Xixian New Area builds modern industrial system and boosts green growth

As a State-level development zone focusing on innovative urban development, Xixian New Area in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, is striving to be a new paradigm in areas including industrial agglomeration, state-of-the-art technology, opening-up and sustainability, local officials said.

Located between Xi'an and Xianyang, the area was established in May 2011 and approved by the State Council as the first State-level development zone focusing on innovative urban development in January 2014. Over the years, the district has aimed to build itself into a vital hub for China's opening-up and a new engine for the overall development in China's western region.

"Xixian New Area intends to build a modern industrial system and boost green development as well as urban and rural integration. It aims to create a good environment for both living and doing businesses," said Yue Huafeng, Party secretary of the area.
