Yangpu Bonded Port Area, part of the Yangpu Economic Development Zone, was approved in September 2007 and opened in October 2008. It is Hainan's only import port for grain and meat, the closest gateway to the South China Sea, and the bridgehead for the construction of China ASEAN Free Trade Area. 

Covering about 9.2 square kilometers in the northwest of Hainan's Yangpu Peninsula, Yangpu Bonded Port Area boasts the shortest distance to international main sea routes among all of China's petrochemical bases. It is surrounded by sea in three directions and richly endowed with deep-water wharves and convenient transportation. 

It is downwind and conducive for developing port-oriented industries, including export processing, bonded warehousing, shipping, petrol, natural gas, chemical materials, logistics, and cross-border e-commerce.

According to the official statistics of 2018, the area's industrial output recorded 91.8 billion yuan ($13.7 billion), up 23.8 percent year on year. Its import-export volume totaled 39.7 billion yuan, up 1.9 percent year on year.
