Day 2 : Shenzhen ===> Zhuhai (Part 1 of 4)

Our group has only 5 persons (Mr & Mrs Chong and their daughter Michelle, my mum and me). After breakfast in the hotel, we set off to Statue of the Fisher Girl in Zhuhai.

The Statue of fisher girl has become the landmark in the city of Zhuhai, located at the scenic Xianglu Bay. She holds a pearl high in the air with both hands in an elegant pose, admiring its bright luster that also symbolizes the brightness of Zhuhai.

The Statue is composed of granite and stands 8.7 meters high weighing 10 tons. The legend is that a beautiful fairy maiden fell in love with a young fisherman. He believed some fabricated rumors and asked the girl for the bracelet she wore as proof of her love. Although she knew she would die if the bracelet were removed from her body, she still took it off and presented it to show her deep love for him. The girl died and the fisherman was bitterly remorseful, crying all day and all night. An Immortal named Jiuzhou Elder was moved by their love and helped the young man resuscitate the girl. They offered this huge precious pearl to their benefactor during their marriage ceremony as a token of their appreciation for his kindness.

Some items that is sold there

After leaving Statue of the Fisher Girl, we head towards Jingshan Park

The Tour Guide ask whether if anyone is interested in taking the cable car to go up to see the view of the sea and the city. The tickets cost RMB25 for two-ways. Nobody is interested, so i took the cable car up alone. The cable car journey takes about 10 minutes.

That day happen to be hazy, so the views can't be seen clearly
