GBA city guide
Zhuhai brings the Pearl River coast together with stories of education abroad and modern manufacturing. Tangjia's overseas-study museum traces Yung Wing's educational mission; the city also makes printing supplies, medical devices and industrial equipment. Lovers' Road and Yeli Island give a business stay a coastal setting beside Macao.
Xiangzhou contains central neighbourhoods including Gongbei and Jida. Tangjiawan lies farther north, while Jinwan and Doumen are separate districts to the west. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge links three places with different entry arrangements; arriving at the Zhuhai port means entering Mainland China.
Living & visiting
Gongbei combines the Macao boundary with Zhuhai railway station on the crossing's western side. Macao's corresponding crossing is Portas do Cerco. Hengqin and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge port are separate border destinations.
Lovers' Road follows Xiangzhou's urban coast, with Xianglu Bay, Haibin Park, the Fisher Girl statue and Yeli Island as landmarks. Inland, Xiangshanhu Park and Meihua Urban Park provide green spaces; Huafa Commercial City, Midtown and Hi City are established shopping destinations.
Tangjiawan's historic core follows Shanfang Road and Datong Road, with ancestral halls, traditional houses and Chinese-Western architectural details. Gongle Garden and small shops sit within this northern area, alongside the wider high-tech zone.
Zhuhai Airport is in Jinwan, which includes Sanzao's industrial area. Doumen is a separate western district. Together with Xiangzhou, they form Zhuhai's three administrative districts.
Gongbei combines Zhuhai railway station and the Macao Border Gate area. Zhuhai Airport is in Jinwan, while Hengqin provides another connection with Macao. Use the official airport coach routes for onward travel; crossing into Macao requires separate immigration clearance.
Hong Kong Airport offers onward bridge connections to Zhuhai, including eligible SkyPier transfer coaches. Select Zhuhai rather than Macao when entering Mainland China, then arrange the journey from the port to Gongbei, Xiangzhou, Tangjiawan or Jinwan. A connection through Macao involves its separate entry procedures.
The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University offers online, self-service and staffed-window registration. Outpatient enquiries: +86 756 2528 100 and +86 756 2528 200. Its manual service is the enquiry route for setting up a first patient record with a passport.
The Zhuhai Overseas Study Cultural Museum on Shanfang Road occupies restored old houses. Its story begins with Yung Wing, who left for the United States in 1847, and the Chinese Educational Mission he helped bring about in 1872. The programme sent 120 boys to study in America in four groups.
Qi'ao's Baishi Street and the Su Zhaozheng Former Residence Exhibition Hall, commemorating an early Chinese labour-movement leader, anchor a village-history walk. The island's public greenways and village streets offer a different outing from the central waterfront. Use the high-tech zone's cultural-route guide for the named stops; the protected mangrove reserve has separate access arrangements.
Yeli Island's opera-house exterior is a distinctive stop on the central waterfront. A walk around the island pairs the theatre's architecture with the sea; performances have their own programme and tickets.
For New Zealand community and WeChat introductions, tell NZGBA your city, a little about yourself and whether you live locally or are visiting. Introductions depend on available contacts and group administrator approval.
Business & industry
Nanping has printing-consumables manufacturers; Tangjiawan has medical-device research and production. If either is the reason for your trip, start with that area in the industry guide below. The company address will then help you choose where to stay and arrange meetings.
Sanzao in Jinwan has electronics, electrical-appliance, biopharmaceutical and new-energy businesses. Elsewhere in Zhuhai's equipment industry, Gree Intelligent Equipment makes CNC machine tools, industrial robots, automation and warehousing systems. That is useful context if you know Gree for air conditioning but are researching production equipment.
The organiser has moved the 16th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition to 7-13 December 2026. Use its current visitor notices to distinguish trade registration from public tickets and confirm the admission day before booking travel. The exhibition is in Sanzao, Jinwan; it is a different destination from Gongbei and the central waterfront.
