The Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone, or Optics Valley of China (OVC), boasts Gaoxin Avenue, which has strung together OVC's trillion-yuan industrial clusters.

Driving on the smooth 14-lane road of the two-direction Gaoxin Avenue, modern buildings flash by on both sides. As the new axis of the Optics Valley Sci-Tech Innovation Corridor, the design of Gaoxin Avenue has adopted cutting-edge concepts and technologies, such as the smart irrigation system.

Hundreds of leading enterprises have converged along Gaoxin Avenue, including Xiaomi, BGI, Sinopharm, Humanwell Healthcare, and Pfizer.
