Zijin has the natural advantage of undertaking the transfer of industries in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Under the background of in-depth promotion of the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Shenzhen Pilot Demonstration Zone, how can the development of Zijin's industrial industry gain momentum to rise?
Cheng Yongqi, a professor at Guangdong University of Technology, believes that Zijin County has good location advantages and industrial foundations. In the future, the industrial development path must grasp the location advantages, focus on emerging industries, and achieve cluster development. When focusing on emerging industries, should focus on industries such as new electronics, new energy, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing, biomedicine and health. In realizing cluster development, it is necessary to achieve high industrial concentration, thereby reducing the institutional costs of enterprises, improving economies of scale and scope economies, and improving the market competitiveness of industries and enterprises. In terms of technological innovation supporting industries, we must strive to create a provincial-level high-tech industrial development zone and create a high-level characteristic industrial park.

In recent years, the tourism industry in Zijin County has developed rapidly, and new business formats such as tea tourism complex, rural tourism, and study tourism have developed rapidly. An atmosphere has initially been formed in Zijin to watch operas, taste cicada tea, soak in hot springs, taste delicious food, learn party history, and visit the countryside. How will Zijin’s tourism industry develop in the future?
Dr. Hu Weihua, director of the Tourism Development Research Institute of Shenzhen Vocational and Technical College, believes that Zijin has a variety of tourism resources and is the hometown of red purple gold, cicada tea, hot spring capital, and health resort. In the future, Zijin will target "China's tea tourism integration demonstration site, dual-zone leisure tourism destination, rural tourism highland in northeastern Guangdong, and Heyuan B&B industry cluster". will do a good job in four aspects, namely strengthening policy guidance and support, improving regional tourism infrastructure, expanding Zijin tourism brand promotion, and innovating the form of customer source market development. In terms of brand building, we regard red culture as the leading banner and spiritual high ground; in terms of industrial development, we regard "tea and tourism integration" as the focus and highlight of tourism development; in terms of "integration of three livelihoods", we regard Hakka culture and local food as important carriers for host and guest sharing and national leisure.
