Chongqing Liangjiang New Area was established on June 18, 2011. It is the first national level development area in inland China, and the third nationwide after Shanghai Pudong New Area and Tianjian Binhai New Area.

Liangjiang New Area is located north of the Yangtze River and east of the Jialing River. It has three administrative areas: Jiangbei District, Beipei District and Yubei district, with a total area of 1,200 square kilometers, of which 550 square kilometers could be developed.

The State Council has designated five strategic orientations for the new area: demonstration area for scientific development, gateway of the inland region, a pilot zone for urban-rural reform, an advanced manufacturing and modern service center, and a financial center and innovation center in the upstream Yangtze River.

Policy environment oriented with domestic consumption

Liangjiang New Area focuses on domestic consumption in its plans for development. The key industrial projects invested in Liangjiang Industrial Development Zone will benefit from the preferential policies and support in addition to the five major policies - China's western development policy, Innovative Balancing of the Urban and Rural Overall development policy, the State Council's No. 3 about import and export policy, inland bonded port areas policy, as well as the current policies in Pudong coast and the right to pilot implementation.

Opening model of inland openness

The two processing trade modes developed by Liangjiang New Area, i.e. "one end in and one end out" as well as "both ends in," elevate the utilization of foreign capital and attracts leader-type and core-type large-scale transnational enterprises to base their functional projects, such as regional headquarters, R & D institutions, merchandise distribution centers, purchasing centers, settlement centers, etc. in the Liangjiang New Area.

Ecological new area with reform

Liangjiang New Area is more than an industrial development zone, because of its bigger population and better ecological conditions. In terms of the mode of development, Liangjiang New Area adheres to the concepts of low carbon economy and independent innovation and works to strengthen resource conservation and environmental protection - in order to build a new area with a beautiful environment and good ecology.
