Population

Economy
editThere 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 China. As Dongguan is an agglomeration of towns without a central core (multicore), the town is more economically connected to adjacent Shenzhen than the smaller urban cores of Dongguan.
Transportation
editState Highway 107, Guangshen Expressway G4 and Guangshen Yanjiang Expressway S3 run through the area.
