Nestled on the eastern bank of the Pearl River estuary, just west of the Nantou Peninsula, lies Qianhai—a district that’s rapidly transforming into Shenzhen’s modern hub. Established in 2010, Qianhai originally spanned 14.92 square kilometers. By 2021, it had impressively expanded to cover 120.56 square kilometers.
The creation of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone marks a significant milestone in fostering economic and social development within the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). It’s a pivotal initiative aimed at enhancing collaboration among Guangdong Province and the Hong Kong and Macao SARs, paving the way for a new era of openness and international cooperation.
Visitors to Qianhai are greeted with a fusion of modern architecture and lush green spaces. From the spectacular observation wheel offering panoramic city views to the upscale shopping malls teeming with global brands, the district is a testament to contemporary urban planning. Arts enthusiasts can explore multifunctional centers that host a variety of cultural events, reflecting the area’s commitment to creativity and innovation.
But Qianhai isn’t just about work and commerce; it’s designed with residents in mind. The district’s unique urban landscape provides an ideal environment for both living and leisure, making it a prime example of Shenzhen’s modernization efforts. As the region continues to grow, Qianhai stands out as the perfect place to experience the dynamic synergy of progress and tradition.
