Zhuhai is a very popular tourist destination known as the Chinese Riviera. It's nicknames are the city for lovers and The Hundred Island City (217 according the city's official website with 147 of them over 500 square metres). It is one of China's prettiest, cleanest, greenest cities with a beautiful coastline and wavy palm trees. As well as being voted China's most liveable city Zhuhai has been awarded, “Best Garden City in China”, “The Happiest City in China” and “China’s Excellent Tourism City”. People enjoy its many open spaces that help give it a low population density. Despite a small population of 1.9 million relative to the other eight cities in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, Zhuhai had 3.18 million overnight foreign tourist numbers in 2017. That places Zhuhai 3rd for that metric after Guangzhou and Shenzhen among the PRD cities. Zhuhai plans to extend a tourism industry that focuses on leisure and sight-seeing, and to develop Hengqin into a tourist island targeting leisure travellers from across the globe. Local authorities promote Zhuhai as an ecotourism destination despite various environmentally destructive projects in the area. Zhuhai is unique in mainland China as a pulsating nightlife holiday destination, of the kind that similarly attracts people to visit such locations in other countries.
