The capital of Guangdong Province, a national historical and cultural city, an important central city in my country, an international business center and a comprehensive transportation hub... In February this year, the State Council officially approved Guangzhou's positioning as a frontier city. In the future, Guangzhou will strengthen in-depth cooperation with Hong Kong and Macao and become an important hub of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The Nansha area of the Guangdong Free Trade Zone will be built into a demonstration zone for in-depth cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
Focusing on the goal of building an important central city, Guangzhou's three major international "hubs" will support the future of the "center".
Nansha New District, located at the southern end of Guangzhou, is located at the estuary of the Pearl River. It is Guangzhou’s only access to the sea and is the geographical center and hub of the Greater Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration. On April 21 last year, Nansha New Area, together with Qianhai in Shenzhen and Hengqin in Zhuhai, ushered in the official launch of the China (Guangdong) Pilot Free Trade Zone. Aiming at the international shipping hub, Nansha New Area sets sail.

In 2015, the container throughput of Nansha Port reached 11.77 million TEUs, ranking 12th in the world. At the same time, the shipbuilding industry in Nansha New Area also has bright prospects. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, CSSC will invest 15 billion yuan to build a marine equipment industry base in Nanshalon Point, with Guangzhou as the base to further radiate the Beibu Gulf and Southeast Asia.
