Zhuhai National Hi-Tech Industrial Development District

It is also called Zhuhai National Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone.

In December, 1992, the State Council of the People's Republic of China approved the establishment of Zhuhai National High-Tech Industrial Development District, with an initial area of 9.8 square kilometers. Following a 1999 adjustment, it now includes four industrial parks: Nanping (南屏), Sanzao (三灶), Baijiao (白蕉) and Xinqing (新青), and an innovation coast.

The main part of Zhuhai National High-Tech Industrial Development District is located in the northern city of Zhuhai, composed of Tangjia (唐家), Jinding (金鼎), Qi'ao (淇澳), covers an area of 139 square kilometers. To the west and north is Zhongshan City. To the south and southwest is Dongkeng (东坑), Qianshan (前山) and Shenqian (神前), Xiangzhou (香洲). With the main transportation facilities such as Jingzhu Expressway, Western Guangdong Coastal Expressway (广东) and Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Railway running through it, Zhuhai National High-Tech Industrial Development District is the main portal in and out of Zhuhai. It is 18 kilometers north to Macau, 110 km south to Guangzhou, and near to Hongkong and Shenzhen across the sea.

In 1998, the region's developed area was less than one square kilometer. With 13 companies in the area, Zhuhai National High-Tech Industrial Development District's industrial output was 1.8 billion yuan, and 10 million yuan of tax in that year. In 1999 the municipal government adjusted the high-tech zone to the "four parks and one Coast (four technology-based industrial parks and one Innovation Beach)". With rapid economic development, the quantity of the companies in the zone changed from 50 to more than 1000, and its industrial output increased from 11.3 billion yuan to 64.1 billion yuan.

In 2008, the regional GDP (gross domestic product) was 23.2 billion yuan, with an increase of 8%; its above-scale industrial output value was of 112.8 billion yuan, with an increase of 11%; its high-tech enterprise output value was of 49.6 billion yuan, accounting for 44% of the total industrial output, with an increase of 8%; its total export was of 9.95 billion dollars, with an increase of 2%.
