The Best Leverage! - Greater Bay Area 

With a population stands over 86 million, a GDP equivalent to that of Australia and R&D investment in excess of RMB250 billion, the Greater Bay Area (GBA)’s nine municipalities (e.g. Zhuhai) and two SARs (e.g. Hong Kong) are a leading global force across industries ranging from finance and technology to advanced manufacturing and biotech. The city cluster creates regional competitive advantages, rivaling international metropolitan bay areas such as those of Tokyo, New York and San Francisco.

Dubbed the city of romance and the city of a hundred islands, Zhuhai has so much to offer for exploration and achieved constant rapid economic development since its establishment as a special economic zone in 1980s.  Now a high-tech industrial corridor dedicated to industries like IT, biotech, new energy and advanced manufacturing, Zhuhai’s economic strength and technological competence have been greatly enhanced by the development of the cooperation zone in Hengqin. Equipped with world-class infrastructure such as Hengqin International Commercial Centre and Henqin International Science & Technology Innovation Centre, etc., Zhuhai is poised to become a leading destination for businesses, investors, and tourists alike.

Zhuhai is considered “China's most liveable city” for its clean air and proximity to the sea with convenient connections to Hong Kong and Macau. One of China's premier tourist destinations, it offers a pulsating nightlife and an unbeatable quality of life.
