I. Upgrade Schedule

The upgrade will start on April 7, 2025 (next Monday), and is expected to take approximately 10 days.

II. Key Upgrade Features

1. Special Sections Update: Optimized content in sections such as "Guangzhou International Neighbourhoods", providing more authoritative, up-to-date, and localized information about foreign affairs.

2. Improved User Experience: Upgraded smart search functionality and streamlined interactive processes for policy inquiries, form downloads, and other services.
