In the ninth episode of the "Cultural and Creative Pazhou" program, the development of the Guangdong Guangzhou Daily Media Building was discussed. Guangdong Guangzhou Daily Media is dedicated to promoting the integration of culture and digital economy as well as driving transformation and upgrading.

In 2015, the company acquired the Pazhou plot for a total price of 720 million yuan ($98.71 million), laying the foundation for the building, which was intended to become a cultural landmark in South China.

In June 2023, Guangdong Guangzhou Daily Media's headquarters was moved into the building. As of September 2023, the overall occupancy rate of the whole building reached approximately 50 percent, with more than 30 digital cultural and technological companies already located there. Furthermore, the occupancy rate of the building's commercial center reached 81 percent.

Different types of companies bring a sense of diversity to the building. The key to the company's success in operating the cultural and creative park lies in its positioning and services. It pays strong attention to meeting the needs of internet technology professionals, focusing on cultural creativity, and emphasizing the free atmosphere of an open park.

General Manager of Guangdong Guangzhou Daily Media Liu Xiaomei expressed that as a State-owned enterprise, the company also hopes to leverage its advantages to serve the development of Guangzhou and fulfill its social responsibilities.
