About this audio guide
This guide to Jiuzhou Island in Zhuhai follows the merchant ships that once worked the western mouth of the Pearl River, and the small rocky islet they kept steering toward. It draws on a Qing-era gazetteer by the scholar Wei Yuan and the old name of the Nine Star islets. Best heard on the stone steps toward the summit, with the boulders and caves of the shore below you.
