Nansha: A coastal defense fortress, a treasure of the South China Sea
The Humen Waterway, where Nansha is located, is a famous military seaport in the modern Chinese history. In the middle of the 19th century, it was the main battlefield of the Opium War. Many fort sites have been left behind along the coast, witnessing the glorious history of the Chinese nation's indomitable resistance against foreign aggression.

Nansha Bay: Time flies, things move on, we have bright prospects
Coming to modern times, Nansha Bay, the closest area to the Humen Waterway in Nansha District, is still a remote and quiet small fishing village. Since the end of the 1980s, Fok Ying Tung Group and the local government have invested in the construction of Nansha Bay: reclamation, bridge, road, and dock construction... They have made great efforts to build a solid foundation for the economic development of Nansha Bay. At present, the regional development trend is very good, and the prospects of Nansha Bay are shining brightly.
