Towering aloft on the shore of the picturesque Xianglu Bay in urban
areas of Zhuhai, the sculpture of fishing girl has a graceful
figure blooming with beauty. The girl wears a necklace around the
neck, and ties nets around the waist with trouser legs slightly
rolled up. She holds a pearl high in the air with both hands in an
elegant pose, as if declaring publicly its bright luster and
offering a precious treasure.
Made of 70 pieces of granite, the stone sculpture is 8.7
meters in height and 10 tons in weight. It is the first large-scale
seaside stature in our country and the symbol of Zhuhai.
Xianglu Bay has the shape of half moon and it acquires the name as
the fishermen went ashore from the bay to worship in the Xianglu
Cave on the Shijing Mountain in the past. It has picturesque
sceneries with the blue sea, silver beach, stretches of green
woods, sea gulls chasing the waves and sail boats passing through.
A Chuandi Mountain stretches into the sea, and separates the
Xianglu Bay into two small graceful bay loops like a water chestnut
in the water. Therefore, the two bay loops are also called the
mouth of the water chestnut. The Qinglv Road, built along the
seashore of the Xianglu Bay, has a total length of 15 kilometers.
It adds a modern and romantic atmosphere to Zhuhai. When night
falls, the ornamental lights are just lit up and the glittering sea
surface is dotted with lights on fishing boats, which forms a
charming night view. The seaside Qinglv Road becomes a good place
for the leisure and recreation of the locals.
Setting out from Xiangzhou, you can take the Route 2 bus at
8:30(Route13, 4, 20, 43 is also ok.) to the stop of the seaside
park. (The fare is 2 yuan for the air-conditioned bus and 1 yuan
for the common bus.)How to Get to there?
