The Factory of the World

Dongguan grew from farmland into a manufacturing city of over seven million, and at its peak was estimated to make a substantial share of the world's toys, shoes and computer components. The New South China Mall here, opened in 2005, was the world's largest and stood almost empty for a decade.

The clock: Dongguan keeps UTC+8 between Guangzhou and Shenzhen, in a corridor that functions as one continuous industrial city.
