Longxue Street is steeped in legend, with Longxue Island believed to be the location of the South China Sea Dragon Palace. Ancient tales describe the mirage on Longxue Island as a spectacular phenomenon created by the breath of a dragon.

As a major hub for both seaport and airport operations, Longxue Street is just 20 minutes away from Shenzhen Bao'an Airport via the Xinlong Bridge and Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, making transportation to and from the area quick and efficient.

In addition to being an international shipping hub, Longxue Street is also a world-class shipbuilding base, while steadily evolving into a high-end marine equipment manufacturing industry cluster.

Establishing the Marine Ranch Coastal Seedling Breeding and Genetic Resource Protection Base, Longxue Street focuses on the cultivation and research of species like shrimp, enhancing biodiversity and sustainability efforts.

Through vibrant festivals such as the Durian Festival and Harvest Festival, Longxue Street transforms port traffic into economic growth, with innovative sales models gaining popularity.

It is also one of the 18 interwoven pilot communities among various ethnic groups in Guangzhou, fostering social cohesion and diversity.
