Greater Bay Area 7 Days: Supply Chain Exploration Tour

The Guangdong Greater Bay Area is a "super hub" within the global supply chain network. From raw ceramics to smart home products, from circuit boards to new energy storage systems, the industrial ecosystem here reveals the secrets behind the transformation from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China."

Economic Powerhouse: With a GDP exceeding $1.9 trillion (2023), the Greater Bay Area ranks as the world's 10th largest economy.
Innovation Engine: Home to tech giants like Huawei and DJI, along with over 500,000 small and medium-sized enterprises driving innovation.
Supply Chain Core: From "Made in Foshan" to "Smart Manufacturing in Dongguan," the Greater Bay Area has built a "one-hour industrial support circle," covering the full value chain in electronics, home furnishings, and new energy sectors.
Gateway to Global Markets: With free trade zones in Nansha (Guangzhou) and Qianhai (Shenzhen), the region serves as a strategic bridge for foreign businesses entering China and Southeast Asia.

This journey will take you to the heart of the supply chain: from customized production lines at a home furnishing factory in Foshan, to high-precision workshops at an electronics company in Dongguan, and the cross-border logistics hub at Guangzhou Airport. You’ll discover how the Greater Bay Area reshapes global business rules through its "one-hour industrial circle" while gaining insights into the cultural DNA that powers supply chain efficiency.
