Economy

There are many manufacturing operations which tailor to the needs of the export industry, and as a result, Chang'an is one of the wealthiest districts in all of China. As Dongguan is an odd agglomeration of towns without a central core (multicore), the town is more economically connected to adjacent Shenzhen than the far smaller and less dynamic urban cores of Dongguan.

Transportation

State Highway 107, Guangshen Expressway G4 and Guangshen Yanjiang Expressway S3 run through the area.
