Zhengzhou, the center of a national metroplitan area and significant logistics hub in Central China

Zhengzhou is a city steeped in history and culture and one of China’s Eight Ancient Capitals. It is located in central China and has connected many neighboring provinces as a transportation hub since ancient times. As the capital of Henan Province, Zhengzhou has grown into a trade and logistics center in Central China and made it to the list of National Central Cities. It holds a prominent position among China’s integrated transportation hubs and is one of inland China’s principal cities along the Belt and Road.

Zhengzhou has a distinct advantage in integrated transportation: it is one of the largest railway container centers in China and has the largest train fleet in Asia. Currently, the city is building Zhengzhou South Station, which will be China’s first integrated air-rail cargo distribution center. Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport is the busiest airport in central China in terms of both passenger and cargo traffic. By cargo and mail traffic, it is among the top ten busiest airports in China. Its two-hour aviation circle covers more than 90% of China’s population and markets.

Nowadays, Zhengzhou has seven pillar industries, including new materials, biology and medicine, electronic information, and automobile and equipment manufacturing, with the latter two clusters worth over 500 billion yuan respectively. By prioritizing its advanced manufacturing and high-tech industries, and making every effort to propel the development of emerging industries, the city has seen an ever-increasing driving force of emerging industries contributing towards the local economy.
