Seaside Park
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.
