Covering 10.3 sq km, the district will be home to sci-tech enterprises and institutes as well as high-caliber personnel from all over the world.

The 105 district will develop modern service industries such as international trade and the digital economy by utilizing Lin-gang's advantages in cross-border finance. With an area of 19.67 sq km, the district will be home to headquarters of trade, healthcare, shipping and insurance enterprises.
