The origin of Hengyang Baishazhou Industrial Park (Shenzhen Industrial Park) in Baishazhou

Due to the vast stretches of beach and clear, shallow river water, Baishazhou Riverside once became the best natural swimming spot in Yancheng. Every summer and autumn, hundreds of citizens gather with friends and bring their children to play in the water, which becomes a grand scene. It was not until the completion of the Dayuandu Navigation and Electricity Junction in June 2000 that the rising water of the Xiangjiang River submerged the sandbar, and the place became quiet.

Baishazhou has been the place where the Ding family lived for generations. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the popularity of the Ding family was at its peak. Most of the Jinshi, Juren, and Jieyuan people in Hengzhou came from the Ding family.

From the old days until the eve of the founding of New China, the Baishazhou area was the largest timber distribution center in Hengyang. The rafts from Lingling and Qiyang mountainous areas went down the river and stationed on the Baishazhou River when they entered Hengyang. Buyers and sellers gathered here, and business was booming, so much so that a more than 300-meter-long Baishazhou Street was formed, with shops, restaurants, There are many teahouses and ship repair workshops, which are very lively. After liberation, with the transfer of timber sales locations, the Baishazhou riverside gradually became deserted.

But in the 1950s and 1960s, with the construction of a large number of industrial enterprises, the Baishazhou area became prosperous again. On April 22, 2007, with the official establishment of Hengyang Baishazhou Industrial Park (Shenzhen Industrial Park), the Baishazhou area entered a period of rapid development!
