Brief Introduction to Yangpu

Hainan Yangpu Economic & Technological Development Zone is the first development zone approved by the Chinese government for lease to foreign investors.

The development zone is located inside the 150-sq-km Yangpu Peninsula on the northwestern coast of Hainan and covers an area of 30 sq km. The zone is about 140 kilometers away from Haikou, capital of China's southernmost province and largest special economic zone.

The peninsula has a 110-kilometer coastline and is known as an excellent natural port, with its calm, silt-free water. It is suitable for building 26 deep-water berths each of which can accommodate ships with at least 10,000 dead weight tonnage(dwt).

Located in the central belt of the Asian and Pacific Economic Rim and the center of the international sea-lane, the peninsula can be developed into a key international cargo collection and distribution center.

Yangpu Peninsula is endowed with rich natural resources. A survey shows that the sea areas in its southern and western parts abound in natural gas and oil, and the peninsula itself has plentiful salt and titanium deposits. In addition, deposits of coal, oil shale, high-quality quartzite and limestone have been found in areas near Yangpu. The district is a bonded area and various preferential policies are introduced for foreign businessmen.
