'Bao'an District' (Chinese: 宝安区, ''Bǎo'ān-qū'') is one of the six districts comprising Shenzhen, a major economic city in Guangdong Province, China. It is one of two districts lying outside the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, alongside Longgang. With 5 million people, Bao'an is Shenzhen's largest district.
The district is the site of Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (深圳宝安国际机场).
Bao'an District contains ten subdistricts: Baocheng (宝城), Xixiang (西乡), Longhua (龙华), Guanlan (观澜), Gungming (公明), Songjiang (松岗), Guangming (光明), Shajing (沙井), Fuyong (福永) and Shiyan (石岩).
Bao'an has a notoriously bad security record. Since the turn of the millennium the district has seen a string of high-profile abductions, robberies, and other cases of violent crime (source: SCMP 2005-12-31, see below).
