Company Trip to Macau & Zhuhai : Day 2

Zhuhai - I think this is a place which I think I will not consider to go back there again. If you are a first time visitor, no harm going for a short trip to have a try. But if were to compare between Shenzhen and Zhuhai, I think Shenzhen will be a much better place for me.

Day 2 - We started our journey from Macau to Zhuhai after breakfast in the hotel. Macau to Zhuhai is just a sea away... Not very far, is just like Johor travel to Singapore. You can just walk over. Very convenient but super crowded with people! The short journey might takes you 3 hours to reach... Very scary experience! I personally experienced it on the last day of the trip. I will further elaborate it a bit on my next blog.


This blog will be for my Day 2 experience in Zhuhai. The itinerary:

After breakfast, tour begins by visiting Zhuhai Lovers Road, Statue of Fisher Girl, Shijingshan Park (include cable car), Mei Xi Memorial Arch, Silk Factory, Jewelry, Gongbei Underground shopping malls.





Actually our Zhuhai trip cannot consider a fulfilling one without this cable car's journey at Shijingshan Park. It makes us remember our Zhuhai trip after the cable car ride. It is quite a exciting experience as the cable car is an open-deck type. No door, no window, nothing! ONLY ONE place to sit on it or shall I put it this way... Mmmm… only has a place to put your buttocks. Hehe! But we do enjoy the scenery a lot throughout the whole cable car's journey up to the hill. On our way down the hill, we choose to take the rail slide back down. This is another exciting part about this tourist attraction. Very good experience!

We wasted some time in this Silk Factory and also one Chinese Medicine factory.  It is included in the tour so no choice need to join in the crowd. But one scary thing in Zhuhai is that, their sales persons are really very sticky. If they cannot get to sell anything to you, they will even follow you all the way until the tour Bus.
We find it very annoying! But then no choice, as this is their way to earn a living in there!

Basically, Day 2 in Zhuhai was a quite a long day, as we spent most of our time listening to the sales girls promoting their products to us. Nothing much to expect in Zhuhai I would say... And the weather was a bit out. We were expecting a very cooling day, but it ended up to be a sunny day! Weather forecast was wrong on this day. Even the tour guide also quite surprise over the sunny temperature that we had as the day before we arrived, it was quite cold according to him.
