Located in southeastern Hohhot with a planned area of 13.6 sq km, the Hohhot Jinqiao Economic Development Zone (呼和浩特金桥经济技术开发区) was founded in September 1999, and promoted to the autonomous region level on March 7, 2005. 

It was named as an autonomous regional demonstration base of photovoltaic materials in 2011, and passed reviews in terms of environmental management, quality, and occupational health and safety in March 2013 to become a high-tech industrial park.

The zone has an industrial output value of 113 billion yuan, an industrial added value of 41.4 billion yuan, and 3.9 billion yuan of revenue. 

At present, the zone is gradually forming three industrial clusters, that is, petrochemical, photovoltaic materials and equipment manufacturing, as well as six pillar industries: petrochemicals, photovoltaic work, building materials, printing, electric power and tobacco. The photovoltaic industry has a completed industry chain.
