Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone was approved as
state-level deveopment zone in April 1993. The zone has a developed area of 10
square kilometers.
Geographical
Location
Wuhu Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ)
is situated in north Wuhu, Anhui Province. Facing East China and backed by
Middle China, Wuhu is one of the important cities in the Yangtze Delta Economic
Rim.
Communication and Transportation
The main traffic routes
in the zone are part of the municipal transportation network and are directly
joined with three expressways leading to Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Hefei. The
largest dual-use (railway and highway) bridge over the Yangtze River is in Wuhu
and 3 expressways and 5 railways converge here. Wuhu Harbor is also the last
deep-water port at the upper stream of the Yangtze River joining all important
ports around the globe. Water carriage routes were opened to such designations
as Hong Kong, Japan and Southeast Asia. WEDZ is one hour's ride to Luokou
International Airport of Nanjing, and Luogang Airport of Hefei, both of which
have flights to major domestic and foreign destinations.
