What city is Changxing Island in?

Changxing Island, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, is one of the three Chongming islands in Shanghai. Known as "Orange Town", "Pure Island" and "Changshou Island", the total area is about 160 square kilometers, of which the land area is about 93 square kilometers, and the planned industrial land area is about 27 square kilometers.

The scenic spots in Changxing Island mainly include Shanghai Orange Garden, Mongolian Village Racecourse, Pearl Garden, Shanghai Magic City, Pioneer Resort, Shisha Wildlife Park, Ludang Labyrinth in Green Island, Sing Tao Holiday Country Club and so on. Every year in late autumn, the Shanghai Citrus Festival held on the island is colorful and lively.

The deep-water coastline on the south bank of Changxing Island is nearly 20km, with a water depth of12m to16m, a deepest point of 22m and a width of about1000m. The water regime is stable and there is no sediment deposition, so it is suitable for building docks, port machinery, shipbuilding, ship repair and logistics transit bases. It can dock 300,000-ton ships with convenient access, which has laid a solid foundation for Changxing to develop its marine equipment industry.

Functional localization

In May 2008, the municipal government established the Mayor's Xingdao Development Office and Changxing Island Development Company. In September, 2008, the municipal government issued Decree No.7 to implement the Administrative Measures for the Development and Construction of Changxing Island in Shanghai. In February 2009, the municipal government approved the Master Plan of Changxing Island (2008-2020).

The above-mentioned major measures of the municipal government indicate that a new round of development and construction of Changxing Island has been fully launched and entered a standardized, orderly and scientific process. For Changxing Island, industry is the foundation, water is the lifeline and ecology is the key.

The development and construction of Changxing Island is related to the national strategy and the future development of Shanghai, and plays an important supporting role in the construction of Chongming Ecological Island. Therefore, the development and construction of Changxing Island should achieve three major goals: the national strategy can be effectively implemented, the local economy can develop rapidly, and the living standards of residents can be continuously improved.
