Xiangzhou Cultural Activity Center

The provincial cultural arts center is to be a large venue for reading, watching movies, various types of training, and recreational activities.

The site in Nanping Town off Zhuhai Avenue is near historic Beishan Village. It covers 18,849 sq m (4.7 acres) and will have 52,954 sq m (13 acres) of floor space.

The architectural style is said to be novel and distinctive.

Haibin Beach Tourist Service Center

Designed for tourists at the popular Haibin Beach (City Parlor) in Jida, the service center will harmonize with natural surroundings. It is sited on a hillside facing Central Lovers Avenue, behind Zhuhai Dehan Hotel and across the avenue from the seaside.

A multi-layered terrace garden will add a distinctive touch and create a greenish effect, according to the architects. Furthermore, a sightseeing belt, already home to attractions such as Xianglu Bay Beach and the Fisher Maiden Statue, is to be enhanced by it.
