The city of Zunyi, located in southwest China’s Guizhou Province, has a storied past as a former revolutionary base. For years, its remote location kept it isolated from global trade and development opportunities.
That changed with the advent of the New Land-Sea Corridor, a comprehensive network of rail, road, and waterways. Since opening to traffic, this corridor has revitalized Zunyi by breaking its isolation and connecting it to the wider world.
A local steel cable manufacturer exemplifies this transformation. The enhanced transport network has significantly boosted the company’s export efficiency. With freight now passing smoothly through Gelaoba station, their products reach international markets more quickly and reliably.
Additionally, the development of the Zunyi Free Trade Zone has attracted businesses looking to capitalize on the city’s improved logistics and connectivity. The combination of the New Land-Sea Corridor and the Free Trade Zone has made Zunyi an increasingly attractive place to set up operations.
The economic impact is evident. As businesses flock to the city, economic growth is accelerating. New job opportunities are emerging, and the residents of Zunyi are reaping the benefits of this revitalization.
By integrating into global trade networks, Zunyi is transforming from a once-isolated revolutionary base into a burgeoning economic hub in southwest China. The New Land-Sea Corridor stands as a testament to the significant role infrastructure development plays in regional growth and prosperity.
