The
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (
GD-HK-MO,
simplified Chinese: 粤港澳大湾区;
traditional Chinese: 粵港澳大灣區) also referred as
Greater Bay Area (
GBA), is a
megalopolis, consisting of nine cities and two
special administrative regions in
South China.
GBA is the largest and most populated urban area and is among the 5th largest bay areas in the world, comparable with the bay areas of
London,
New York,
San Francisco, and
Tokyo.

GBA – with a total population of approximately 71.2 million people (5% of China's total population) – includes nine
mega cities of
Guangdong province:
Guangzhou,
Shenzhen,
Zhuhai,
Foshan,
Dongguan,
Zhongshan,
Jiangmen,
Huizhou, and
Zhaoqing as well as two
special administrative regions Hong Kong and
Macau. Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are also among of the world's 50 “superstar cities”.
[5] Surrounding the
Pearl River Delta with a total area of 56,000 km2 (area of
Croatia) it is the largest and the richest economic region in
South China.
GBA's combined regional
GDP is USD 1,641.97 billion in 2018, which is equivalent to 12 percent of GDP for the whole of mainland
China and would rank GBA as 12th biggest economy in the world (almost of
South Korea’s and more than of
Australia’s).
[6] As one of China's most vibrant and important regions, GBA has a highest concentration of
Fortune 500 companies in the country and houses majority of China's most innovative technology companies, such as
Huawei, a leader in 5G technology,
ZTE, or
DJI, and China's leading internet services company
Tencent (mother company of
WeChat) . At the same time GBA has a rich ecosystem of startups, incubators, and accelerators in the areas of agile tech, biotech, healthtech and
innovation. That make experts to see the region as an emerging
Silicon Valley of
Asia.
