Located in the northwest of Shenzhen, Shenzhen Guangming Overseas Chinese Farm (also known as Guangming Overseas Chinese Livestock Farm) was founded in 1958. It is the only overseas Chinese farm in Shenzhen’s jurisdiction and also the most concentrated area of resettlement of refugees in Shenzhen. The famous "Bright Three Treasures" "—Bright pigeon, sweet corn and Chenguang milk are produced here.
In its heyday, Guangming Overseas Chinese Farm had more than 20 state-owned enterprises, 18 "three-capital" enterprises, and more than 40 processing plants. It had the country's largest fresh milk export base and Asia's largest pigeon factory. Nevertheless, compared with the rapid development of other areas in Shenzhen, this place was once nicknamed the "Siberia" of Shenzhen.
However, the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in August 1980 activated this land. In 2007, Guangming New District, composed of the Gongming and Guangming offices in Bao'an District, was established.

Since then, the development of Guangming District has been unacceptable. From the low-guarantee households accounted for three-quarters of Shenzhen in 2001, the GDP of the region has exceeded 100 billion yuan. Green ecology and scientific and technological innovation are everywhere. In 2020, the "Several Opinions of Shenzhen Municipal People's Government on Supporting Guangming Science City to Build a World-Class Science City" will be implemented. On the former farm, a world-class science city is emerging.

According to reports, the Guangming Science City has a planned total area of 99 square kilometers, with an area of approximately 46,000 square meters for civil engineering in the starting area. The project mainly includes a large scientific device platform for brain analysis and brain simulation, a large scientific device platform for synthetic biology, and the construction content is large science Experimental devices and operating platforms, as well as related supporting facilities such as scientific research offices and conferences. The main structure of the five buildings is expected to be capped this year.
In addition, Guangming combines the characteristics of the geographical and spatial structure to build "One Corridor (Longda Science and Technology Innovation Development Corridor), Three Districts (Science and Technology Innovation Zone, Achievement Transformation Zone, Industrial Development Zone), and Five Clusters (Original Innovation Cluster, Science and Technology Service Cluster, Intelligent industry cluster, life science industry cluster, new material industry cluster)" overall industrial space.
At present, Guangming District has built the first Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Macao scientific and technological achievements transfer and transformation base, promoted the construction of Hong Kong and Macao youth innovation and entrepreneurship bases, and introduced 14 Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan projects such as network digital audio processing equipment and chips, and Fengtu indoor positioning big data map platform. Medicine, smart manufacturing, new materials and other fields.
