Luohu redefined as an all-embracing hub in the Greater Bay Area

With its public resources greatly enriched and business environment significantly improved, Luohu is being redefined as an all-embracing hub district in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, said Luo Yude, secretary of the CPC Luohu Committee during an interview with Shenzhen TV.

On October 22, a week after Shenzhen celebrated its 40th anniversary of establishment as a Special Economic Zone, Luohu launched an investment promotion event to attract enterprises from across the world. Twelve key enterprises signed contracts with Luohu district government, with a total contracted value surpassing 120 billion yuan.

More than 1.5 million square meters of land and 9.9 million square meters of industrial space will be available for business development in the future, according to the district government.

Speaking of Luohu's redefinement, Lu said: "As long as enterprises and their planned projects conform to the industrial plan and serve the program of high-quality development, we shall provide them with sufficient land, space and preferential policies."

Explaining why Luohu should be defined as a hub district in the Greater Bay Area, he said the key elements were that it was located in the central part of Shenzhen and possessed an advanced transport network.

Adjacent to Hong Kong, Luohu has three ports, which make the district the first choice for Hong Kong people who wish to work and live in Shenzhen. Connecting Shenzhen with Hong Kong both emotionally and geographically, Luohu has grown into an important area for Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation.

With the upgraded Shenzhen Railway Station and the Luohu North Railway Station now under construction, the district will definitely become a hub facilitating the development of the Pearl River Delta and the Greater Bay Area.

As the earliest-founded district in Shenzhen, Luohu has functioned as a center of finance and business. In the district, one can enjoy a traditional or modern life as one likes. You can enjoy the city life while embracing the beauty of nature, stroll around a high-end commercial complex or taste a local delicacy by the side of a busy business street.

The jewelry and arts and crafts industries are rooted in Luohu and have become well known across the country. In this place, high quality education and affordable medical care service are accessible. Led by an efficient government, Luohu is a livable and blessed land in which to develop a career, concluded Luo.
