Guangdong launches online registration service for Hong Kong, Macao investors

A Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Online Registration Service Zone was launched in south China's Guangdong Province on Tuesday.

It allows Hong Kong and Macao investors to complete business registration across the nine mainland cities of the Greater Bay Area via online service, with no paper documents required.

Investors can now use the platform to register businesses in any of the nine mainland cities, making market entry easier and further aligning business registration rules across Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

As of the end of September, Guangdong had 106,000 Hong Kong-funded firms and 15,000 Macao-funded companies on its register. Together, they accounted for 55 percent of the province's companies funded by overseas investors.

Haba Lake nature reserve in Yanchi County, northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is drawing visitors with breathtaking autumn beauty as a forest belt of over 933 hectares in the reserve enters best viewing season.

Footage shows vast stretches of golden-hued trees lining both sides of a major road in the nature reserve, creating a spectacular autumn foliage display typical of the northwestern region. Most of the trees are tall Populus simonii (Simon poplars) growing on the sandy lakeshore. Crowds of residents and tourists have flocked here to take in the scenery.

"The autumn scenery at Haba Lake has truly exceeded my expectations. It's incredibly pure and pristine here. I just love it," said Xue Li, a tourist.
