Located in the western part of Shenzhen and on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary, the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone is a major initiative for strengthening cooperation and interaction between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Besides being a modern service industry cooperation zone, Qianhai is also designated as part of the China (Guangdong) Pilot Free Trade Zone, which enables Qianhai to benefit from various free trade policies.  The Qianhai Zone, which covers an area of 120.56 square kilometres, includes the Convention and Exhibition New Town, Ocean New Town Area, Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport and surrounding area, Bao'an Centre and Da Chan Bay Area, Shekou and the two Big and small Nanshan sub-districts. The international airport, two railway stations and six port terminals provide convenient access to the zone.  

On 6 September 2021, the State Council published the “Plan for Comprehensive Deepening Reform and Opening Up of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone” (Qianhai Plan). The Qianhai Plan is designed to further open up the Qianhai Zone to the international business community.
