Yangpu Economic Development Zone, Industrial development zone in Danzhou, China
Yangpu Economic Development Zone is an industrial area on the Yangpu Peninsula with a deepwater port, an oil refinery, and storage facilities for crude oil. The site spans a large area and focuses on shipping, energy production, and storage operations.
The zone was approved by the State Council in 1992 as the first national development area where foreign investors were permitted to establish operations. This approval marked an important moment in opening China's economy to foreign investment.
The zone brings together companies from many countries operating side by side in manufacturing and storage facilities. Daily operations show how international and local industrial practices work together in this space.
The port has multiple berths for large ships that can dock throughout the year. Visitors should know that the area is primarily an industrial workspace focused on shipping and storage operations.
The refinery on site processes millions of tons of crude oil yearly and stores large quantities of liquefied petroleum gas. This energy production supplies not only the local region but also other provinces across southern China.
