Pioneering Developments in China: Zhuhai and Conclusion of the Journey - Emerging Adventurers
After over nine weeks, the final day of our summer journey had finally come. Our departure from Hong Kong was set for seven in the evening, providing us with more than half the day to explore before our van picked us up. The issue was that we had already covered much of the peninsula and Taipa, and I struggled to think of ways to fill the remaining hours in Macao. Instead, we opted to visit the Chinese mainland city of Zhuhai, where we had made a brief stop in 2015. I had three objectives: to explore the border crossing between Macao and mainland China, to get a better look at the impressive skyscrapers we had seen from afar, and to discover if the Chinese had actually extended the city into the Inner Harbour. It seemed unlikely, but Google Maps displayed a network of streets filled with restaurants extending over the water. From the Macao side, I couldn't spot any signs of this, and I realized it was likely just a quirk of the map, yet I felt an unusual need to see it for myself.
