The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a city cluster, is one of the most open areas in China with economic vitality.

The greater bay area is composed of nine cities in Guangdong Province including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing, and two special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao.

Looking from the top of Wutong Mountain in Shenzhen, the cities are scattered like stars in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
