    On September 3, 2013, "2013 Seminar of Chinese Harbor City Economy" was organized by the China Ports and Harbors Association and co-organized by Port of Zhuhai and Times Property’s Zhuhai branch in that beautiful coastal city. Chen Wenling, the head of the Department of General Research, the State Council Research Office; Wang Ming, the deputy head of Institute of Comprehensive Transportation of National Development and Reform Commission, and more than ten other government leaders, as well as experts and scholars on the economic development of coastal cities, discussed how cities and harbors cooperate to achieve mutual development and how to facilitate coordinated development between harbor cities and regions under new conditions.

    Chinese Port Economy Sees Great Development Space and Opportunities
    The topic for the seminar was "Development via Opportunities, Structure Optimization, Harmony with Nature." More than 200 representatives and experts from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Development Research Center of the State Council and other relevant departments, as well as those from harbor cities, domestic and foreign research and advisory institutions, industrial organizations and famous port enterprises attended, along with more than 50 mainstream media and local media agencies. The consensus among the distinguished guests was that the coastal and riverside areas had become the destination of many world manufacturing industries and that with the rapid development of harbor industry China would become one of the countries that enjoy the most vigorous port economy with the highest potential for growth.

    The representative of Times Property's Zhuhai branch delivered an address and expressed the sentiment that Zhuhai, under the outstanding leadership of the municipal government, which has seized the "right times" and saw development as its mission, now has unprecedented development opportunities and has made brilliant achievements in its economy, society and people’s livelihood. In 2008, the State Council announced The Outline of the Plan for the Reform and Development of the Pearl River Delta and further settled the development strategy of Zhuhai. Zhuhai, as the transportation junction and core city of the western bank of the Pearl River, is the main force of the ocean strategy of Pearl River Delta. Hengqin and Gaolan Port have investment volumes of RMB 175 billion and RMB 180 billion, respectively. The two places should help Zhuhai to have a second rapid breakthrough and reach the highest echelon as a world-level harbor city.

    Times Harbor, Gaolan Port Gateway International Community]
     Along with the upgrading of the main channel capacity to 100,000 tons, Gaolan Port would become the "number-one heavyweight" channel of Guangdong Province. With the implementation of a series of government projects such as Pingsha New Town, with an investment of hundreds of billions, and Harbor Ecological City, the poetical coastal city would welcome another flourishing spring. Times Property would seize the development opportunity and take the leading position. Moreover, Times Harbor would build an international level new harbor town and develop together with the future of Zhuhai.

    Times Harbor is located in the Gaolan Port Economic Zone, which has an investment volume of RMB 180 billion and is the only place in the Pearl River Delta that can be compared with Hengqin Port. Times Harbor is only a five-minute drive from the national tourism leisure destination Ocean Spring Resort, which has an investment of RMB 16.5 billion. Any of three international airports can be reached within an hour. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge interconnects the three places. Guangzhou-Zhuhai Railway and Gaolan Port Highway form a two-hour economic zone in the Pearl River Delta. We can clearly foresee the value and prospects of Times Harbor.

    Multidimensional Facilities Make an International-Level Harbor Metropolis
    Times Harbor is Times Property’s first benchmark project in Pingsha. It pays attention to the community humanistic atmosphere and construction of landscape architecture, guides Gaolan Port to create an ideal place to live and lends a more convenient, healthy and gracious infrastructure to the world-level harbor. The project covers residences, apartments and the region's largest business center. In the future, it will also introduce an international-brand cinema and a chain supermarket into this region. Concurrently, it will add a provincial-standard kindergarten, a garden swimming pool which covers 1,200 square meters, a clubhouse and other high-end facilities. The once-and-for-all resolution can let residents enjoy the convenience of life.

    Times Harbor adheres to the unique concept of "life stylist." The artistic garden at Times Harbor was designed with reference to natural ecological design and incorporated nature in its construction, thus realizing an ideal integration of life and art. Times Harbor is determined to forge a modern, high-quality community in the harbor district.
