China 2 West has sales and support offices around the world and multiple quality control and engineering locations within China, predominantly positioned close to manufacturing hubs. We’d like to introduce our City Guide series, taking an in-deep look at the Chinese cities we’re operating in and showing the city’s specializations of production. Let’s dive in.
Overview
The last city introduced for our city guide is the beautiful city of Zhuhai. China 2 West’s headquarter is located in Zhuhai and that is for a good reason.
Zhuhai is a prefecture-level city located on the west bank of the Pearl River estuary on the central coast of southern Guangdong province. Boasting a desirable position, Zhuhai is neighbored by Jiangmen to the west, Zhongshan to the north, and Macau to the southeast. Moreover, Zhuhai also has coastal borders with Shenzhen and Hong Kong to the northeast that are divided by a tidal inlet.
The history of Zhuhai can be traced back to the Neolithic Age when the ancient people were living in the area of what is currently known as Zhuhai four-to-five-thousand years ago. In Qin Dynasty (221-206BC), the government set up an administrative department in the region. In 1980, China first started implementing the concept of Special Economic Zones in its southeastern coastal regions, with Zhuhai being one of the five. Through the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge in October 2018, Zhuhai has been endowed with the distinction of being the only city in China with a roadway connection between these two modern regions which were geographically close but separated by water. At the beginning of 2019, Zhuhai became an integral part of the Greater Bay Area, allowing Zhuhai to be a base for innovative companies, talent, capital, technology, and culture.
According to the report of the third national land survey in 2022, Zhuhai covers 1,725 square kilometers and has a population of about 2.46 million inhabitants at the end of 2021.
Economic Profile
Zhuhai’s six pillar industries are the electric power energy industry, biomedicine industry, petrochemical industry, home appliance industry, precision machinery manufacturing industry, and electronic information industry while printing supplies and yacht manufacturing are the other two special industries.
In 2021, Zhuhai generated total fiscal revenue of 44.82 billion yuan, up by 18.6%. The GDP of Zhuhai reached 388.18 billion yuan, an increase of 6.9% compared to the previous year. The per capita GDP accounted for 157,400 yuan, ranking the 10th city with the highest GDP per capita in China.
The city experienced an international trade value of 332.00 billion yuan, an upsurge of 21.5%. Exports climbed to 188.60 billion yuan, rising by 17.3%, while imports declined to 143.40 billion yuan.
Development Zones
Zhuhai has multiple development zones that have helped propel the city into economic success. There are four national-level development zones, including Zhuhai Economic and Technological Development Zone, Zhuhai High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Zhuhai Bonded Zone, and Zhuhai-Macao Cross-border Industrial Zone. And two provincial-level development zone, including Zhuhai Fushan Industrial Park, and Zhuhai Jinwan Liangang Industrial Park. Each of these offers various possibilities for development and investment.
