Чжухай сочетает современную городскую инфраструктуру с природой: здесь много зелёных зон, парков, островов и живописных морских набережных. Город известен комфортными условиями для жизни, развитым общественным транспортом, торговыми и развлекательными центрами. Благодаря крупным университетам и развитой образовательной инфраструктуре Чжухай также является привлекательным местом для иностранных студентов. При этом атмосфера города более спокойная и размеренная, чем в таких крупных мегаполисах, как Гуанчжоу или Шэньчжэнь, что делает его комфортным местом для учёбы и жизни.
