The Nantong Economic and Technological Development Zone was one of the first State-level development zones in China, approved by the State Council in December 1984. It now covers a more than 146-square-kilometer area.
Because of its geographical advantage and logistics strengths, the zone has become a transportation hub of East China and an important ocean-shipping terminal for the Yangtze River Delta, with immense potential for investment.
The Sutong Bridge, which was completed in June 2008, puts Nantong just a 90-minute drive from Shanghai.
