Longgang, a county-level city in Wenzhou once known for its intensive printing and packaging industry, has transformed into an ideal habitat, earning the moniker "youth ideal place".

With remarkable speed, the city unveiled a demonstration zone in just several months, encompassing 20 communities, all dedicated to the theme of the ideal place for youth.

Longgang hosted a major urban development conference last month to introduce the  "Longgang city partners" initiative. This initiative invites global youth to live and start businesses in the city and contribute to its growth. 

Longgang actually is the youngest city with a population structure where the population between 14 to 35 years old constitutes 25.33 percent of the total. Through entrepreneurial spirits, the city has evolved into a beacon for dreams and innovation.

A wide array of culture projects showcases the city's commitment to providing vibrant cultural and tourism experiences, making it a popular destination during holidays. The city's eastern part features diverse scenes such as a community-themed waterside street, cultural study bases, and child-friendly parks.

Longgang's unprecedented transformation, from a coastal mudflat to a bustling modern city, is a result of embracing continuous reforms. It has achieved economic success, securing top-10 growth in terms of GDP for the past five quarters. With plans for a medical center, an education hub, and cultural venues, Longgang is not only retaining talent but also fostering a unique urban living zone.
