4. Universal housing allowance

All bachelor's degree holders younger than 30, master's degree holders younger than 35, and doctoral degree holders younger than 40, are eligible to housing allowances of 20,000, 40,000, and 60,000 yuan respectively, after they sign employment contracts and complete household registration in Nansha district. 

Some high-end talents who do not require housing allowance are provided with apartments at discounted rental prices. High-end industrial leading figures could be offered apartments with an area of up to 200 square meters, rent-free for ten years. Among them, Nobel Prize laureates and fellows of the CAS or the CAE could be gifted the apartments after staying there for ten years.

5. Special rewards for experts in key areas

Different amounts of financial rewards are granted to education, medical, shipping, and mechanical experts, depending on level of proficiency. The housing allowance can reach as high as 5 million yuan.

The district government rewards the human resource service institutes at home and abroad that have successfully introduced prominent talents to Nansha. The financial reward varies from 100,000 to 500,000 yuan for each person introduced by these institutes. In special cases, the reward can even reach up to 3 million yuan when it involves a top expert with major social influence.

7. Strengthen the construction of talent training carriers

The district government sponsors the province-designated "CAS & CAE Fellow Workstations" with 1 million yuan, and grants 300,000 yuan to newly-established postdoctoral workstations. Moreover, the government rewards exceptional workstations every year with 300,000 yuan accordingly.

8. Actively introduce talents from Hong Kong, Macao, and abroad

The district government grants generous bonuses to remarkable employees (with annual pay above 300,000 yuan or 200,000 yuan for research institutes) from Hong Kong, Macao, and foreign countries according to the contributions they have made to society. The cross-border procedures for them are further simplified.

Nansha district has already initiated housing allowance applications from superior talents since the beginning of April. In the coming months, it plans to fully implement these talent recruitment measures and express its steadfast determination in this regard.
