ZhaoShang
A Brief Introduction of Zhaoshang Sub-district
First established in February 1991, the Shuiwan sub-district was later renamed the Zhaoshang sub-district in November 1993. It is located in the south of Nantou Peninsula which is in the southwest of Nanshan District, with hills and sea nearby. Its landmarks,such as Sea World, the Prince Bay Cruise Terminal, Chiwan Tianhou Temple, Zuopaotai, and Songshaodi Mausoleum are famous attractions. China’s (Guangdong) Shekou Free-Trade Zone, covering an area of 13.2-square-kilometers, is also located in this sub-district.
With a total area of 20.14 square kilometers, the sub-district is divided into eleven community committees – Chiwan, Wuwan, Shuiwan, Huaguoshan, Yanshan, Taohuayuan, Sihai, Lanyuan, Guiyuan, Wenzhuyuan, Haiyue – as well as two designated areas of agricultural based holding enterprises. Zhaoshang sub-district stands out as one of the few in Shenzhen where the permanent resident household (99,000 units) outnumbers its temporary counterpart (75,000 units). It has 3083 CPC members under 238 party units, and 6547 foreign residents from 100 different countries.
Shenzhen is the embodiment of China’s development, while Nanshan is that of Shenzhen. Zhaoshang is, in fact, a pioneer of Shenzhen’s Reform and Opening-Up Program. With such a reputation, residents are energized with high innovations.
