Park development in Weihai Lingang Economic and Technological Development Zone

The triangular area where Xianshan Town (mǎn shān dialect), Wangtuan Town, and Caomiaozi Town are located has ushered in a new development opportunity. As practitioners of the Weihai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government's major strategic decisions based on Weihai's long-term development, the new district management committee members who took office at the beginning of their appointment were deeply thinking about how Weihai Lingang District should be positioned and what development path it should take. On the grand map of integrated Weihai, a new regional economic sector - Weihai Lingang District, is rising strongly.

High starting point planning park: Aiming at modern advanced manufacturing and high-tech industries, planning a series of parks for new materials, automobiles, ships, etc., and a number of special project areas such as carbon fiber materials, automobile accessories, ship accessories, electromechanical tools, etc. have been established one after another;

High-standard construction carriers: the construction of roads, tap water, sewage, gas pipe networks, etc. in the area is in full swing, and the infrastructure is improving day by day;

High-speed promotion of industrial agglomeration: around Industrial layout, introduction of leaders, and promotion of supporting facilities. Up to now, Weihai Lingang District has introduced nearly 100 key projects worth over 100 million yuan, with a total investment of more than 43 billion yuan.

Scientific planning, optimizing industrial layout and undertaking international industrial transfers, the peninsula city cluster where Weihai is located plays an irreplaceable and important role. Developing modern advanced manufacturing and high-tech industries and creating a new growth pole for the regional economy has become a unanimous choice for members of the Peninsula Urban Agglomeration.

Looking at Weihai, the integrated “Greater Weihai” development blueprint points out the goals and direction for Weihai’s progress. The proposal of the integrated "Greater Weihai" stems from the Weihai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government's consideration of Weihai's external environment and its own development needs - "Weihai City has innate advantages in undertaking the transfer of industries from Japan and South Korea, but The large-scale effective integration of resources in the region is insufficient, and Weihai City must build a larger platform to undertake the transfer of world industries." The establishment of Weihai Lingang District is one of the results of this consideration of the Weihai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

“This determines that Weihai Lingang District must be based on the present, focus on the future, and plan its own development closely around the city’s industrial layout.” said Xu Lianxin, Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Weihai Lingang District .

With scientific planning as the guide, Weihai Lingang District has opened up a large framework for industrial gathering.

In this regard, Xu Lianxin explained road.

To this end, they specially hired experts from Tongji University to conduct conceptual planning for the new area. As the expert plan gradually takes shape, a number of characteristic project areas such as the Carbon Fiber Materials Industrial Park, Automobile Supporting Industrial Park, Shipbuilding Supporting Industrial Park, and Mechanical and Electrical Tools Industrial Park have been established one after another. After the Triangle Industrial Park is completed, it will become the world's largest specialized tire production base; Taiwan Industrial Park has introduced 16 projects of various types, with a total investment of US$400 million.
