Lovers' Road
Lovers' Road
Historical Overview
Conceived in 1987 as part of Zhuhai’s urban renewal, the road’s construction spanned five years, linking disjointed coastal villages into a unified recreational zone. Its design prioritized eco-friendliness, with 10,000+ palm trees planted and 12 lookout decks added. Key milestones include the 1995 unveiling of the “Zhuhai Fisher Girl” statue, the 2000 expansion to include the Lovers’ Lighthouse, and the 2018 integration of smart park technology (free Wi-Fi, AR guides). Today, it hosts annual events like the Zhuhai International Marathon and the Lovers’ Festival.

The road is divided into three segments:North Section (Xiangzhou Bay): Features the “Fisher Girl” statue, a 8.7-meter bronze icon holding a pearl, symbolizing Zhuhai’s maritime heritage.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
