Haicang District
Haicang is one of the six county-level districts in the municipal region of Xiamen, Fujian, and one of the four located on the mainland proper, as opposed to on Xiamen Island. In May 1989, Chinese central government established the Haicang investment zone as a petrochemical industrial area within Xinglin District for Taiwanese business magnate Wang Yongqing. Since then, Haicang has developed world class port, industrial and agricultural base for exports.
Haicang District Investment Zone is located on the lowermost left (or northern) bank of the Jiulongjiang River, to the west of Xiamen Island. The left bank provides 5 km of coastline with shallow water of 10m. The urban (eastern) area of the District is separated from Xiamen Island by an 870 metre stretch of water crossed by the Haicang Bridge.
The government of Haicang Investment Zone actively invites foreign investment in high technology and capital intensive industries, with emphasis on electronics, manufacturing, petrochemicals, machinery, refined chemicals, new building materials, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals industry.
