Why Do They “Add Notes” to Dali in Nanhai? Decoding the “Mutual Efforts” Between Businesses and Nanhai Dali

On March 31, a city work现场会议 with the theme “Guangfo Same City, Nanhai Takes the Lead” and the 2026 Commercial Trade Dali Work Promotion Conference was held in Dali Town. At the meeting, Luo Weihai, Party Secretary of Dali Town, announced: this year, 55 projects with a total investment of 29.7 billion yuan will be promoted in the Dali area, including Qilong Bay Vitality Business District, Guangfo (Zhongshan Ninth Road) Industrial and Trade Integration Zone, and Qian Deng Lake Central Axis Fashion Headquarters.

In the audience, a group of entrepreneurs who just signed agreements or are about to start project construction are waiting to “go all out” on this热土.

“There are actually many options; we have also examined other cities in Guangzhou and the Greater Bay Area.” Hailing from Macau, entrepreneur He Zhanpeng ultimately decided to establish a new material industry科研孵化基地 with a total investment of 300 million yuan in Dali. Meanwhile, Zhengda Group also decided to invest 30 million yuan to upgrade the Bofeng Lotus Huangqi Store, introducing the mature business model of胖东来超市 and deeply integrating into the Guangfo same city消费圈.

Behind nearly 30 billion yuan of investment, what kind of政企“双向奔赴” is this?

“Hard Environment” and “Soft Services”

The “Guangfo吸引力” in the eyes of enterprises

He Zhanpeng’s connection with Nanhai dates back many years. “Actually, 15 years ago, we already had investments in Foshan Nanhai.” He Zhanpeng, an entrepreneur from Macau, is the chairman of Huiying( Foshan) Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Huiying Zhizao”). When deciding to increase capital and expand production last year, his team considered many other cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Many options were considered. What finally moved him was the “sincerity” and “efficiency” of the Dali Town government in Nanhai District.

In 2026, He Zhanpeng will invest 300 million yuan in Dali Town to develop and build a new material产业孵化基地—Foshan( South China) New Materials Research Institute. As a foreign-invested enterprise, he constantly感慨 the完善的产业配套 in Dali, Nanhai. What convinced him to choose Dali was the government’s high efficiency. “Their measures are very flexible, and for our enterprise, they respond to every request.” He Zhanpeng recalled that during site selection and planning, the government provided very pragmatic and efficient cooperation, which deeply moved them.

“We are very confident in Dali and the Nanhai government.” At the end of the interview, He Zhanpeng left a sentence: “This is our first project, but definitely not the last. In the next two years, we hope to invest in several more projects in Dali.” According to He Zhanpeng, so far, the projects clearly introduced into Dali Town, Nanhai District, include Foshan( South China) New Materials Research Institute, three high-tech enterprises, and two大型工业企业,预计将纳税近20M.

Yang Guiming, general manager of Guangzhou Changjing Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Guangzhou Changjing”), which has relocated its company from Guangzhou to Dali, is also impressed by the “Dali speed.” “I felt the speed and efficiency of Nanhai District, especially Dali Town, which is very considerate.” He expressed the hope to move his headquarters to Dali Town as well. On the day of the event, as one of Dali Town’s重点项目, the headquarters project of Yanmei Intelligent Manufacturing was officially announced to start construction.

Fang Yitao, General Manager of Lian Dong Group Bay Area, is推进 the landing of Lian Dong U Valley·Foshan 科创之星 Phase II project in Dali. The project covers about 32 acres, with a building area of over 84k square meters, focusing on装备制造业 and信息技术产业, and is expected to start桩基打桩 by the end of May this year.

In Fang Yitao’s view, Dali’s locational优势 is “innate.” “Dali is at the junction of Guangfo, with Guangzhou’s热点辐射, Nanhai’s空间, and the服务 of Dali government.” He explained that the project site is very close to Guangzhou, naturally benefiting from Guangzhou’s科教 and科研资源. It is this unique advantage of “Guangfo Same City” that makes Lian Dong Group determined to “deeply cultivate Nanhai and root in Dali.”

“Responding to every request,” “Efficient handling,” “Location advantage”—these high-frequency words from entrepreneurs outline the底色 of Dali’s business environment: not only does it have the locational advantage at the border of Guangfo, but also the温度 of services that make enterprises安心扎根.

