Typo on my part should have read 1998 and 1999. Pretty open then, no problems with strange people following you round. The cliffs at Zuhai are pretty much everywhere in town. Heaps of granite on the coast road from Macau to Zuhai central. Plenty of granite around town. There was an old limestone quarry behind the 120 centre (000 emergency centre) near the hospital. I can't remember the name of the road which tunnels straight through a massive granite mountain. There are 200m+ granite walls above the tunnel.
The cliffs near GuangZhou were pretty obvious, 20-30km after the big bridge on the Pearl River delta (GuangZhou side). This bridge looks to be an exact copy of the Anzac bridge in Sydney except two or three times bigger.
The amount of development there is just staggering, they literally throw people at engineering projects. I visited 4 or 5 times over a year or so and they had built 8 lane freeways 100's of km long.
