The Greater Bay Area is centered around the Pearl River Estuary, facing inland China and the South China Sea, linked to international transportation routes and an economic region closest to the Maritime Silk Road. The development of the area should also act as a catalyst for China’s Belt and Road Initiative - it is a strategic development that aims to link the economies along the Silk Road Economic Belt (Central Asia to Europe) and the Maritime Silk Road (South Asia to Africa and the Middle East) together.
