Once-obscure island on course to economic fame

Before a small, little-known island, Caofeidian is emerging as a new star along the Bohai Bay for its robust growth momentum and development potential.

With natural conditions for developing large deepwater harbors, modern harbor industries and an environmentally friendly city, construction of the district has been listed in the nation's 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-10).

Unveiled as a new district in March, Caifeidian entered a new stage in its history.
