Guanshanhu zone targets two 200-billion-yuan industrial clusters by 2030

By 2030, the Guanshanhu Modern Service Industry Pilot Zone aims to cultivate at least two industrial clusters, each with an added value exceeding 200 billion yuan ($28.61 billion), as part of efforts to build a high-end, open, and competitive modern service economy.

The zone targets an average annual growth rate of 8 percent in service-sector added value. By 2030, the total number of market entities is expected to reach 87,745, with more than 29,785 employees in service enterprises above designated size. The industrial structure will move toward the mid-to-high end, driven by the growth of modern finance, exhibitions and conventions, trade and logistics, and cultural tourism.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026–30), building a core area for an inland open economy will be a key task. The zone will expand cooperation with Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia, while actively integrating into major national regional strategies. New forms of openness, including cross-border e-commerce, market procurement trade, and facilitation of cross-border capital flows, will be strengthened.

Six major service platforms – including those for technological innovation, talent attraction, fund development, exhibitions, high-speed rail services, and domestic and foreign trade enterprises – will be further improved to optimize the business environment and logistics connectivity.

In finance, the zone will accelerate the clustering of banking, securities, insurance, funds, and trusts, building a modern financial hub serving Guizhou province and radiating across western China. The Guanshanhu Fund Town aims to host more than 60 financing roadshows by 2030, providing full life-cycle financial services to enterprises.

The exhibition and convention economy will move toward higher-end development, with total revenue expected to reach 27 billion yuan by 2030. Trade and logistics revenue is projected to remain above 50 billion yuan, supported by smart logistics and integrated trade models. Cultural and tourism development will expand across the entire area, with total tourism revenue targeted to exceed 50 billion yuan by 2030.

The zone will also promote high-speed rail–oriented development, digital economy growth, and the building economy, while fostering advanced manufacturing. Focusing on electronic information manufacturing and new energy vehicles, supplemented by the eco-friendly specialty food industry, the pilot zone aims to build a "2+N" modern industrial system, with total output of industries above designated size expected to surpass 56 billion yuan by 2030.
