Come to Zhuhai, which is striving to become an important growth pole in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—there are boundless opportunities here!
This year, a large number of young students have come to Zhuhai through the “Millions of Talents Gather in South Guangdong” series of recruitment activities. After taking up their posts, they have rooted themselves in this thriving land of development, reaping numerous surprises and a strong sense of happiness from the city. Zhuhai boasts both an orderly lifestyle and an atmosphere conducive to work and innovation, with a series of talent policies winning wide praise. In particular, after the launch of the “One-Year Exemption and Two-Year Reduction” housing policy for newly arrived young talents in Zhuhai, the preferential terms of “free accommodation in the first year, 70% rent reduction (i.e., 30% of the original rent) in the second year, and 50% rent reduction in the third year” have truly given young talents a sense of belonging, making them exclaim “I chose the right city” and recommend it to people around them.
“Choosing Zhuhai means choosing opportunities!” Hu Guangbin, from Jiangxi Province, who just returned from studying in Russia, chose to settle down at Guangdong Nari Radar Technology Co., Ltd. in Zhuhai Hi-Tech Zone for his “first job”. As a product engineer, Hu has been fully immersed in tasks such as writing product technical documents over the past few months. With a university major related to aerospace, he has long heard of the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition held in Zhuhai, which became an important reason for him to choose the city. Last year, the company showcased 5 new radar products at the air show. Currently, Zhuhai is building an iconic modern industrial system, relying on industries to build the city, gathering people through urban development, and boosting industries with talent, and is eager to attract talents. This year, Hu came to Zhuhai out of admiration and is growing together with this city full of talent appeal.
The “One-Year Exemption and Two-Year Reduction” policy mainly targets young talents who have newly come to Zhuhai for entrepreneurship or employment, providing them with housing security under the “one exemption and two reductions” policy for a maximum of three years, namely free accommodation in the first year, 30% of the original rent in the second year, and 50% of the original rent in the third year. The Huijing Yuelai New Apartment in the Hi-Tech Zone where Hu Guangbin lives is Zhuhai’s first “industrial new community”. This year, it has launched 844 sets of affordable housing units in a concentrated manner, building an ideal living circle of “work-life balance” for new citizens and young people.
“There is a lot to learn from school to the workplace, and both Zhuhai and the company have given me great support and help.” In terms of housing alone, Zhuhai’s “One-Year Exemption and Two-Year Reduction” policy has helped Hu save money and energy, allowing him to have more time to rapidly improve his work capabilities and achieve a balance between work and life. “Originally, the housing expense was at least over 1,000 yuan per month, but now with utilities and property fees included, it’s only about 100 yuan a month for a one-bedroom and one-living-room apartment. I really thank Zhuhai!” In his spare time, Hu often walks between the mountains and seas of Tangjiawan, feeling the youthful vibe of the city. “The transportation here is convenient, the infrastructure is complete, and the city is full of vitality everywhere, always bringing people surprises.”
Xu Leqian, from Hunan Province, aspires to engage in the new energy field, which is a strategic emerging industry cluster. Where the heart leads, the steps follow, and wishes come true. This year, Guangdong Haisida New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., which settled in Zhuhai, extended an “olive branch” to her. After working for half a year, Xu likes Zhuhai’s inclusive urban atmosphere the most: the diverse and inclusive food allows her to wander among restaurants after work; the talent policies tailored for talents of different levels and types provide young people with a stage for work and innovation. From life to work, everything is the “Zhuhai appeal” that she thinks is worth boasting about to people around her. At present, she has benefited from the “One-Year Exemption and Two-Year Reduction” policy. After the rent exemption, her monthly expenses for utilities and property are about 300 yuan, which gives her another reason to love Zhuhai.
Statistics show that since the implementation of the policy, nearly 5,000 housing units have been released, attracting more than 1,500 employers and nearly 8,000 talents to register, among whom many are young talents from Jiangxi and Hunan. Driven by the policy support, as of October this year, Zhuhai has attracted nearly 70,000 talents of various types.
In Zhuhai full of opportunities, another chance to shine has come! The “Millions of Talents Gather in South Guangdong” 2025 N-City Joint Autumn Recruitment Event (targeting universities in Hunan and Jiangxi) is about to kick off. From December 13 to 17, the event will enter 6 key universities in Hunan and Jiangxi, including Central South University, Hunan University, Hunan Normal University, Xiangtan University, Nanchang University, and Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, providing more than 10,000 job positions from over 310 high-quality enterprises for students, and embracing talents of all types with an open and pragmatic attitude.
