On January 4, 2023, the demolition ceremony of Nanhai "Old Town, Old Factories, Old Village" Modification Project was held, and the Xia'nan modification project was launched at the meantime. 

With a total investment of 15 billion yuan, Xia'nan project will be the largest village modification project. According to the scheme, it will be built into one modern industrial community that covers the research and development of advanced technology, intelligent manufacturing, and service industry.　

It is believed that the modification will generate 4 times of economic benefit to villagers, along with better infrastructure like education, which will significantly improve local living standards.

As one of the first batch of key village modification projects, Xia'nan project covers a construction area of 1.8 million square meters, with 733 thousand square meters of modification area. Among them, a land of 700 thousand square meters is reserved for industrial development.

The remaining land of 1.1 million square meters will be used for accommodation and relevant public facilities. Through demolition and modification, Xia'nan aims to build one industrial and urban integration demonstration zone with Lingnan water village characteristics.
