Administrative jurisdiction over 5 residents' committees and 2 1 villagers' committees, with a total population of132,000, is one of the key overseas Chinese hometowns in Chaoyang District. Gu Rao's township enterprises are very developed, and the knitting underwear industry is very famous.

Walking into Gurao Town of Shantou is like walking into a woman's world. There are huge women's underwear ads on both sides of the street, which not only shows the feminine figure of women, but also tells tourists that this is a base for producing women's underwear. As Yao Zuoxiong, the mayor of Gurao Town, said, our products here are specially for women.

Gurao Town is a key hometown of overseas Chinese in Guangdong. Although its population is only over 6,543.8+0.3 million, there are about 6,543.8+million overseas Chinese. In the early 1980s, overseas Chinese in Gu Rao invested and produced the first "three supplements and one supplement" textile enterprise here, which opened the curtain for Gu Rao to produce knitted underwear. As the orders from overseas are mainly women's underwear, Gu Rao has gradually formed a complete knitted underwear industry chain with distinctive features, becoming one of the largest knitted underwear production bases in China, and was named as "the famous town of knitted underwear in China" by China Textile Industry Association.
