One of the transformation centers is located on the bank of Huayang Lake. For a long time, it was like a dark brown, viscous, sloping pool where everyone was dumped as garbage.

The Huayang Lake mentioned in Frank Zelin's article is located in Mayong Town, Dongguan. In recent years, Mayong Town has adopted the ecological management around Huayang Lake to take advantage of the elimination of the 'two highs and one low' industry to release the emerging industry space, combined with geopolitics. , Advantages of transportation and logistics, and development of a smart logistics industry. Pearl River Delta Automotive Expo Center and Tenxun are cooperating to launch a new type of auto retail, and JD Smart Logistics Asia One project is about to start...
The change of Ma Yong Town is a microcosm of the development concept of the “Green Water Castle” in Dongguan City.
- Translation of "Tech-Biotop"
We can talk about structural changes. But this sounds too comfortable and simple. Frank Zelin said that what happened in Dongguan, a city in southern China, was staggering.
For a long time, this city with a population of nearly 10 million is the ugly duckling between Guangzhou, the booming Guangdong provincial capital and Hong Kong's Shenzhen-Miami and Silicon Valley hybrid. Dongguan is the pioneer area for reform and opening up in China for nearly 40 years. One of them. In September 1978, the first 'Three to one' factory was put into operation here: A Hong Kong investor produced a handbag here.
Soon after Dongguan became a manufacturing base in China, the development of the city’s outward-oriented economy also brought a series of negative impacts such as pollution. Especially in the 2008 world financial crisis, Dongguan’s industry was greatly affected. A few years ago, Dongguan began its transformation. Upgrade work.
One of the transformation centers is located on the bank of Huayang Lake. For a long time, it was like a dark brown, viscous, sloping pool where everyone was dumped as garbage.
However, after more than 112 heavily polluting factories were closed, the silt in Huayang Lake was cleared. Four years later, Huayang Lake became an ecological habitat. The lush green vegetation of the lake looks as if they have been in full bloom there.
The drone observes the new ecological balance day and night. At another nearby lake, Songshan Lake has provided housing and preferential policies for start-up companies and entrepreneurs who enjoy state subsidies. The park-like green belt is even better than the street itself. Much wider.
'One of the standards that Dongguan is now measuring is how many rare birds are inhabited here', said Yang Xiaoyu, the Standing Committee member and Minister of Propaganda of the Municipal Party Committee, which mainly engaged in investment promotion. This series of efforts has achieved results: that is, after Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. , Dongguan is one of the last 15 new cities to rise to China's first-tier cities. Ranking depends on people’s brand purchasing power and quality of life. Although one of every five smart phones in the world is still produced in Dongguan, the city is still The United Nations Environment Program rated the 'International Garden City'. The secret is that the factory has not been shut down, but has achieved a high degree of automation: The use of industrial robots is becoming more and more common. The headquarters of Vivo and Oppo, China's leading smartphone makers, are located Dongguan.
However, the biggest shock was when Huawei’s CEO Ren Zhengfei decided to invest US$1.3 billion in the establishment of Huawei’s terminal headquarters besides an hour’s drive to Shenzhen headquarters on the bank of Songshan Lake. The European town of Songshan Lake selected the landmarks of 12 European countries’ beautiful landmarks. Style, such as Oxford University or Heidelberg, Germany. It will eventually accommodate 24,000 employees, some of which have already settled.
In such a short period of time, with this desire to make the transition, we Westerners can only imagine. We just lack such courage.
