Dalian Hi-tech Zone ({{zh|s=大连高新技术产业园区}} or {{zh|s=大连高新区|labels=no}}) or DHZ (variant officially used spellings include Dalian High-tech Zone) is an industrial district in the western suburbs of Dalian, Liaoning, China. It extends about 30 kilometres along Lüshun South Road and Guoshui Highway in Shahekou District and Lüshunkou District, where many of the world's multinational technology companies have operations.

History

The construction of DHZ started in 1991. Dalian Software Park was added in 1998. The second phase of Dalian Software Park kicked off in 2003 at the site of Dalian Ascendas IT Park, which officially opened in 2007. DHZ is often called "Lushun South Road Software Industry Belt".[http://www.hudong.com/wiki/%E5%A4%A7%E8%BF%9E%E9%AB%98%E6%96%B0%E6%8A%80%E6%9C%AF%E4%BA%A7%E4%B8%9A%E5%9B%AD%E5%8C%BA Dalian Hi-tech Zone (Hudong Encyclopedia)] (in Chinese)
