GBA auto show on track to smash attendance records

Organizers of the ongoing 29th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show predict that total visitor turnout and transaction volume of this show will set new records. The show, which opened at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in Bao’an District on Saturday, will run through June 8. During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, which concluded yesterday, the show attracted about 450,000 visitors, with expected transactions reaching 4 billion yuan (US$555 million). These figures represent increases of 27.84% and 8.1%, respectively, compared to the previous edition.

Crowds gather to view BYD’s Fangchengbao Bao 5, a plug-in hybrid SUV designed for off-road enthusiasts and tech lovers, as it climbs a challenging 45-degree slope during the ongoing 29th Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Auto Show at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in Bao’an District on Sunday. Unlike traditional off-road SUVs, the Bao 5 integrates intelligent driving assistance and adaptive terrain modes. Photos by Liu Xudong
