The development zone was established in 1984. It is located at 30 kilometres away from the west of Guangzhou downtown. It has a developed area of 17.67 square kilometres. It is located at about 50–100 km away from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport [1] and its closest port is Shenzhen Port.[2]

There are six pillar industries in the zone, including chemical materials and products, electric machinery, foodstuffs, electronic equipment, metallurgy and metal fabricating, and beverages. The zone was merged to Luogang District, a new-form district in Guangzhou, in 2005.[3][4]
