Delegation Trip

The Longgang Digital Creative Corridor in Shenzhen has been honoured as a “National-Level Cultural Industry Demonstration Park,” establishing a new cultural tourism landmark in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area through immersive technological innovation scenarios. As a pivotal hub along the Shenzhen-Hong Kong innovation axis, the corridor pioneered the “Hong Kong-Longgang Sci-Tech Cultural Experience Belt,” featuring 12 themed scenes, including a digital twin exhibition hall, a cross-border maker lab, and an AI art workshop, forming an innovation ecosystem for young entrepreneurs from both Shenzhen and Hong Kong.Visitors can witness real-time cross-border content creation in 5G+8K film production at the Greater Bay Area Youth Maker Market. The corridor also features a specially designed “Policy Innovation Experience Hall,” which uses interactive installations derived from 25 research findings across seven key areas by the Longgang District CPPCC, allowing the public to engage hands-on with a virtual policy sandbox and observe the synergistic transformation of “sci-tech + industry”. This project is the first to introduce a “Visualized Innovation Policy” navigation system, transforming mechanisms like joint Shenzhen-Hong Kong R&D subsidies and cross-border intellectual property protection into AR interactive games. Visitors can witness Longgang's intelligent manufacturing base's industrial transformation along a 3.2-kilometre holographic projection corridor.This nationally certified innovation corridor is rapidly evolving—adding three new sci-tech and art-integrated scenarios each month—toward becoming the first integrated cultural-tech tourism complex in the Greater Bay Area that unites government, industry, academia, research, and application. It is expected to welcome over 2 million innovation experience visitors annually, establishing itself as a cultural landmark showcasing a uniquely Chinese modernisation innovation paradigm.

In 2024, China’s “Two Sessions” (National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference) included the low-altitude economy in the Government Work Report for the first time, officially recognising it as a strategic emerging industry. To help Hong Kong youth seize this new national development opportunity, the Hong Kong Exporters’ Association has specially organised a Greater Bay Area Low-Altitude Economy Site Visit Program.As the country vigorously promotes the development of the low-altitude economy, Guangdong Province—leveraging Shenzhen’s role as an innovation engine—has become a national model in areas such as drone R&D, airspace management systems, and the expansion of application scenarios.

As a core city of the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong not only possesses world-class telecommunications infrastructure but also holds unique advantages across the low-altitude industry chain, including technology R&D (upstream), system integration (midstream), and cross-border logistics applications (downstream). The Hong Kong SAR Government is actively reserving dedicated space for take-off and landing facilities, data centres, and regulatory platforms in planning the Northern Metropolis and the Lok Ma Chau Loop Shenzhen-Hong Kong Innovation and Technology Cooperation Zone to support the low-altitude economy.This site visit will lead students to explore benchmark projects in Guangdong and Hong Kong. It will allow them to witness firsthand the deep integration of three-dimensional transportation networks with the digital economy while broadening their horizons for participating in developing national strategic emerging industries.
