Foshan High-tech Industrial Development Zone
China Knowledge Press, June 2011, Pages: 25
Foshan High-tech Industrial Development Zone (Foshan HIDZ) rated “A” by China Knowledge in a research report published today. The industrial park won approval from the State Council to be a state-level development zone in 1992, and covers an area of 10 sq km.
In 2008, Chancheng Economic Development Zone (Chancheng EDZ), Shunde Industrial Zone (Shunde IZ), Nanhai Economic Development Zone (Foshan Nanhai EDZ, including Guangdong Finance High-tech Service Zone), Foshan Nanhai Industrial Zone (Foshan Nanhai IZ), Foshan Sanshui Industrial Zone (Foshan Sanshui IZ) and Foshan Gaoming Cangjiang Industrial Zone (Foshan Gaoming Cangjiang IZ) were all integrated into Foshan HIDZ, which covers an area of 48.6 sq km.
Foshan is situated in the northern part of the Pearl River Delta. The city is bordered by Guangzhou to the east. It takes an hour to drive from Foshan to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Guangzhou Port or Guangzhou Railway Station. Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport was the third-largest airport in mainland China in 2008 in terms of cargo traffic.
State Highway 321, State Highway 324 and State Highway 325 run through Foshan HIDZ, while the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway, the Foshan-Zhuhai Highway and the Guangzhou-Sanshui Highway connect the zone with Zhuhai, Guangzhou and other major cities in the Pearl River Delta. Nanhai Sanshan Port and an inland river port are also located in the zone. They have annual handling capacities of 0.3 million TEUs and 2 million tons of freight, respectively.
Industrial parks rated A have above-average investor appeal. Basic conditions are adequate, but improvements are still needed in some areas. There are 50 single A rated industrial parks among 254 rated by China Knowledge since 2003.
