Advantages of QETDZ |
|
1) An Ideal geographical location
Hailed as the ¡°rear garden of Beijing and Tianjin¡±, Qinhuangdao joins the northern China economic zone with its northeastern counterpart. It is situated at the center of the Bohai-Rim Economic Circle, a prime location in the Beijing-Tianjin metropolitan region, and serves as a gateway to the Pacific for northern, northeastern and northwestern Chinese cities. The city therefore boasts a unique advantageous geographical position in terms of being supported by the ¡°radiative¡± benefits of surrounding metropolises, such as Beijing, Tianjin and old industrial bases in the Northeast China. Located 280km away from Beijing, 245km from Tianjin and 365km from Shenyang, Qinhuangdao is fully-accessible to a huge domestic market of over 300 million consumers across some 30 medium/big-sized Chinese cities.
2) Highly-developed traffic networks
QETDZ is located in the juncture of the Circum-Bohai City Belt. It is the gateway to North China, Northeast China, and Northwest China. Lying in the center of Northeast Asia, it is the nearest point of departure of the Eurasian Continental Bridge. Qinhuangdao Port, with an annual throughput in excess of 250 million tons, has regular clients all across the world in over 130 countries and regions worldwide, providing them with specialized berths professionally designed for bulk/container cargo, petroleum and chemical products and heavy/oversize equipments, etc. Major railways of Beijing-Harbin, Beijing-Qinhuangdao and Datong-Qinhuangdao join in Qinhuangdao. Beijing-Qinhuangdao express railway, China¡¯s first high-grade passenger line is in operation. When Tianjin-Beijing inter-city railway line is completed, Qinhuangdao will be one of the cities in Beijing-Tianjin 1-hour-trip economic circle. Beijing-Shenyang expressway, the coastal expressway and State highways G102 and G205 work in a swift highway network, with Chengde-Qinhuangdao expressway construction started in 2009. Shanhaiguan Airport presently operates airways serving more than 20 medium/big-sized Chinese cities, and the site selection report for the new international airport has been approved by Civil Aviation Administration of China.
3) Favorable investment environment and fully-developed infrastructure
Qinhuangdao ranks among the top 40 most sought-after Chinese cities for investors. The QETDZ offers the investors an ideal investment environment, advanced supporting facilities, a first-class public utility system, second-to-none road communications and telecommunication services. An internationalized business atmosphere, coupled with first-rate infrastructural facilities, will surely prove an added bonus for local companies for their future success.
4) Sufficient supply of human resources
Showcasing strong research strength and resources as well as a higher density of qualified professionals than all other Hebei cities, Qinhuangdao is home to: 13 higher education institutions and 29 high/middle vocational schools, with a combined student population of 150,000 and a yearly supply of 50,000 fresh graduates; a large number of established public and private research institutions, staffed by around 190,000 fully-educated professional employees. Local employers are, therefore, assured of a reliable supply of human resources all year round.
5) Perfect and highly-efficient government service system
Guided by a service concept which attaches primary importance to investors and taxpayers as our benefactors and a ¡°5-star¡± branding strategy dubbed ¡°total involvement, total devotion, total process, all inclusive and round-the-clock¡± services, the QETDZ Administrative Committee took the lead among all domestic development zones in establishing a ¡°one-stop¡± government service center and three service systems respectively characterized by: streamlined application procedures for investors seeking government approval for their proposed projects; all-inclusive services throughout the application processes; service ¡°routinization¡± for operational projects. In addition, three measures have also been vigorously implemented at the QETDZ to ensure the high standard of our services, and they are the ¡°pre-commitment¡± policy, ¡°service deadline¡± policy and ¡°full representation¡± policy, all with the aim of facilitating business operations of the investors and ensuring an excellent return for their investment.
6) Ecological and housing excellence, making the QETDZ a paradise for residents and investors
Throughout the development of the QETDC, consistent emphasis has been placed on the issue of a healthy ecological environment. Any project proposed to enter the QETDZ may be vetoed solely on environmental grounds, if it fails to meet relevant requirements. A series of urban projects with regional excellence, e.g. a public square, a central square dedicated to investment-related services, the Xiangyuan Garden and the Forest Sports Park, have been completed at the QETDZ, as a result of which it is designated as the first National ISO14000 Demonstrative Site in Hebei and a Model City for Environment Protection. Its exceptional natural beauty, advanced healthcare system and first-rate community and entertainment facilities have made the QETDC a real home from home for investors.
