uangzhou Huangpu, located on the upper end of Guangzhou
the Pearl River Delta and at the heart Huangpu
of the Greater Bay Area, is often referred to as the lustrous pearl on top of
the Pearl River. It is one of 11 districts of Guangzhou, yet the most important 广州黄埔区、
in industrial output. Huangpu generates 48% of the overall industrial GDP of 广州开发区
Guangzhou and 78% of the Hi-tech GDP.

The district started out under the name “Guangzhou Development
District” 36 years ago, as one of the first batch of development districts in
China, on a plot just 9.6 km2 large and with an initial investment of 20,000
RMB. Today it sprawls over an area 50 times larger, covering an area of 484
km2, that includes the Huangpu port area in the east, Science City in the center,
Guangzhou Sino-Singapore Knowledge City in the North, and Bio-Island in the
south close to Guangzhou’s downtown. Huangpu’s revenue too has risen
many folds, with a GDP now standing at over 350 billion RMB in 2019.

From its very inception Guangzhou Development District attracted numerous
international companies and has now the largest concentration of foreign direct
investment in Southern China. More than 3,600 foreign invested companies call
Huangpu their 2nd home, including close to 200 Fortune 500 companies. Among the
largest and most successful examples are many American companies, such as Procter
& Gamble, Coca Cola, and General Electrics.
