The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), a vision championed by Chinese President Xi Jinping since 2012, has evolved into a thriving economic reality, integrating Hong Kong, Macao, and nine cities in Guangdong's Pearl River Delta.

• The GBA spans 56,000 square kilometers and generated 14.79 trillion yuan ($2.09 trillion) in GDP last year, roughly one-ninth of China's GDP.
• The development framework was officially launched with a framework agreement signed in 2017, witnessed by President Xi.
• The GBA is home to over 80 million people and is recognized as one of the world's major bay areas, alongside San Francisco, Tokyo, and New York.
• The recent joint hosting of the 15th National Games by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao demonstrates increasing regional integration.
• Entrepreneur Sing Chan moved from Hong Kong to Shenzhen in 2015 to establish his company, observing firsthand the rapid transformation of areas like Qianhai.
