An eagle-eyed resident spotted the clutch of eggs and alerted the authorities on 23 June.
Experts confirmed the fossils were genuine dinosaur eggs with full preservation and clear morphology.
The dino eggs were found in Haizhu District in Guangzhou City, China.
Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta used to have humid river-lake sedimentary environments during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70 to 66 million years ago.
These conditions made the area suitable for dinosaur survival and fossil formation.
Such a nest discovery inside a major city centre remains extremely rare.
The intact clutch holds major scientific and popular science value.
Researchers will use advanced three-dimensional scanning and sophisticated geological dating technologies to isolate their precise age and species.
Public displays will follow so residents can experience these ancient wonders in person, as reported by Whats The Jam.
The eggs represent a genuine time capsule from millions of years ago.
Further analysis will reveal more about the dinosaurs that once roamed the region.
The fossils will be examined in detail over the coming weeks and months.
Updates on the exact species and age are expected soon.
