"2/3 of qianhai is in bao'an, and 1/5 of bao'an belongs to qianhai", highlighting "acting in bao'an, using qianhai's advantages, and creating a demonstration in the bay area", is a vivid annotation of the integrated development of bao'an and qianhai.

on september 5, the 2024 tencent global digital ecosystem conference was held at the shenzhen international convention and exhibition center. this tencent's highest-level, largest-scale, and most extensive event has been held here for three consecutive years since 2022.

enterprises are the main players in the market and are most sensitive to market information and opportunities. as an internet giant, tencent has made two key layouts for cutting-edge technologies in the qianhai area of ​​baoan, which is of great representative significance.

in 2021, the national strategy of qianhai expansion was implemented. the area of ​​the cooperation zone expanded from 14.92 square kilometers to 120.56 square kilometers, of which 82.75 square kilometers of bao'an district were included in qianhai. "two-thirds of qianhai is in bao'an, and one-fifth of bao'an belongs to qianhai", highlighting "doing things in bao'an, using qianhai's advantages, and creating a model for the bay area", is a vivid annotation of the integrated development of bao'an and qianhai.

over the past three years, in addition to the "hard core" of major national strategies and grand development plans, the daily perceptions and investment steps of enterprises and the public have "pieced together" a promising picture of the integrated development of qianhai.

brand effect: these place names are quietly changing

"i don't know when it started, but there are a lot of large shopping malls, parks and some businesses in the surrounding area that have the word 'qianhai' in front of their names." xiao jin, who lives in the central area of ​​bao'an, is a part-time blogger on xiaohongshu. on her account "xiao jin is a bit sweet", she often shares the food and scenery of bao'an. in her impression, in the pictures and texts shared in the past two years, "qianhai" has become a standard feature of the place names of businesses in more and more business promotions. "for example, yifangcheng, which is familiar to bao'an people, has been renamed qianhai yifangcheng. the xiwan-qianhaiwan slow path, which has recently become popular on social platforms, is 6 kilometers long and smoothly connects the central area of ​​bao'an and the central area of ​​qianhai, with everything available for cycling, walking and running."

xiao jin's subtle perception is the concrete expression of the "big picture" of qianhai's development in people's lives. for many companies, the word "qianhai" is a manifestation of the company's strength and brand effect.

"we are very optimistic about the development prospects of qianhai. after the project is added with 'shenzhen qianhai', it will not only be conducive to attracting investment, but also allow tourists to have a clearer understanding of the project's location." the person in charge of the shenzhen qianhai huafa ice and snow world project told reporters. the shenzhen qianhai huafa ice and snow world, which is under construction, is located in shajing street, bao'an district, within the scope of the qianhai expansion area. after completion, it will become the world's largest and the domestically highest indoor super snow center. for the cultural and tourism industry, the radiation capacity of "shenzhen qianhai" is a resounding golden signboard.

driving effect: a landmark activates a chain

"this is the tencent penguin island i took in 2021. it was still an empty lot at the time. these are the photos and videos i took again last month. netizens lamented that it felt like a science fiction movie." in a cafe in bao'an central district, photographer and blogger liu qinglin showed reporters the latest video of tencent penguin island that he had just posted on the video account.

in 2019, photography enthusiast liu qinglin came to bao'an and began to record the changes in the city with his camera. qianhai stone park, bao'an central district, international convention and exhibition center, shenzhen-zhongshan link... every year, he uses his camera to keep up with the pace of development of this urban area and witness the birth of one bay area landmark after another in daqianhai.

after the expansion, qianhai has not only expanded in area. with the "expansion" of policy dividends, the story of "a landmark activating a chain" is unfolding.

tencent's "penguin island" has a driving effect on the surrounding areas, and has demonstrated its real "cash power". at present, tencent-related companies including tencent tianyou, tencent cloud technology, tencent feitai technology, etc. have quietly laid out in bao'an, thereby driving upstream and downstream companies to rush in.
