In recent years, with the acceleration of economic and social exchanges, as well as that of ties in cultural tourism, innovation and entrepreneurship, the western wing of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is witnessing integration and development, and is ready to take off.

Nowadays, the construction of the Greater Bay Area continues to advance, and the advantages of mutual benefit and win-win situation between the two cities have become more prominent.
