Covering a total area of 175.6 square kilometers, Longhua District has jurisdiction over six subdistricts: Guanhu, Minzhi, Longhua, Dalang, Fucheng, and Guanlan. It also oversees 69 community workstations and 113 resident neighborhood committees. By the end of 2024, the actual population of the entire district was approximately 3 million. After years of foundational work and long-term development, Longhua has evolved into an ideal, vibrant and promising destination for entrepreneurs from around the world.
