Zhuzhou is showcasing its openness in a bid to attract more investors and human resources.

Before it was established as a city in 1951, it was just a small town, but Zhuzhou has since grown into the second-largest economic hub in central China's Hunan province.

Through decades of development, its urban area has expanded from 1.05 square kilometers to 108 sq km, with its urban population increasing from less than 7,000 to more than 1.05 million.
