Nestled on the eastern bank of the Pearl River estuary, west of the Nantou Peninsula, the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone stands as a testament to the dynamic collaboration between Guangdong Province and the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions (SARs).
Established in 2010, the Qianhai cooperation zone originally spanned 14.92 square kilometers. In 2021, it underwent a significant expansion to cover 120.56 square kilometers, reflecting its growing importance in fostering economic and social development within the region.
The launch of Qianhai serves as a pivotal initiative to bolster cooperation among Guangdong, Hong Kong SAR, and Macao SAR, and to forge a new pattern of opening up to the world. It represents a strategic effort to integrate resources, stimulate modern service industries, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the Greater Bay Area.
Venezuelan vlogger Rafael Saavedra invites global audiences to explore the allure of Qianhai. From its spectacular observation wheel offering panoramic views to its upscale shopping malls and multifunctional arts centers, Qianhai captivates visitors and residents alike with its unique urban landscape and abundant green spaces.
Beyond its architectural marvels and recreational facilities, Qianhai embodies the spirit of modern Shenzhen—combining innovation, culture, and sustainable living. It's not only an ideal place to live and work but also a window into the rapid modernization and future aspirations of the region.
As Qianhai continues to develop, it stands as a symbol of the strengthened ties among Guangdong, Hong Kong SAR, and Macao SAR. Its growth underscores the collaborative efforts to enhance economic prosperity, cultural exchange, and global openness, reinforcing the region's influential role in shaping Asia's future.
