Dongguan Songshan Lake High-tech Industrial Development Zone accelerates to build a scientific and innovative highland in the world

The Songshan Lake Science City. 

The Songshan Lake High-tech Industrial Development Zone is located in Dongguan, also in the central area of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). It is one of the major innovation platforms of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao Science and Technology Innovation Corridor and ranks 21st in the overall ranking of hi-tech zones in China.

In 2001, Dongguan set up the Songshan Lake Science and Technology Industrial Park, with a planning area of 72 square kilometers. It has a beautiful ecological environment with nearly 8 square kilometers of freshwater lakes. At present, the total planned area of the park is 163 square kilometers (including the Eastern Industrial Park).
