On the Chinese mainland, nine cities are part of the Greater Bay Area region, all of them located in Guangdong province: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing.

However, growth rates on the mainland are considerably higher than in Hong Kong and Macao. This is especially true for Shenzhen, which is famous for its past economic boom and has developed into a bustling high-tech location, home to the well-known computer and internet giants Huawei and Tencent.
