Guangzhou's Huangpu has been shortlisted as one of China's happiest districts during this year's survey by Oriental Outlook magazine and the Liaowang Institute think tank.
The district boasts a prominent ecological environment with blue sky and green water that can be seen everywhere. Locals can admire Mucuna Birdwoodiana Tutch in the spring, lotus flowers in summer, golden paddy fields in the autumn, and plum blossoms in the winter.
Food lovers can whet their appetites over steamed Nangang fish-stuffed buns, Sham Tseng roasted goose, Hengsha pigeon, Tanka rice cakes and Huangpu eggs.
The local basic social insurance coverage rate has exceeded 98 percent. A group of hospitals are under construction in Huangpu so that urban residents can access medical treatment in 15 minutes and rural residents can access medical treatment in 30 minutes.
In addition, the district also gathers a great deal of high-quality education resources including the ISA Science City International School and the Guangzhou SingChin Academy, which is the first overseas cooperative project of the Singapore Hwa Chong family of schools.
Huangpu is hailed by entrepreneurs as the nearest place to succeed. It has ranked first among national economic development zones for two consecutive years in the business environment index, and generated much experience in administrative examination and approval, as well as intellectual property rights exertion and protection that can be promoted nationwide.
Huangpu leads the country with its top-ranking business environment.
