Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai

Bilingual Zhuhai album books of lively photographs and graceful texts brought City of Romance to the fore on the opening day of the four-day Macau International Book Fair 2019 in The Venetian Macau on July 4.

Also released were a series of promotional leaflets spotlighting Zhuhai. The photo album books Zhuhai (Chinese version) and Multifaceted Zhuhai (English version) were marketed with some donated to six Macao charity organizations including the Macao Library.

New photo books donated 

The two album books are published by Beijing-based China Intercontinental Press in collaboration with Zhuhai Magazine Co under the auspices of the Zhuhai Municipal Government Information Office. They contain nearly 200 selected photographs by renowned Chinese and Western photographers with simple and graceful texts serving as strings in between to unfold an environmentally picturesque, open and all-inclusive, positively enterprising, and vigorously vibrant city style.

Min Yuntong, deputy director of the Publicity Department of the CPC Zhuhai Municipal Committee, made remarks at the book launch, saying that Zhuhai is endeavoring to play a key role in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. He said the goal is a gateway hub of the Greater Bay Area, core city on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary, and model of high-quality development for the Coastal Economic Belt. The photo books, therefore, publicize Zhuhai with lively pictures and stories so that a wider range of audience including local residents, tourists, potential overseas investors, and all those who care about Zhuhai gain a better and deeper understanding of the city.
