Zhuhai Jinwan: Sowing the “first seeds of spring”
In the first quarter, 64 projects with a total investment of 33.58 billion yuan were signed and started, with the number of projects and total investment doubling year-on-year.
Another spring benefit. The seeds of industry and the hope of the city are being sown in Zhuhai.
On February 20, Zhuhai held a centralized signing and construction start event for major projects in the first quarter. In Jinwan District, the main venue, 64 projects were unveiled, with a total investment of 33.58 billion yuan, of which the planned investment in 2024 exceeds 10 billion yuan, accounting for more than 1/3 of the city.
It is worth noting that this is the second time within three days that Jinwan has become the main venue that attracted the attention of the whole city of Zhuhai. Jinwan, which frequently appears in the spotlight, is being regarded as the key to Zhuhai's breakthrough.
From the city's high-quality development conference to the centralized signing of major projects and the start of construction, the signal released by serving as the "main venue" twice is not difficult to capture. For Zhuhai, Jinwan must become the main position, support point and power source.
At a time when Zhuhai has proposed to build another important engine for the province's high-quality development, Jinwan has a new mission role, forging the "core of the engine", advancing toward "big and strong", and accelerating the growth of Zhuhai's urban energy level. Contribute to the strength of Jinwan.
Strive to attract more than 100 billion investment throughout the year
Why does Jinwan play the leading role? Let’s first look at a set of data: the number of concentrated projects started in Jinwan District in the first quarter accounted for 28% of the city’s total, and the annual planned investment was 10.419 billion yuan, accounting for 35% of the city’s total. If compared with itself, Jinwan’s progress is clearer. In 2024, the number of concentrated projects started in Jinwan and the total investment amount in the first quarter will double compared with 2023.
Behind the rising numbers is Jinwan’s eager entrepreneurial passion. People in this land are full of energy to compete for time and economy. Large quantity, high growth rate, large investment and fast implementation are becoming the epitome of the current "running and fast progress" of industrial project construction in Jinwan District.
Among the projects started this time, there are 41 industrial projects in Jinwan, with the total investment and annual planned investment accounting for about 60% of the total. These include a number of key industries and industry pillar projects such as Federal API, Keheng New Energy, Zhuhai Great Health, and Huafa Energy Storage. The output value of the project is expected to be 75.8 billion yuan after reaching full capacity.
Among the many projects unveiled that day, Zhuhai United Lab Co., Ltd. ("United Lab" for short) is a typical representative. As a modern advanced pharmaceutical company that has been operating in Jinwan Sanzao for more than 25 years, United Lab has an annual output value of nearly 7 billion yuan and has paid a total of more than 4 billion yuan in taxes.
The mutual support along the way has established a high degree of mutual trust between government and enterprises. Standing in front of a new development window, United Laboratories once again gave its vote of confidence to Jinwan.
As a new capital increase and production expansion project, the Federal API Project is planned to be located on the northeast side of Pingwan 3rd Road in the Petrochemical Industry Zone, covering an area of about 280 acres, with a planned investment of 3.05 billion yuan, of which 1.7 billion yuan will be invested in fixed assets. The project will be completed after it is fully put into production. The annual output value exceeds 4 billion yuan and the annual tax revenue is approximately 400 million yuan.
The good news continues to come. At the main venue of the centralized signing and construction start event, Liang Yaobin, Secretary of the Jinwan District Party Committee and Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhuhai Economic and Technological Development Zone, revealed in his speech that in the first quarter of this year, Jinwan had 42 newly signed projects with a total investment of 37.27 billion yuan, of which There are 39 industrial projects with a total investment of 34.6 billion yuan.
There is a steady stream of industrial activity. Facing a good start with intensive construction starts in the first quarter and investment in newly signed projects exceeding 30 billion yuan, this year Jinwan will continue to promote the "top project" of investment promotion and attract investment accurately around the "5+2" industrial chain. It strives to introduce more than 200 new key industrial projects in 2024, with contracted investment and investment exceeding 100 billion yuan, continuing to bring new momentum to the development of Jinwan.
Adhering to the principle that the project is king, everything revolves around the project, and everything is focused on the project. Jinwan is ready to do something big.
Accelerate the sharing of big transportation dividends
Turning our attention back to the main venue of this event, the Zhuhai Central Station (Hezhou) Hub Station-City Integrated Project Site, from a geographical perspective, is located in Hudong Community, Hongqi Town, Jinwan District. Jinwan District, which has just ushered in the opening of the second phase of the Zhuji-Jinjiang Intercity Intercity and entered the rail era, will add another major rail transit hub project.
The entire project has a construction scale of approximately 610,000 square meters and a total investment of approximately 5.7 billion yuan. It will play an extremely important supporting, leading and driving role in promoting the coordinated development of east and west Zhuhai, expanding the urban development pattern, and enhancing the status and capabilities of Zhuhai's transportation hub. It is a key project to integrate Zhuhai into the national high-speed rail network.
