The Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre is a hub for contemporary arts and culture in one of the most dynamic areas worldwide. It is situated in the heart of Aviation New City, which spans 4.78 million square meters and houses 100,000 inhabitants.

Additionally, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, recently built, enables people from Shenzhen and Hong Kong to reach Zhuhai in under an hour.
