| Cixi Introduction: Yangtze River Delta
Overview Cixi Overview
Yangtze
River Delta Overview Cixi is located in the Yangtze River Delta which is in the middle of the Chinese coastal line and covers Shanghai and parts of Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Near the estuary of Yangtze River, the biggest one in China.The climate of Yangtze River Delta is subtropical monsoon one with mild temperature. With fertile soil suitable for planting and ploughing, it is a land of rice and fish and famous for silk. What is more, it is abundant in aquatic products too, with Zhoushan Fishery, Lusi Fishery and Yangtze Estuary Fishery in the vicinity. The importance of the Yangtze River Delta lies on its other geographic advantages, too. It is both the hub of water communication and Gold Coast in China with 1000km of coastal line and 600km inland navigation line along which are located Shanghai,Ningbo,Zhoushan,Nanjing and Zhenjiang etc. From there, vessels can reach the ports of over 160 countries and areas with Shanghai as the centre of the modernised network. The Delta covers the whole area of 1.8million kilometres with the population of 350 million. The main agricultural products produced covers the half of national output and the market is quite potential. The Yangtze River Delta is quite strong in economic power and the most important manufacturing base in textile, mechanic and electric products,steel and iron,and petrochemical products. The manufacturing industry has been improved with the capacity of designing and developing and with competitive quality and prices. Since the opening and reform policy was introduced in China, the emphasis has been laid, first and foremost, on the development of the littoral region in the eastern China and the area along the Changjiang River, which are opening up to the outside world. At the junction for those two industrially intensive belts is located the Changjiang Delta, which accordingly makes the delta in the lead in the advance of the whole area. Since 1990, the Chinese government has determined to speed up the burgeoning of Pudong, Shanghai, so as to turn Shanghai into an international center in economy, finance and trade, which will therefore bring about an economic boom in the Changjiang Delta and other area along the Changjiang River as well. As the largest city in China and metropolis in the Far East, Shanghai is also an important comprehensive industrial and research base in China that plays a vital role in the national economy. Locate at the two wings of the delta, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are two provinces in the mainland where rapid growth takes place in economy, technology and culture. And they insist on the opening policy so as to accelerate the advance towards export-oriented economy. All that makes many cities in the area more and more attractive in drawing foreign investments, including Ningbo, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, etc. According to the development blueprint for the Changjiang Delta, by 2010, Shanghai will lay a solid foundation as an international economic center; Ningbo will be turned into a modernized international port city; Nanjing will lay a sound foundation as an international metropolis; Hangzhou will virtually be turned into an international tourist city; And similar goals are proposed for cities like Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Nantong, Shaoxing, etc. It is estimated by experts that, within the following one or two decades, the Changjiang Delta is very likely to grow into an extraordinary belt of metropolises, which can be compared to that around Tokyo and Osaka in Japan. EDZ
Overview We'll build "A Famous City for Industry and Commerce in the Soth Flank of
Yangtze River Delta, An Economic Center in North Part of Ningbo, An Eco-travel
Industry City" The Zone is divided into 3 different function sections from the east to the west. The 60km2 middle section is for industrial development, including 12.7km2-start area. By the end of 2002, the part between the 8th Sea Bank Highway and South Seaside Highway, which covers an area of 4.5 km2 has been developed. The rest has been under construction and will be completed by the end of 2003. Now another 20km2-area north to the 8th Sea Bank Highway is prepared for development. The 40km2 east section performs functions of economic, cultural and administrative center as well as providing commercial activities, living, leisure facilities and services comprehensively. The 20km2 west section is for developing high-class resort villas, starred
hotels, golf course, wetland park and other facilities alike for leisure,
entertainment and tourism purposes. Traffic Network Sea: Now it is 70km from the EDZ to Ningbo Port. Ningbo Port has shipping links with 553 ports in 88 countries and regions of the world. Regular container liners go to HK, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asian countries, the Persian Gulf, Northwest Europe, the west coast of North America and the east coast of USA. Irregular freighters also serve the Singapore, Australian and other routes. When Hang-Zhou-Wan Bay Bridge is completed Shanghai Port also will be a reasonable choice for export and import. Railway: Start using the Shushan Cargo Railway Station, Cixi, an ending point is linked to the national railway network. It handles cargo arrival and departure between Cixi and other parts in China. Highway: The EDZ is 12km north to Cixi city proper linked by the continuation
of Hushan-Congshou highway and East Outer Loop of the city. Four north-south
highways, i.e. Lucheng-Andong highway, Hushan-Congshou highway, East Outer Loop
of the city(continuation of the connecting highway to the Hangzhou-Ningbo
expressway, Zhangshu-Xingpu highway along with three east-west highways, i.e.
No.329 National Route, Zhongheng highway and Hang-Zhou-Wan Bay Bridge Passage
are employed as the outer loop traffic network for the EDZ.
Invest Environment: Infrastructure
Power Supply A 110KV transforming station will be installed, whose designed capacity is 220KV. Cables and wires are laid under the ground.
Virescence The green coverage rate of the whole section exceeds 40%. The
green coverage rate of the factory is required to exceed 30%. Water Supply Industrial water supply capacity 20,000 tons/day, specification
of main pipes for civil water supply is 800mm/1,000mm in diameter. Highway in Zone The major highway is 50m wide,minor ones 36m and subsidiary
ones 16m. Envirenmental Protection Industrial sewage treatment works will be set up
here. It extends conduits to each factory for mass treatment in order to protect
the vast mud flat. Now and forever we are determined to achieve development of
the New Zone at the cost of other than polluting the natural envirenment. Thermopower One thermopower plant will be set up for massive supply. Post & Telecommunication Post and telecommunication branches will be set up here for our convenience and guarantee efficiency.
