Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai

A stroll along Shuiwan Bar Street near South Lovers Avenue in Gongbei is like stepping into another reality. Tastefully designed along European lines with multiple exotic cultures, the tree-lined promenade is warmly inviting. All the bars, most of them with outdoor seating, cafes and theme restaurants are conducive to comfort, mingling and making new friends. Or, just hanging out with the one you love -- even if you’re not going into any of the bars -- can be sweetly romantic on its own in this garden setting.
