GUANGZHOU, China, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — News report from South.
 
The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) was included in the draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for national economic and social development, as well as in China’s Government Work Report.
The development of the GBA has been featured in China’s Five-Year Plan for three consecutive periods and written into the Government Work Report for ten consecutive years.
In 2016, China’s 13th Five-Year Plan initiated the goal of "promoting the construction of the GBA and major cross-provincial cooperation platforms."

In just one decade, the GBA—occupying less than 0.6% of China’s land—has grown into an economic powerhouse, contributing one-ninth of the nation’s GDP.
From landmark infrastructure and policy breakthroughs to cross-border collaboration and people-to-people bonds, this is the story of a vision realized and a future unfolding. Click on this video to recap these memorable 10 years.
