YIVAHUBGuangdong Industrial Belt Atlas
21 cities · 168 town-level clusters · 149 district units · updated 2026-10-14 · free to cite with attribution
Guangdong is the manufacturing province most export buyers deal with, and almost none of its geography is written down in English. This atlas records where each product is actually made, down to the town: 168 town-level industry clusters and 149 district-level manufacturing units across 21 cities, each with the product category, the production mode, whether it serves domestic or export markets, a scale anchor, and the public source the entry came from.
Why this is not on any other English-language site. Chinese trade media, provincial
government releases and local industry associations publish this information constantly — in Chinese, scattered across
thousands of articles. As far as we can tell nobody has assembled it into a single English-language, source-cited
reference. That is what this dataset is.

How to read this dataset
- Cluster, not company. Entries describe what a town or district makes. They deliberately contain no company names — this is a map of capability, not a supplier directory.
- Scale anchors are as published. Each scale figure carries the year and the source it came from. They are indicative of the belt's size, not audited production statistics.
- Confidence flags. Entries sourced from a single local media report are marked lower confidence than those backed by government releases or industry association data.
- Production mode matters commercially. A town marked "Manufacturing" behaves differently from one marked "Trading" or "Mixed" — pricing, minimums and lead times all shift with it.
- Use it to ask better questions. Knowing which town makes your product is what lets you challenge a quote instead of accepting it.
Methodology and sources
Entries were compiled from public Chinese-language sources: provincial and municipal government releases, industry association publications, and reporting by regional trade media. Each row in the downloadable CSV and JSON carries its own source string and a confidence flag, so any single claim can be traced back and checked.
Company names that appeared in the underlying material were removed before publication. Nothing in this dataset identifies, endorses or ranks any individual manufacturer.
