Fuzhou is located at the center of sea and air lines of Asian regions with fast economic growth, the center of China’s coastal open zones and the center of the economically developed Yangtze River Delta and Zhujiang River Delta, so it enjoys a favorable geographic position. Construction of the airport, harbor, coastal highways and railway would further enhance its position advantages.


Nantaidao Island is positioned at the west and south parts of the central urban area of Fuzhou, where enjoys a quite accessible water and air traffic. On the island are beautiful hills covered with trees. There are rich cultural and folk resources. There are about 60 high learning institutions and scientific research institutes at Cangshan area, where is the most important existing base of Fuzhou for culture, education and scientific research. Nantaidao Island’s Cangshan area has relatively developed industry and economy. There are Cangshan SciTech park area and Cangshan industrial area. In 2001, the industrial output value was RMB4.5 billion. Nantaidao Island has set up industrial bases at Jinshan investment area, Gaishan investment area and Chengmen investment area. It is a key place of Fuzhou for urban construction and investment at present. It will play a very important role in the development of this century. On one hand, it is a new growing point of Fuzhou, a new urban area to undertake the task of city expansion and increase of city’s total economic volume; on other hand, it takes the task of sharing functions of Gulou and Taijiang Districts, scattering the population and traffic at the old urban area, thus bringing city’s development to a virtuous cycle.
