The report proposes to offer a high-quality dwelling environment, high-level public service facilities and commercial service facilities to the Pearl Bay area with spillover space reserved for the central business district.

The Pearl Bay development area is recognized as the high-end business district and leading headquarters economic zone in all of Nansha district.

In the past five years it has absorbed a large number of headquarters projects of companies like CCCC Urban Investment Holding Company as well as the CRCC Harbor and Channel Engineering Bureau.

Another objective of Hengli town is to build an ecotourism demonstration plot based on local natural and rural cultural resources, showing its waterside town features.

The tourism plot' s layout form is expected to be "one axis, four belts and three clusters".

"Three clusters" refers to three different functional zones including living quarters, a service quarter and an ecotourism quarter with a highway serving as the spatial development axis and four waterfront belts as ecological corridors.
