Established infrastructure

The PRD has quite an established infrastructure for the investment of companies. One of the Industrial Cities which we visited was- China South International Industrial Materials City. In this business zone, similar industries were located together. For example, textile industries would be located in the same area, the electronics industries would be located in a separate sector. However, all the various industries would be located in the same industrial zone.

Textile industries located together
You may think how do the various business survive since all the similar business are located together. The environment here is very competitive. The companies have to establish their own distinctive advantage in order to compete with the other similar business. It's the game of "Survivor" over here. Companies that cannot remian competitive will be naturally eliminated.

An industrial city makes it very attractive to foreign investors. They get to compare the prices for a particular good, within the same area, and get the best deal for their own company overseas. Obtaining various resources is also made easy because the industries for various raw materials are organized in a systematic arrangement. There are even little wagons to drive anyone around to tour the various industries and move from place to place.

A mini wagon to bring us on a tour around the Industrial City.

Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge: This is the bridge which is being constructed to improve accessibility to each of these regions. This bridge will not only improve transportation and the time to travel to various regions, trade will also increase in these regions. In Zhuhai, a one-hour boat ride is all that is needed to reach HongKong. The ports in the PRD region are more efficient than the other ports in China.

New Baiyun International Airport: The Chinese authorities are embarking on this new construction project in Guangzhou. This new airport will enhance China's attraction as a business hub, in particular the PRD region.
