Transport network to transform new district

Construction of transport infrastructure is going full steam ahead to transform Haidong New District, on the east coast of Zhanjiang Bay, from farmland into a center for emerging industries.

Lack of access and traffic issues mean that the east coast has lagged behind the west coast in terms of development for the past 100 years.

The west coast is illuminated by neon lights at night and its busy streets bustle with people, but across the bay it is eerily quiet with faint lamps scattered among fish rafts.
