Huayuankou shines in new materials

Huayuankou is emerging as a star in Dalian as it moves to become a State-level new materials base.

Part of the strategic Liaoning Coastal Economic Zone, Huayuankou's administrators are moving to develop a green economy and attractive investment climate, said Dong Chengfa, administrative head of the Huayuankou Economic Zone.

Facing North Korea and Japan across the Yellow Sea, the 268-sq-km zone has 41 km of coastline and a population of 63,000. It was established in 2004 by the Liaoning provincial government and selected as a strategic growth spot in 2006.
