Business trip to Zhuhai

This week I have been on a business trip to Zhuhai in southern China together with one of our customers and two of my colleagues.

Located at the southern tip of the Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province, Zhuhai is one of the five special economic zones in China. It faces Hong Kong in the east across the sea and joins Macau in the south.















In 1980, a special economic zone was established in Zhuhai. Today, the city has under its jurisdiction three districts, namely, Xiangzhou, Doumen (where are factory is situated), and Jinwan.
In recent years, Zhuhai has made progress in economic development owning to its advantageous geographical location near Hong Kong and Macao. Many foreign investments, advanced technologies and management methods stimulated the economic boom of Zhuhai.

It is quite a nice city with many parks and green areas, the climate this year is nice (just below +30) but the humidity in this area of China is a little bit too high for me.
