Bao'an has a long history spanning over 1,600 years and is located at the core of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). In 2020, the district's GDP reached 384.687 billion yuan.

Since the reform and opening up, Bao'an has leveraged its geographical advantages near Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the industrial foundation of the Pearl River Delta, to promote high-quality development through institutional innovation. These efforts have yielded significant results, placing Bao'an at the forefront of the nation's institutional innovation. The district's urban development has advanced rapidly, with its economic scale growing steadily, surpassing the 100-billion-yuan threshold, and its industrial clusters experiencing leapfrog development. Looking ahead, Bao'an will continue to lead in promoting the country's high-quality development and contribute further to national growth.

Bao'an District boasts a 49.5-kilometer coastline, rich coastal resources, and a favorable climate. The city is open and inclusive, excelling in economic construction and development, particularly in industries like manufacturing, logistics, exhibitions, and aviation, positioning itself at the forefront of China. With its strong capabilities, Bao'an is well-equipped to integrate with the global sailing industry. The district’s "aviation and navigation" strategy is driving growth—aviation is helping Bao'an soar higher, while navigation is extending its reach further.
