SUMMARY:

Shekou was once a “small place” that led the trend of reform. At the beginning of the reform and opening-up 34 years ago, Shekou was 2.14 square kilometers in size. After more than 30 years of development, Shekou today covers an area of only 10.85 square kilometers. The former reform pioneer, Shekou Industrial Zone has ushered in an important opportunity for industrial upgrading and urban renewal against the background of the central government's proposal of transforming the economic growth mode.
