Contemplating in Zhuhai

Zhuhai was relaxing but still feels rush. This whole China trip feels rush that I seams to be moving from place to place without really stopping. It seams different from the RTW I did so long ago where I could really take control of the pace. China somehow force me to move and indirectly that cost my average spending to go up.

It was either a VISA time limit problem or a distance problem or a location stay issue. Non touristy area had expensive accomodation since no hostel was available for digging in a few days hence always moving faster than usual, however big cities had lousy smoking hostel that somehow drain more energy than usual. I end up moving more frequently due to the enviroment not condusive enaugh to chill out.

I think the few place I did chill out was in Suzhou and Zhangjiajie. Some places were even moving everyday within the same location.

Zhuhai was like that, stay at a hostel the first night and the next day check out to find another place to stay in Zhuhai. Weird thing was I tot the hostel was expensive at RMB 75 a night so might as well upgrade to a full hotel for RMB 135 but turns out the Hotel was worst then the hostel. Although a private room, the room had no wifi, the laundry had no dryers and worst yet the bed was not as comfortable as the hostel in Zhuhai.

Other than that, Zhuhai was a lovely place to lay back in a sense. Dull enaugh to not be a endorphine addiction yet plenty of small things to see to keep one occupied slightly that its not just another city.

Walk along the beach and take pictures of monuments, walk along Gongbei Port and see people shopping, walk along the old Pub street which became a nightclub street looking super expensive. I dare not go in fearing how costly it would be. In a way not my primary poison. If it was Macau ,... I would have walked in the most expensive Casino for a look without a thought.

Before the temptation of Daytrip to Macau became too great, I left Zhuhai quickly for Yangjiang but that was just a transit which led me to Hailin Island.
