Zhuhai to replace Chang Ping? Not likely!
Some has mentioned about the possible emergence of Zhuhai as the mongering destination to replace Chang Ping's recent demise, but IMHO, this is not likely to happen.
One must not forget that Zhuhai used to be the sauna center of Southern China with all sorts of facilities and price levels. And the scene there is now still a pitiful shadow of its former glory.
The same with the KTV scene. Prior to the big bust of the 400 odd Japanese partying / orgying in 2003, and of course the same with the famous walking ladies of LinHuaLu, then, literally numbering in the hundreds of them at any time of the day and night, parading their wares. And long before Chang Ping gained its notoriety as the Sex capital of Southern China, Zhuhai had already a well-entrenched and solid reputation for offering everything that a great mongering destination should offer.
In fact, I'd think that Chang Ping is probably going to take a copy book from all that Zhuhai has gone through the past decade which has turned it into the "Garden City" that it has transformed itself into nowadays. The only problem is of course that Chang Ping does NOT have all the fabulous natural scenery, the good clean air and having Macau as its hinterland.
Zhuhai has been able to capitalize on the fact that Macau is only a convenient walk over the Gongbei border to offer much cheaper accommodations, food and shopping as an alternative to the high Macau prices. Chang Ping is a dump too far away to attract any "regular" visitors.
But yeah, the decade long transformation of Zhuhai had not been an easy exercise for anybody, and I would think that the powers-that-be are not going to let such gains achieved to go down the drain by allowing Zhuhai to revert back to its former bad ways.
Just IMHO.

Recent visit to the umbrella stands did not yield any familiar faces sitting along with screaming bunny-ear Beer Girls . However LHL street gals parade went on unchecked by LE. Lots of cute dressed gals giving out phone numbers just South of the stands. ,,, "lets play" they say. Coming from Hunan ,GuangXi , Dongbei It's their game. Haaa YMMV with the 300 RMB quote, One gal insisted "NO MORE THAN 30 minutes". Compare that with 600-800 RMB sauna prices in Zhuhai if you find hotels offering the service. Many remain closed after the new year.
P.S. SEAJoe, Also a Super shopping mall 4 miles Northwest just opened in June. Beats Gongbei night market style displays. !!
They develop super mall in Zhuhai -- perhaps take your mind off LHL

Fast eddie 48.[/QUOTE] LHL umbrella stands have decimated to 25percent the original numbers. A 80-day old mega mall & cinema development unlike LHL ,for dinner dates / shopping. . It is big enough to provide Free shuttle from 6 locations.
Fast Eddie, stick around but it is not Pattaya. Go fish with worm this EL Nino year.
