Guangdong's Zhongshan, alongside Hebei's Zhangjiakou and Sichuan's Zigong, has been honored as a "Livable & Business-friendly City of China 2025" at the 2026 China Real Estate Annual Trend Forum & 26th CIHAF held in Beijing.

This recognition underscores their seamless blend of industrial strengths with high-quality living environments.

Strategically positioned at the geometric heart of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Zhongshan is rapidly transforming from a "geographic center" into a "comprehensive west-coast transportation hub" in the GBA, embracing a new era of Shenzhen-Zhongshan urban integration.

The city now offers 1-hour access to airports in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai, 30-minute direct links to Shenzhen, and 1-hour connectivity to other core GBA cities.

With the Guangzhou Metro Line 18 extension underway and Shenzhen-Zhongshan, Foshan-Zhongshan metro lines in planning, Zhongshan is poised to fully integrate into the "GBA on Rails" network, cementing its reputation as a veritable "Land of Opportunity" and "City of the Future."
