In the wave of urbanization in China, Chengdu's eastward development is writing a new chapter. On July 29, more than 20 representatives from overseas Chinese media visited Chengdu Eastern New Area to gain first-hand insight into the development momentum of this vibrant region.
As the "youngest" new area in Chengdu, Chengdu Eastern New Area has, since its establishment in April 2020, become a key platform for Chengdu to overcome topographical constraints and expand urban space. With the accelerated construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, Chengdu Eastern New Area, which focuses on high-end manufacturing, has emerged as a key hub for synergistic connectivity between Chengdu and Chongqing. It not only hosts cutting-edge industries such as new energy vehicles, aviation manufacturing, and biomedicine but also integrates smart city and digital technologies into transportation, energy, and public services, providing residents with an efficient, convenient smart lifestyle. Relying on Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, the Eastern New Area is accelerating its integration into the global network and emerging as a new gateway for opening-up and cooperation in China's inland regions.

In terms of industries, Jianzhou New Town is focusing on emerging sectors such as intelligent manufacturing equipment, new energy and connected and intelligent vehicles, new energy and clean energy equipment, future transportation, digital intelligence, and advanced energy technologies, striving to build a modern industrial system that integrates advanced manufacturing and producer services.
