The Hetao Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone is situated in the northern part of the HKSAR and the central-southern part of Shenzhen, spanning an area of 3.89 square kilometers. Its two sections are separated by the Shenzhen River, with the 0.87-square-kilometer Hong Kong Park on the southern bank and the 3.02-square-kilometer Shenzhen Park on the northern bank. These two parks are seamlessly connected through the Futian Port and Huanggang Port -- the two land gateways that facilitate a direct linkage between Shenzhen and the HKSAR.

Key Points: 
  • A wave of scientific and technological innovation is sweeping across both Shenzhen and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).
  • Its two sections are separated by the Shenzhen River, with the 0.87-square-kilometer Hong Kong Park on the southern bank and the 3.02-square-kilometer Shenzhen Park on the northern bank.
  • These two parks are seamlessly connected through the Futian Port and Huanggang Port -- the two land gateways that facilitate a direct linkage between Shenzhen and the HKSAR.
  • "The City University of Hong Kong is only a thirty- to forty-minute journey away from here," said Prof. Chen Fu-Rong, director of the City University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Research Institute, who is researching electron microscopes at the Shenzhen Park.
