Haicang has always been the port of call for incoming trade to Xiamen. In May 1989, the Chinese government established the Haicang investment zone as a petrochemical industrial area within Xinglin District for Taiwanese business magnate Wang Yongqing. Since then, Haicang has developed into a world class port, which serves as an industrial and agricultural base for exports.[1]

Port facilities at the southeastern promontory of Haicang District

During its planning, the district executive divided its Investment Zone into functional areas:[2]

  • Haicang Port covers an area of 12.4 square kilometres (4.8 sq mi). Developmental focus is on port transportation, the energy industry and warehousing (bonded storage). As many as 36 storage facilities capable of handing over 10,000 metric tons will be built (ten facilities in the first phase). The port railway spur of the Yingtan-Xiamen Railway was completed in 1999. The 5 kilometer deep water port is predicted to handle 90 million tons of goods annually.
  • Southern Industrial Area (南部工业区) is a flat region that covers 17.7 square kilometres (6.8 sq mi) and is adjacent to the port area. Developmental focus is on technology, especially capital-intensive heavy industry - machinery, electronics, metallurgy, and chemical fibre industries. Middle and downstream petro-chemical projects are especially favoured.
  • The Residential Area has a planned area of 27.6 square kilometres (10.7 sq mi), and will be a major suburb of Xiamen. Developmental focus is on real estate and tertiary industry. There are already facilities such as banks, commerce and trade centers, tourist locations, public communication areas, primary and secondary schools, professional training centers, hospitals, hotels, recreation, entertainment and cafes.
  • Xinyang Industrial Area (新阳工业区) is a key industrial area for both Haicang and the whole Xiamen municipal region. The planned area is 29.6 square kilometres (11.4 sq mi); developmental focus is on capital, technology, and small to medium industries - machinery, electronics, fine chemicals, plastic, rubber and new building materials. Infrastructure facilities, including roads, water supply, power supply, post, drainage and waste discharge, are top-notch. There are commercial, real estate and public facilities. Over a hundred projects have planned in the area, and over thirty are in production; when all have reached full production, their total value will be around 10 billion yuan.
  • Dongfu Industrial Area (东孚工业区) and Xiamen Export Processing Zone (AEPZ, 出口加工区) have subsidiary, special roles in the District's Investment Zone plan.
