Another reason for such huge influx of money in this city has been its geographical location and culture, which are similar to the high profile industrial and economic hubs of the Pearl River Delta, like Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Besides, this city isn’t too far off from many industrial towns, and therefore shifting businesses here and transportation cost of raw materials is not too high.
