Luohu District is situated in the south-central part of Shenzhen, at the heart of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. It borders Yantian District to the east along the watershed at Bogong Pass of Wutong Mountain, connects with Futian District to the west via the central line of Hongling Road, and shares boundaries with Longgang and Longhua districts to the north. Covering a total area of 78.79 square kilometers, Luohu boasts a green coverage rate of 64.6%.
Thanks to its geographical proximity and close ties with Hong Kong, Luohu serves as a vital hub for emotional, economic, and cultural exchanges between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and has long been a top choice for Hong Kong residents to live and work in Shenzhen. The district is home to three ports—Luohu, Wenjindu, and Liantang. Luohu Port is the busiest passenger port between Shenzhen and Hong Kong; Wenjindu Port is a comprehensive port for both passengers and goods, mainly facilitating the supply of fresh produce to Hong Kong; and Liantang Port, which began operations in 2020, further strengthens cross-border connectivity. With Shenzhen Railway Station already integrated into the national high-speed rail network and the upcoming Luohu North High-Speed Railway Station under construction, Luohu is poised to become a major transportation hub connecting Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, serving the wider Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
