For Chenzhou, it's location, location, location

Chenzhou's geographic location is proving a strong advantage as the city continues to develop an open economy, Mayor Liu Zhiren said.

The city, which is in southern part of Hunan province, near to the border with Guangdong province, has been a window into the vast region's opening-up, particularly in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Liu, a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, said the city will open up further and strengthen its cooperation with cities in the Greater Bay Area.