At the same time, the Zhuhai-Jiangmen section of the Zhuhai-Zhaohai High-speed Railway has also entered an intense construction stage. The line has a total length of 44.352 kilometers and a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, of which 29.965 kilometers are within Zhuhai City and connected to the Zhuhai Central Station (Hezhou) hub. "According to the plan, the project will start construction across the entire line this year and is expected to be completed and open to traffic in 2027." said Yan Ping, member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Zhuhai Rail Transit Bureau.
The future is promising and the future is coming. The "sea, land, air and rail" transportation system continues to improve, and Jinwan, which is close to waterfront buildings, is expected to be the first to share the transportation dividends of the "hub city".
In fact, in recent years, Jinwan has continued to optimize its traffic environment at a rate that changes almost every year. On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, the first phase of the Jinhai Highway Bridge and the second phase of the Zhuhai-Jinjiang Intercity Railway were opened to traffic at the same time. Another important channel for transportation between the east and west of Zhuhai has been shortened from the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone to Jinwan to 10-15 minutes, and from Zhuhai to The journey from the airport to Gongbei is shortened to 25 minutes.
To the east, the Jinhai Bridge and the second phase of the Zhuji-Jizhou Intercity Intercity were successfully opened to traffic; to the west, the construction of the Huangmaohai cross-sea channel was accelerated; the second phase of the Hegang Expressway, which was opened to traffic at the end of last year, runs through Jinwan and connects the east and west ends. Airports, ports, and industrial linkages have become smoother, and the industrial space expansion and functional radiation connecting western Guangdong and radiating southwest China have also been further enhanced.
A set of data shows that last year, the annual cargo throughput of Gaolan Port reached 106 million tons, an increase of 17.6%. The annual passenger throughput of Zhuhai Airport reached 11.457 million, an increase of 186%. This Spring Festival, Zhuhai Airport has set a new record. During the eight-day holiday, there were an average of 287 guaranteed flights and 43,500 inbound and outbound passengers per day, an increase of 41% and 65% year-on-year in 2023, surpassing the same period in 2019 and reaching a record high.
What was once a transportation terminal has been transformed into a transportation hub. The dividend period brought by the "sea, land, air and rail" transportation pattern is coming, and the opportunities belonging to Jinwan are also coming.
Kicks off the construction of urban centers in western China
Aiming at the goal of serving as "the main front for the city's industrial development, a support point for urban function improvement, and an important source of power for Zhuhai's economic energy level to move to a higher level", Jinwan is opening its own era of "main venue".
As Liang Yaobin said at the main venue of the city’s high-quality development conference two days ago, “Jinwan has obvious industrial foundation advantages and bright economic development prospects. It is fully qualified and capable of moving towards a larger scale and a higher level. We are full of confidence in this. confidence."
If people are diligent, spring will come early, and their achievements will be realized in autumn. Wandering in the warm spring sunshine, Jinwan is accelerating the transformation of the "construction drawings" in his hands into "real-life paintings".
According to the plan, Jinwan District will comprehensively accelerate the construction of the western urban center in 2024. Anchoring the goal of building a "modern western central city with advanced forms, diverse vitality, suitable for living, working and traveling", the first phase will use a total of 10 square kilometers of land in Area B, Nantuo District and part of the core area of Aviation New City as the core of the western city center. District, promoting the construction of the Western Central Business District of Zhuhai at a high level.
Among the 19 infrastructure projects started intensively in Jinwan this time, the municipal road construction project (Phase I) in the core area of the western city center has attracted particular attention. Not only does it have the highest total investment of 2.83 billion yuan, it also means that Jinwan District has officially begun to comprehensively accelerate the construction of the western urban center. It is reported that the first batch of the project will start the construction of Angao Road, Hubin Road, Chengxiang Road and other roads, and the remaining main and branch road networks will start successively.
"At present, there are more than 100 construction workers on site. The construction of the project will play an important fundamental supporting role in Zhuhai's construction of a western city center." Guo Guiqin, chairman of Zhuhai Huazhao Development Co., Ltd. said. According to the construction progress, the project plans to complete the soft foundation treatment and foundation construction within 6 months. By the end of this year, the first batch of roads to be started will be open to traffic.
This is the latest practice of Zhuhai’s westward expansion and integration of industry and city. In the future, this area is expected to grow into the "heart of the city" in western Zhuhai, providing basic support for the introduction of new productive forces in the city, and becoming a strategic expansion space for Zhuhai to improve its energy level. The "Ten Years of City Building" of the Aviation New City is just the beginning. As the story of "Westward Expansion to the South" begins, a new "city building" contract for the new Jinwan begins again.
Don’t stop chasing the wind and the moon, concentrate your efforts and work hard. Entering 2024, the enterprising Jinwan has written its determination and confidence on the hot spot of the industry, "written" to answer the "examination paper" of high-quality development, used actions to interpret its responsibilities, and used results to give back expectations.
