Nan’ao Subdistrict, located in Dapeng New District, has been recognized as one of Shenzhen’s top 10 demonstration subdistricts for a favorable business environment in 2023, as announced during the 2023 High-quality Economic Development Forum.

Nan’ao boasts abundant mountain and marine resources, offering approximately 11 square kilometers of available land and more than 200 square kilometers of marine area.

As the core area for Dapeng’s ambitious plans to develop world-class coastal ecological tourism, Nan’ao has been instrumental in hosting the world’s largest LEGOLAND theme park, China’s first international dark night community, Shenzhen’s sole national geographical park, the country’s first national-level marine ranching project, and China’s first batch of leisure sports centers.

This year, Nan’ao has seized the new opportunities for high-quality economic growth. The approval for the construction of the East Shenzhen international tourism resort, spanning most of its area within Nan’ao, signifies a significant step forward.

In July, MacDonald’s unveiled a distinctive new store with picturesque surroundings on Haigang Road in Nan’ao, providing customers not only with delicious food but also breathtaking seaside views and sunsets. The restaurant staff expressed their appreciation to the Nan’ao Subdistrict Office for their assistance in choosing the location and obtaining a period of free property lease.

Throughout this year, the subdistrict has proactively formed a dedicated team to assist local enterprises, aiding them in understanding policies and facilitating connections with financial institutions.

During the 2023 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) Maritime Dragon Boat Race held in Nan’ao, the subdistrict successfully attracted 342,500 tourists, significantly boosting revenues for local enterprises.
