In terms of city construction, Chen proposes 4 aspects to work on. Firstly, they will build an urban framework. The key projects in the immediate future are the 20.5-kilometer Nanjiangbin Road with a total investment of ¥8.9 billion and the 18.9-kilometer Yuanshan Avenue with an investment of ¥4.1 billion. High-tech Middle Road and Pouqian Avenue are under construction and will be put to use next year. The construction of Jinfeng Bridge and Donghuancheng Bridge is still in its preliminary work. When the work above is done, an urban road network with “two vertical and five horizontal roads and avenues” will function as the framework for city and industry integration. Secondly, they will promote supportive facilities in the city with the focus on “five stadiums and one theater” with a ¥2.1 billion investment. They strive to complete Yancuo Central Primary School and Lianfu Primary School ahead of schedule and work harder to finish other municipal public service facilities like sewage treatment plants and South Bus Station.Thirdly, they will promote cultural ecology by laying emphasis on promoting “Southern Fujian and Zhangzhou Characteristics”, by speeding up the construction of Southern Fujian Cultural Ecology Exposition Center and Southern Fujian Cultural Ecology Industry Corridor, and by building a cultural creative industry to support the exhibition, exchange and experience of culture and folk customs in Fujian and Taiwan. Fourthly, they will build more placements of the housing. Adhering to “taking people’s theyllbeing as a higher priority”, they will make great efforts to the new placement project covering 3 million㎡ of 10 plots in Eastern Part of Yuanshan New City and Theystern Clusters. Meanwhile, they will keep working on placements covering 700 thousand ㎡ in Baiyun and Lianfu.

In terms of industrial development, Chen proposes 5 aspects to work on. Firstly, they will research and formulate industrial policies. They will speed up formulating industrial policies based on the industrial orientation and development layout of High-tech Zone, set up a clear review mechanism and an entrancing threshold, drive the municipal government to introduce preferential policies to support the high-tech industry so policies can be of real guidance and promotion. Secondly, they will speed up the industrial development. They will focus on high-tech industry with advanced manufacturing, bio-pharmaceutical and electronic information being the main parts, proactively cultivate culture creative industry and speed up improving the overall industrial strength. At the same time, they will encourage traditional industries to adopt high and new technologies to transform themselves, guide and upgrade traditional enterprises that yield good returns and are of large scale. Thirdly, they will strengthen investment attraction. They will, for the sake of prioritized high-tech industries, formulate project planning carefully to attract targeted central enterprises and SOEs, especially large enterprises with cooperative intentions, to introduce industrial leading enterprises and supportive projects so that they can faster form industrial clusters and make a leading park that is high-grade, precision and advanced.

Ecology is one of Zhangzhou High-tech Zone’s Strengths. In term of ecological civilization, Chen proposes 3 aspects to work on. Firstly, they will stick to take ecological planning as the top priority. They will make city planning, industrial planning and land use planning according to ecological planning. They will rationally set up developing borders for unban and industrial development and set up specific ecological preservation area according to resources and environmental carrying capacity. Jiulong River, Mount Yuan, Narcissus’ Country of Origin, Litchi Sea Park are key protected areas. There are two “green wedges” (wedge-shape green space stretching from fringe to inner city to promote the ecological quality in the city) intersecting the all three parts (Eastern, Middle and Western) of Yuanshan New City as its ecological shields. Secondly, they will strength ecological construction and protection and speed up the construction of eco-park projects like Narcissus Park and the second stage of Litchi Sea Park. Thirdly, they will make benefits from our ecology. They will integrate and beautify traditional villages on the basis of traditional flower industrial villages and under the goal of building rich and beautiful villages. They will focus on developing modern agriculture, especially the flower industry, creative culture and tourism, to build miniature versions of characteristic villages integrating novelty, industry and ecology.

Chen said, Zhangzhou High-tech Zone will develop in a “high, new, rigorous, fast” way. By “high”, they mean sticking to planning from a high starting point and implementing according to high standards, planning into the long future yet never hesitate to act. By “new”, they mean creating new mechanisms where government guides and market orients so that they can achieve mutual development, shared benefits and overall development. By “rigorous”, they mean setting up rigorous project review mechanisms to ensure project quality and build brand for high technology in Zhangzhou. By “fast”, they mean developing fast, delivering service fast and implement projects fast to show the outside a new Zhangzhou High-tech Zone at a full swing gathering numerous enterprises, making contributions to the scientific and great-leap-forward development of this city.
