For the first time, Hong Kong is co-hosting the Games alongside Guangdong and Macau. At a joint press conference in Beijing with representatives from all three hosting regions, Chan said the Games will further create new opportunities for sports exchanges, people-to-people connections and economic collaboration in the Greater Bay Area. "To facilitate mainland visitors coming to Hong Kong to watch the events, the organising committee is actively seeking measures for mainland residents to easily obtain travel permits to Hong Kong, allowing tourists to travel alongside the competitions and further promoting the integration of sports and tourism in the Greater Bay Area," he said. Chan said the three regions have established a multi-tiered coordination system, including regular meetings and cross-border working groups, to streamline logistics like spectator mobility. Echoing the focus on accessibility, Macau's Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, O Lam, revealed plans to extend travel permits for visitors attending events in Macau, aiming to enhance "connectivity of hearts" through "soft connectivity". Meanwhile, Wang Xi, standing committee member of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, said the online ticketing platform will be launched in early August. "In late August, we will release ticket resources in phases and by events according to the progress of the competition organisation. The prices of popular events are generally affordable, and some events adopt a reservation system," he said. Wang also noted that plans for the opening ceremony in Guangzhou and closing ceremony in Shenzhen are nearly finalised. Both events will spotlight Greater Bay Area culture, including Cantonese opera and music, and feature a unified entrance for athlete delegations from all three hosts. A 100-day countdown begins August 1 with Guangdong and Macau holding special events that day. The following day, Hong Kong will host a large-scale celebration, followed by a city-wide sports day. Tong Lixin, deputy director of the General Administration of Sport, said all competition venues are nearing readiness, the Games schedule is finalised and more than half of 68 test events have been completed. He said mass participation events are also underway, reinforcing the Games' community focus.

Three years on, Zhongshan shows visible progress in "High-Quality Development Project"
ZHONGSHAN, China, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the launch of the "High-Quality Development Project for Counties, Towns and Villages," Zhongshan City has implemented the "1310" development strategy put forward by CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee. Guided by these principles and following the directives given by Huang Kunming, Secretary of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, during his visit to Zhongshan, the city has made this initiative its top priority. After three years of determined effort, the project is now yielding visible and meaningful results. Zhongshan has advanced the project by focusing on transformation and upgrading of inefficient industrial parks in villages and towns and water pollution control. Over the past three years, the city has cleared and redeveloped more than 48,000 mu (around 3,200 hectares) of inefficient industrial land across its villages and towns. These efforts have laid the groundwork for ten major cross-town industrial clusters in sectors such as new energy, biomedicine, smart home technologies, and new materials. The renewed land has attracted nearly 190 billion yuan (US$26.37 billion) in new investment. Zhongshan's industrial investment has maintained double-digit growth for 29 consecutive months, doubling in size over the past three years. Village-level collective property values have generally increased more than tenfold, resulting in a dramatic transformation of the urban-rural landscape. Huang highly recognized the initiative as a true development and livelihood project. Zhongshan's commitment to water pollution control has also delivered impressive results. Its three-year battle to tackle water pollution earned strong recognition from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), the South China Inspection Bureau of the MEE, the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee and the provincial government. China Environment News ran a front-page feature on Zhongshan's achievements, hailing the city's efforts as a high-scoring answer sheet in water management and a model for building beautiful rivers and lakes. Through the twin drivers of industrial renewal and water governance, Zhongshan has unlocked broader momentum in high-quality development. For 20 consecutive months, investment in technological upgrades has grown at over 15%. The city now ranks first in the Pearl River Delta in the digital transformation rate of its enterprises above designated size and was selected as a national pilot city for the digitalization of small and medium-sized enterprises. Zhongshan is also promoting the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism. Under its "1-1-1-3-8" tourism development strategy, the city is shaping a new city brand that combines authentic local charm with the vibrant, high-quality lifestyle of the Greater Bay Area. In 2024, tourist visits to Zhongshan rose by 24.3%, while tourism revenue jumped 28.2%. Zhongshan has launched a series of targeted campaigns to improve the rural living environment, focusing on issues such as makeshift field huts, enclosed barriers, transport hubs, and under-bridge spaces. The city has completed 23,000 clean-up and renovation tasks under its "three-line" initiative—referring to the relocation and repair of overhead power lines, telecommunication lines, and broadcast television lines—and dismantled or upgraded 38,000 temporary field structures. Following a "one village, one policy; one house, one plan" approach, Zhongshan has renovated nearly 59,000 rural homes, significantly enhancing the overall appearance, harmony, and livability of its villages. Guo Wenhai, Secretary of the CPC Zhongshan Municipal Committee, said that the city will remain focused on three major goals: building a strong economy, creating beautiful urban and rural areas, and improving social governance. These efforts align with the Guangdong Provincial Committee's priorities in industrial development, environmental enhancement, public services, institutional reform, and encouraging social participation. Looking ahead, Zhongshan aims to deliver even more visible, tangible, and impactful outcomes through the high-quality development project.
