As the 2022 Chinese New Year is just around the corner, Dapeng New District is brimming with the strong, fresh, and happy vibes of the Year of the Tiger. To mark the festival, international talents in Dapeng took us on a journey of discovering what was happening in the New District. They introduced us to local intangible cultural heritages and expressed their love to and best wishes for Dapeng.

Ever since the Dapeng Subdistrict Office was designated as one of the first-batch units in the city to pilot an international talent community program, the Dapeng International Talent Community has been striving to improve services to attract talents. The International Talent Community has continuously strived to offer development opportunities to introduce talents, provide quality services to gather talents, and create a diverse environment so that talents can give full play to their capabilities.

As a result, the Dapeng Subdistrict Office has made multiple breakthroughs in the work of international talents and provides them with a sense of belonging.

On the occasion of the Spring Festival, the Dapeng Subdistrict Office of Dapeng New District joined hands with the Government Services and Data Management Bureau of Dapeng New District to release the video “We Are Dapengers” to invite our international talents to join in sending our New Year wishes to China and to the world.
