhuhai at Zhuhai Avenue, pending an extension to the Lotus Bridge via [[Hengqin]] island.
== Tourism ==
[[File:Zhuhai-fishing-port-0693.jpg|thumb|
Zhuhai and the surrounding landscapes were developed into an industrial output zone in the 1980s. Prior to that, Zhuhai generated economic development on the basis of [[tourism]], benefiting from the comfortable subtropical climate. Zhuhai enjoys the reputation of a coastal garden city. When environmental pollution from the manufacturing industries threatened the quality of life, Zhuhai introduced strict environmental laws and hired engineers from [[Singapore]] to assist the city with [[urban planning]].<ref>{{cite book | author1= Jerry Patchell |title=China’s Greater Bay Area: Agglomeration, External Economies, Governance and Urbanization |publisher= Taylor & Francis |year=2023 |page= |isbn=9781000920079 }}</ref>

The coast of Xianglu Bay is considered the "symbol" of Zhuhai, offering a scenic view of Pearl River Delta with silt-rich water, rocks, and a beach. The famous landmark of the city, the Fisher Girl Statue, stands elegantly on a boulder in Xianglu Bay; the statue is draped by a fishnet and holds a pearl high in the air with both hands up to the sky, symbolizing a vigorous and lively Zhuhai welcoming visitors from all over the world. It was erected in 1982 by a professor from the [[Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts]] and is 8.7 meters tall, composed of 70 pieces of granite. Visitors can view the statue up close from a boardwalk on the shore.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Walking along the Coast of Xianglu Bay: Zhuhai Things to Do Tip by Minosuke |url=http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/p/m/1e8bdb/ |url-status=dead |website=VirtualTourist |language=en |access-date=22 March 2013 |archive-date=13 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113132956/http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/p/m/1e8bdb/ }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Statue of Fisher Girl in Zhuhai: The Landmark of Zhuhai City |url=https://www.topchinatravel.com/china-attractions/the-statue-of-the-fisher-girl.htm |access-date=2019-06-16 |website=Top China Travel |language=en}}</ref>
[[File:Zhuhai
The statue was based on a local legend, in which the daughter of the celestial Dragon King visited the [[Pearl River delta]]. Enamored by the beauty of the Zhuhai region, she disguised herself as a fisher girl and lived among the people there, weaving baskets and healing locals with her powers until she fell in love with a fellow fisherman named Haipeng. The romance between Haipeng and the fisher girl was interrupted by vicious rumors among the people about the latter's true origins. Haipeng eventually confronted the fisher girl about this and demanded she give her magical pearl bracelets to him as proof of her love. She confirmed the rumors and explained that if she removed even one of the pearls, she would die. As Haipeng refused to believe her story and turned to leave, the fisher girl took off her bracelets, dying in Haipeng's arms. Heartbroken and guilt-ridden, Haipeng set out to find a cure, eventually discovering from a local elder that he would need to cultivate a special grass with his own blood. After years of toiling, Haipeng finally harvested enough to revive the fisher girl, turning her into a mortal. The two later married and the fisher girl found a large pearl, which she gifted to the elder in gratitude on the day of the wedding.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Faulhaber |first=Pia |date=2013-11-29 |title=The Love Story Behind the Zhuhai Fisher Girl |url=https://internchina.com/the-love-story-behind-the-zhuhai-fisher-girl/ |url-status=dead |access-date=2019-06-16 |website=InternChina |language=en |archive-date=14 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314123451/http://internchina.com/the-love-story-behind-the-zhuhai-fisher-girl/ }}</ref>
