Before Huawei moved to Longgang District, its headquarters was located in the Nanshan Science and Technology Park under the jurisdiction of Yuehai Street. 1996, Huawei moved its headquarters from the Nanshan Shenyi Industrial Building in the Nanshan District to the Science and Technology Park, which was then mostly industrial factories, and the park was empty of a few companies.

In September of that year, Shenzhen began planning for the construction of the Shenzhen Bay Park, a high-tech zone with a total area of about 11.5 square kilometers, most of which is located in the area of Yuehai Street.

These 79 A-share listed companies have a total revenue of RMB 413.6 billion in 2018, equivalent to 4% of the total GDP of Guangdong Province in 2018.

In addition to the A-share listed companies, Yuehai Street also has six U.S.-listed companies and 17 Hong Kong-listed companies.

Among them, the U.S.-listed companies include Xunlei, Tencent Music, Lexin, Xiaowin Technology, Asianera Holdings, and 500 Lottery, with a total market capitalization of nearly $27 billion (about RMB 186 billion) and combined 2018 revenue of $4.635 billion (about RMB 32 billion).

Unfortunately, Yuehai Street may soon lose its position as the strongest street. It is reported that on February 12, 2019, Nanshan District intends to set up two additional street offices in Qianwan and Gaoxin, by which the jurisdiction of Nanshan, Yuehai and Xili street offices will be adjusted. Nanshan District is likely to divest the Science and Technology Park, which originally belonged to Yuehai Street, and establish a new high-tech zone. By that time, the street will not only be greatly reduced in size, the strength of the street will also be greatly reduced.