New Consumption and New智造

The Industry “向新力” of the Three Major Areas

Zheng Junnan, President of Retail Business China, Guangdong, Zhengda Group, links the “胖改” upgrade of Bofeng Lotus Huangqi Store with the construction of Guangfo (Zhongshan Ninth Road) Industrial and Trade Integration Zone.

“We will learn from the experience of the Sanyuanli store, focus on optimizing the商品供应链, and promote the service理念 of ‘using genuine products to exchange真心,’ making Huangqi Store a community商业中心 centered on极致商品 and真诚服务.” Zheng Junnan said, “A commercial space full of人情味, high cost performance, and comfortable体验 itself is a high-quality城市公共服务配套. The upgraded Huangqi Store will enhance its cross-city吸引力 for residents of Guangfo and beyond, turning the ‘交界地’ into a ‘生活优选地.’”

The “胖改” upgrade of Bofeng Lotus Huangqi Store aligns深度 with Dali Town’s定位 for the 临广三大片区. Meanwhile, Huiying Zhizao’s new材料项目, Lian Dong Group’s 科创之星, Yanmei’s智造总部… a batch of重点项目签约落地 are resonating with the产业布局 of the three major areas.

The conference disclosed that, following the idea of “Guangzhou has hotspots, Guangfo has connections, Nanhai has space,” the focus will be on "one纵一横"布局, coordinating the construction of about 16 square kilometers of 临广 “三生” space. Among them, Qilong Bay Vitality Business District will rely on the foundation of金沙洲直播电商, developing e-commerce operations, cross-border出口, and fashion智造 industries, creating消费场景 that appeal to年轻人, infusing青春活力. Guangfo (Zhongshan Ninth Road) Industrial and Trade Integration Zone will deepen “two业协同,” linking east to Guangzhou Bai E Tan商务区’s “services” and Pazhou Convention and Exhibition Center’s “traffic,” promoting the融合发展 of manufacturing and生产性服务业. Qian Deng Lake Central Axis Fashion Headquarters will布局 fashion创意,总部经济, and滨水文旅 industries, enabling traditional industries to leap towards “fashion.”

From Blueprint to Reality

Dali’s "Five Major Supports"Ensure企业****坚实保障

After the strategic deployment, the blueprint turns into reality. What does it rely on? Luo Weihai, Party Secretary of Dali Town, provided the “five major supports”: expanding空间 capacity, innovating产业,提升城乡 quality, accelerating交通, and enriching人文韵味.

In terms of空间, constructing a “one corridor, two rivers, three districts” pattern, using “集转国” as a突破口, accelerating the连片改造 of村级工业园, ensuring large空间 for大产业. Luo Weihai stated that in the past four years, Dali has整理土地超过6000亩, and in the next five years, another 4000亩 will be completed. In产业, coordinating the cultivation of emerging industries and the转型 of traditional优势产业, promoting traditional商贸向“工储贸一体化”升级. Industries such as盐步内衣,循环经济, and全铝家居 are accelerating towards时尚化,高端化, and数字智能化. In城乡, deepening collaboration with neighboring Guangzhou streets, beautifying the border景观, and enhancing门户形象. In交通, fully supporting the construction of Foshan–Guangzhou–Huanggang intercity rail, tackling key连接线 such as北环东路接广州鹅潭路, and河东中心路接裕海路,织密广佛半小时交通圈. In人文,活化省佛通衢百年文化脉络,贯通岭南水乡文化旅游水脉, making文化同城更有温度.

“We will carry forward the Nezha spirit, abandon superficialities, and strictly prohibit空炮, fully enhancing the ‘Li Tingqi’ service brand, so that entrepreneurs can operate放心, invest安心, and innovate用心 in Dali.” Luo Weihai’s promise is resolute.

From “one encounter” to “一路同行,” from “落子” to “深耕,” behind nearly 30 billion yuan of investment is企业对Dali发展的确定性. As Luo Weihai stated at the meeting: “Choosing the three major areas is choosing the黄金机遇 of Guangfo Same City; investing in Dali is investing in the价值高地 of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.” This政企双向奔赴 is gradually becoming a reality on this热土 at the border of Guangfo.
