◎ Our regional symbol: Caofeidian

On the shore of the Bohai Bay in the south of Tangshan, there is a magical place called Caofeidian. It is 80 kilometers away from downtown Tangshan, 220 kilometers from downtown Beijing, 120 kilometers from downtown Tianjin, and 170 kilometers from downtown Qinhuangdao. As one of the two subareas of Tangshan Port, Caofeidian Port has obvious advantages, that is, there is a deep trough on the side facing the sea, and shallow water on the side facing the land, which provide a favorable condition for the construction of large-scale deep-water ports and the development of port-related industries.(https://www.daowen.com)

According to the Master Plan of Caofeidian Circular Economy Demonstration Zone Industrial Development approved by the national government, Caofeidian functions as a port for collecting and distributing bulk goods such as energy products and ore, a new industrial base, a commercial energy reserve base, and a national circular economy demonstration zone, a business and leisure center in northern China, and an ecological and livable new coastal city. The CPC Hebei Provincial Committee and Provincial Government attach great importance to the development and construction of Caofeidian, and have approved the establishment of Caofeidian New Area, including Caofeidian Industrial Zone, Caofeidian Ecological City, Nanpu Development Zone and Tanghai County. With Caofeidian New Area as the core, the CPC Tangshan Municipal Committee and the Tangshan Municipal Government are working together to build Tangshan Bay, with the goal of creating a “new Tangshan” in the near future.
