This year marks the fifth anniversary of the release of the development plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Over a hundred journalists from across China have gathered in the southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou to embark on an eight-day reporting journey starting on June 11.

Guangdong Province has been promoting the development of an internationally renowned bay area and world-class urban cluster of the GBA through the construction of four major cooperation platforms, namely Hengqin, Qianhai, Nansha, and Hetao, focusing on different functional positioning respectively.

Here are some highlights of the GBA's achievements in high-quality development.
