On April 9, a district government party group meeting and a standing committee meeting were held in Luohu to convey and study the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech during his inspection of Xiong’an New Area and the symposium on promoting its high-quality construction and development.
The meeting emphasized the need to follow the grand blueprint drawn by the Party Central Committee, firmly grasp the practical requirements of clear direction, clear path, steady pace, and solid implementation, actively learn from Xiong’an’s construction and development experience, adapt measures to local conditions, take reform and innovation as the guide, and enhance Luohu’s internal development momentum. It is necessary to further emancipate the mind, improve the hard skills of reform and innovation, resolutely break inertial thinking and path dependence, boldly explore new methods and models for promoting high-quality construction and efficient governance, solidly implement the construction of six urban areas, and continuously enhance the comprehensive carrying capacity of the district. The industry should always be the key to high-quality development, following the modern industrial system, anchoring goals, pressing forward, focusing on seizing the current window period for industrial development, accelerating investment attraction, building an innovation ecosystem, releasing industrial space, promoting the integrated development of the service industry and advanced manufacturing, and building a modern industrial system with Luohu’s characteristics and advantages to cultivate new momentum for urban development.
Other matters were also discussed at the meeting.

The area builds upon the existing counties of Xiongxian, Rongcheng, and Anxin, and is intended to drive regional economic integration and innovation.
Luohu
Luohu is a central district in Shenzhen, China, known as one of the city’s earliest and most vibrant commercial hubs. Its history dates back to the late 1970s, when it became a key area in Shenzhen’s transformation from a small fishing village into a Special Economic Zone. Today, Luohu is famous for landmarks like the Luohu Commercial City and the Dongmen Old Street shopping area, reflecting its role as a gateway for trade and tourism between Hong Kong and mainland China.

Originally a small fishing village, it rapidly transformed into a global technology and financial hub, attracting massive investment and migration.

Today, it serves as China’s premier financial center, home to the Shanghai Stock Exchange and numerous multinational corporations.
