Zhongshan is attracting an increasing number of people from Hong Kong and Macao because of convenient traffic and tasty delicacies, Lee said. "I often come to Zhongshan. Many restaurants here boast an elegant environment and serve excellent food. There are also many time-honored restaurants in Zhongshan. I hope more friends in the Greater Bay Area can visit Zhongshan to enjoy the taste of life."
