Wellspring (Show Flat) – 113-115m2 Unit
In Shenzhen’s evolving urban landscape, Longgang is quietly undergoing transformation. Once regarded simply as a “liveable residential district,” the area has surged past RMB 600 billion in GDP, now standing alongside Nanshan and Futian as one of Shenzhen’s three major economic engines.
Technology, education, talent and comprehensive amenities converge here, forming a new generation urban core. With more than two million new residents added over the past decade, Longgang’s urban energy is being redefined.
Amid this shift, New World 188—an expansive integrated community inspired by Hong Kong’s lifestyle standards—has emerged as a new model for living in Longgang. More than a residential project, it is a people centric, lifestyle driven urban heart.

Efficient Connectivity for Living and Learning
“From Yonghu Station to the Universiade Hub takes only six minutes: four lines intersecting at one point is rare in Shenzhen,” the sales team notes. Yonghu Station sits at the gateway of the Shenzhen–Hong Kong International Science and Education City, where research and daily life naturally merge. From Yonghu, residents can reach Futian in 38 minutes; once the Eastern Transit Expressway is fully open, “it will take just over twenty minutes to reach Liantang Port, making cross border living even more seamless.”
This dual city convenience is one of the key reasons Hong Kong buyers are drawn northward. New World 188 is the natural result of Longgang’s urban evolution. With a total GFA exceeding 900,000 square metres, the development integrates residences, offices, education facilities, commercial streets and community amenities—essentially a micro city.
Direct access to Metro Line 3 at Yonghu Station A1 Exit will soon be enhanced by a weatherproof walkway. “We want coming home to feel effortless—step out of the station and you’re home,” says the sales manager.
Beyond transport, lifestyle convenience is equally emphasised. The project’s signature retail zone, spans around 60,000 square metres and draws inspiration from contemporary Asian streetscapes, blending main avenues, exploratory pedestrian lanes and elevated town concepts. “We want to create a neighbourhood with real life and character—not a traditional enclosed mall,” the team adds. Surrounding hubs such as Dayun Tiandi, COCO Park and Longgang Wanda Plaza offer lifestyle convenience comparable to Shenzhen’s core districts.

Where City Meets Nature
What makes New World 188 truly distinctive is not only its urban connectivity, but its natural setting. Backed by Wutong Mountain—Shenzhen’s highest peak—and adjacent to the national grade Wutong River Greenway, the project is surrounded by natural assets including Yuanshan Scenic Area and Dalinggu Park, forming a rare urban green lung.
The landscape design draws from “Ten Scenes of Wutong,” transforming mountain and river imagery into daily living:
- Stone springs and cascading rock waterfalls at the entrance evoke “stepping into the mountain”
- Evergreen landscaping with camphor, holly and pomegranate creates a year round forest ambience
- Stream features and mist systems on the second level enhance the sense of arrival
- Seasonal azalea gardens and butterfly paths form a walkable nature classroom
With a 40% greenery ratio, residents will enjoy nature that can be seen, walked and felt.
WELLSPRING: High Efficiency New Regulation Homes
The first phase, WELLSPRING, comprises four residential towers with over 1,140 units, offering high efficiency and strong value under Shenzhen’s new building regulations. “It’s rare in eastern Shenzhen to find three bedroom homes from just over RMB 2 million, or four bedrooms from a low RMB of only 3 million,” the sales manager notes.
Layouts include: 76 square metre 3-bedroom with one bath; 86 square metre 3-bedroom with two baths, 98 square metre 4-bedroom with two baths and 114 square metre 4-bedroom with two baths.
Many units feature dual balconies to maximise usable space. Wide window ledges—popular among Hong Kong buyers—can accommodate beds or reading corners. The 98 square metres 4-bedroom units use dual balconies to enhance daylight and cross ventilation, extending outdoor views into the home. High floor units overlook the Wutong Mountain skyline, with views comparable to Hong Kong’s Mid Levels; mid and low floor units enjoying close riverfront greenery.

A Complete Living System for Modern Cross Border Families
Homes adopt a “modern light luxury” design language, emphasising space, natural light and cross ventilation. Flexible layouts bring hotel like refinement into daily living. Single and dual balconies, oversized window ledges and bay windows draw in abundant daylight and frame natural views. Rare bright bathrooms connected to utility balconies enhance practicality and ventilation, offering an additional laundry and drying space—details that resonate strongly with Hong Kong buyers.
The project is strategically located near the Shenzhen International University Park, a renowned higher education hub that brings together several prestigious institutions, including The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen) and Shenzhen MSU-BIT University. The area offers a vibrant academic environment and strong educational resources. In terms of healthcare, residents will benefit from access to top-tier medical facilities, including CUHK-Shenzhen Hospital and Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital, one of the highest-ranked public hospitals in Mainland China, providing comprehensive and high-quality healthcare services.
The project is scheduled for completion on 1 July 2028. Hong Kong buyers can enjoy a low entry threshold with a minimum down payment of just 15%. In addition, the project will offer a “Home Renovation and Furniture Package”, to further simplify the cross-border homebuying process and enable homeowners to move in with greater ease and convenience.
New World 188 is more than a residential development, it is a place where city, nature, education, commerce and daily life are woven together. It reflects Longgang’s urban evolution and offers new possibilities for cross border families, young professionals and retirees. Under Wutong Mountain, beside the metro, within Shenzhen’s future urban vision, New World 188 is set to become one of Longgang’s most imaginative lifestyle destinations.
Shenzhen Centaline Property Secondary Market Division 3 General Manager Ho Ping said:
“The recent market correction has made Shenzhen’s housing prices far more accessible compared with Hong Kong. As a 900,000‑square‑metre, Hong Kong‑style integrated complex with seamless metro connections, New World 188 offers a lifestyle that Hong Kong buyers are deeply familiar with. Coupled with New World’s strong reputation among Hong Kong residents, the project naturally carries a sense of affinity.”
“Most Hong Kong buyers purchasing in Shenzhen today are buying to live, not to speculate—many commute between the two cities or spend weekends there. Compared with Hong Kong, Shenzhen’s newly regulated homes achieve nearly 100% efficiency. A 100‑square‑metre unit would be considered a luxury home in Hong Kong, but in Shenzhen you can enjoy one for just over RMB 3 million, with significantly greater living comfort.”
