Zhuhai
















The images of the Calligrapher posted in my first entry were taken in Zhuhai, China.
I was there with a small work group to review scenery built by one of our contractors for my area of the themepark. This small industrial/resort city sits on the south coast along the balmy South China Sea, west of Hongkong, and north of Macau. The first of our two nights there, we chatted with a pilot at a local club about landing in Hongkong on the old airport runways.
Apparently, the old entry approach was literally through the city--tips of the plane wings barely touched the highrise buildings on either side. Imagine white-knuckling a commercial airliner down Park Avenue in Manhattan?! The great thing about the new airport are the direct connections to islands like Kowloon and Macau by high speed ferry
.
The images in this post were taken during a walk from our contractor's office to our hotel just before magic hour. I'll be returning to Zhuhai late February.
