The 'People's Square' Baiyin City
Dinner with Municipal Leaders
Today we visited the Baiyin Technology Park in Baiyin City. Baiyin is located approx 80 kms north of Lanzhou and has a population of 1.75 million. Baiyin was decreed as a "hotspot area for investment" by the Hong Kong Investment Trade Promotion Association in 2004. In October 2001 a contract was signed between the China Science Academy and the Baiyin Municipal Government that established the foundations for a high-tech industrial park in the city. The total area planned for the park is 16 square kilometres, incorporating an industrial development area, living services areas, an ecological green area, and a high-tech service area. In the future the leading industries for Baiyin are predicted to be non-ferrous metals, new energy sources and eco-medicines.
