Zhuhai - the "Pearl of the Southern China Sea"
One of China's most popular FDI destinations is Zhuhai. With a coastline of over 690 kilometres and over 146 islands, Zhuhai is situated in the mid-south of the Guangdong province, and borders Macau in the south. Zhuhai faces Hong Kong to the east across the sea. Like Shenzhen, in 1980, Zhuhai was designated by the Chinese government as one of the first four special economic zones (SEZ) to be opened to foreign investment. In 2003, Zhuhai's GDP hit US$3500 per capita, several times higher than the national average.
Zhuhai is in a leading position in PCB production with a complete supply chain involving over 20 companies. For many years its pharmaceutical industry output has ranked third in the Guangdong province.
