Shanghai Chongming Industrial Zone

Shanghai Chongming Industrial Zone, formally Chongming County Foreign Business Investment Development Zone, was established in March 1994 and it became a city-level industrial zone in February 1996 with the approval of Shanghai Municipal People's Government. The 10 square kilometer industrial zone is characterized by:

Advantageous Location

The industrial zone is in Chengqiao Town where the Country Government is located. It neighbors the central town in the east, Nanmen Port in the south, an important port of Chongming to the outside, Sanshanghong and Nanhengyin Rivers that lead to all directions in the west, the secondary national Zhenhai Highway in the north, which is the major transportation artery on the island. Directly influenced by the opening and reform projects of Pudong, it is only 10 km from Chongming International Airport under construction, and 40 km from Pudong New Area.

Convenient Transportation

The external transportation network of the industrial zone extends in all directions. Chongming's largest vehicle and passenger port is 1 kilometer to its south. By taking a full-air-cushioned high-speed passenger ferry for half an hour, you can arrive at Shanghai Baoyang Road Port. After over an hour's ride, the passenger ferry will get you to Baoshan Shidongkou Port and Jiangsu Liuhe Port. Niupeng Harbor, the harbor in northern Chongming, is 32 kilometers to the north. You will then arrive at Haimen of Jiangsu Province, which is the gateway to the expansive area of northern Jiangsu, after half an hour on the ferry. Chonghai Bridge, whose construction has already been approved, will stand between Chongming's Niupeng Harbor and Haimen's Qinglong Harbor.

Outstanding Role

As a comprehensive city-level industrial zone, Chongming Industrial Zone takes the primary role of leading the entire county's industrial enterprises to achieve modern management, through importing high technology and projects from home and abroad, as well as adjusting and updating Chongming's industrial structure. It also provides service for the leaving of downtown and the central government's third-tier state-owned enterprises. It has gradually become an essential part of economic growth towards Chongming's development. It is playing a special role as the "island bridge" in developing Pudong, revitalizing Shanghai and promoting the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta.
