Changxing is located in the center of the Yangtze River Delta, about150km away from Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Suzhou, Wuxi and Wuhu. It consists of two national highways (Beijing-Fuzhou National Highway 104, Shanghai-Lhasa National Highway 3 18), three expressways (Hangning-Hangning Expressway, Hangchang Expressway, Huhe-Zhejiang-Anhui Expressway) and three railways (Jiangsu Xinyi-Zhejiang Changxing Railway, a land-sea corridor connecting the northeast with the Yangtze River Delta). And a "golden waterway" (Changxing-Huzhou-Shanghai) with an annual transportation capacity of over 20 million tons and the reputation of "Oriental Rhine" meet and converge in Changxing, which makes Changxing closely connected with surrounding large and medium-sized city easy and provides superior convenience for Changxing's smooth logistics and economic development. Changxing became the sub-center of Shanghai logistics, sharing the transit pressure of Shanghai logistics.
Changxing, the pearl of Taihu Lake, has profound cultural heritage. Changxing County was founded in the third year of Jin Taikang (AD 282) and was promoted to the state in the early years of Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1369), the state was changed into a county with a history of 1700 years. Changxing is the hometown of Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, and still retains the sacred well where he bathed in the world. Cha Sheng Lu Yu wrote his masterpiece Tea Classic in Changxing, becoming the founder of China tea culture, and Changxing became the birthplace of tea culture. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, Gui Youguang, a great essayist, and Wu Cheng'en, a novelist, jointly ruled Changxing County. The three steles, Preface to Shengjing Ming, Mengdingtang Story and Changxing County Name, written by Gui and Wu, are still well preserved. Wu Cheng'en has accumulated a lot of materials for writing Journey to the West in Changxing County. Changxing also preserves the handwriting of a generation of masters such as Zhao Peggy, a great painter and calligrapher in the Yuan Dynasty. Changxing's folk art is also very rich, including the wonderful folk art "Baiyelong", which represents the country's visit to Southeast Asian countries and participates in the New Year Lantern Festival in China and New Zealand, as well as the religious culture in fairy mountain, and the Changxing limestone reserve, which is listed as a world geological heritage and named "Golden Nail". Changxing, an old revolutionary base area, has a state-level cultural relics protection unit and the former site of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Military Command of the New Fourth Army, and is known as "Little Yan 'an in the south of the Yangtze River".
Changxing, the pearl of Taihu Lake, is rich in natural resources. Changxing District covers an area of 1430 square kilometers and is rich in land resources, with 600,000 mu of cultivated land, 65,438+10,000 mu of dry land, 900,000 mu of forest land and 65,438+10,000 mu of water surface.

There are four famous "Changxing treasures": ginkgo, chestnut, green plum and Trichosanthes kirilowii; There are three world-famous "three wonders of tea tasting": purple bamboo shoot tea, teapot, Jinsha spring and so on. Changxing is adjacent to Tianmu in the west and Taihu Lake in the east, forming a superior natural landscape environment. The natural and cultural landscapes are rich and unique, and the development potential of tourism resources is huge. In particular, the "Golden Nail" geological relics protection area, the Shili Ancient Ginkgo Corridor and the Chinese alligator protection area are rare natural heritages in the world. The coastline of Taihu Lake, which stretches for 34 kilometers, provides a broad space for the development of tourism. We have conducted an international consultation on the tourism development planning around Taihu Lake with a square kilometer of 1.6, and plan to make the southwest bank of Taihu Lake a unique and well-known tourist and leisure resort at home and abroad through several years of efforts.

In accordance with the goal of building a national first-class development zone, adhere to the high starting point planning and high standard construction, and make the county's efforts to run the development zone well. The county economic development zone has a planned total area of 25 square kilometers, basically achieving nine connections and one leveling. The main roads in the area are all designed according to the national first-class highway standards, with a width of 66 meters and a public greening rate of 40%. Water supply, power supply, heat supply, gas supply, drainage, sewage discharge and communication pipelines have been laid in place at one time. At the same time, efforts should be made to create an atmosphere of pro-business, safe business, support business and wealthy businessmen, and an examination and approval center, an investment service center and a foreign complaint center should be established, so as to strive for quickness, high quality and trustworthiness and continuously improve the investment service environment. Up to 2003, nearly 100 foreign-invested enterprises from the United States, Hongkong, Taiwan Province and other countries and regions have settled in Changxing, and a number of large-scale projects have successively settled in Changxing.
