Overview
Established in 1992, Dalian Lüshun Economic Development Zone (DLEDZ) was made a provincial-level development zone of Liaoning in 2002 and covers 10.1 square kilometers. It was incorporated into Dalian’s development plan in 2004 and became one of the 10 key industrial parks of the city. In April 2008, DLEDZ was upgraded by the provincial government to a priority zone of the Liaoning Belt. It is situated at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, facing Shandong across the sea, neighboring the Yellow Sea to the east, and the Bohai Sea to the west. Located only 45 kilometers from downtown Dalian, it sits in the center of the Northeast Asia Economic Circle.
Industrial Environment
As a result of 17 years of development and construction, cumulatively 2.5 billion RMB (about 300 million USD) have been invested in the area. The development strategy includes transportation, water supply, electricity, heating, sewage, telecommunications and broadband networks. DLEDZ represents a rare provincial-level development zone in China, enjoying transportation advantages of ports, railways, train ferries, highways, and urban light rail. It is a land and water transport hub that connects the three economic zones in Northeast, East and South China, and is a logistics distribution center.
More than 200 domestic and foreign-funded projects have been introduced to the zone, with an actual capital utilization of more than 8 billion RMB (about 1.1 billion USD). In 2009, there were 34 key construction projects with planned investment over 30 million RMB (about 4.3 billion USD).
Ten well-known Chinese enterprise groups have set up factories in DLEDZ, including Dalian Heavy Industries, Dalian Crane Works Group, Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Group, Dalian Daxian Group, and China CNR Corp Group. Also, 50 shipbuilding and auxiliary equipment manufacturing firms have settled in the zone.
Functional Parks
The planning space of DLEDZ is 10.1 square kilometers, divided into three functional areas: processing and manufacturing park, port navigation logistics park, and tourism, education and residence park. DLEDZ features shipbuilding, supporting facilities of shipbuilding, major equipment manufacturing, high-tech and cultural industries, and navigation logistics in an excellent ecological environment.
