Hanzhong Economic and Technological Development Zone

Hanzhong Economic‑Technological Development Zone is the only national‑level economic‑technological development zone in southern Shaanxi. Approved as a provincial‑level development zone in June 1999, it was upgraded to national‑level status with the endorsement of the State Council in October 2012. Its state‑approved planned area covers 8.1205 square kilometers. Structured into the Northern and Southern Districts with complementary functions, the zone has evolved into a multi‑park integrated development platform.

Boasting sound foundational conditions, the zone enjoys convenient multi‑modal transportation. National Highways 108 and 316, together with Xi'an‑Hanzhong Expressway, Baoji‑Bazhong Expressway and Shiyan‑Tianshui Expressway traverse the area. It is accessible via major national railway lines and adjacent to the Xi'an‑Chengdu High‑speed Railway. Hanzhong Chenggu Airport operates direct air routes connecting multiple major domestic cities. Within the zone, complete infrastructure including power supply, water supply, road networks, sewage treatment and telecommunication systems is available. Supporting public service agencies cover industrial and commercial administration, tax services, public security, finance, insurance, schools, hospitals and residential facilities. Completed infrastructure projects keep improving the overall investment and construction environment.

A modern industrial structure has taken initial shape under scientific planning and targeted positioning. Centering on featured industrial parks for southern Shaanxi modern traditional Chinese medicine, aviation supporting manufacturing and high‑end equipment manufacturing, the zone has formed differentiated industrial layouts across its two districts. The Northern District focuses on aviation supporting manufacturing, precision mechanical processing, instrumentation and modern biomedicine. The Southern District prioritizes modern trade, large‑scale logistics, warehousing and green food processing. The two districts reinforce each other through functional complementarity.

The zone maintains an efficient and streamlined operational mechanism following the principle of "small government, large society and targeted high‑quality services". It implements dedicated service systems for investors, service commitment mechanisms and special green channels for key projects. Standardized administration and law‑based governance are strictly practiced. Guided by market‑oriented policy incentives and enterprise‑oriented support measures, a series of industrial support policies have been rolled out to fuel enterprise growth. The zone endeavors to build an efficient and clean government‑service environment, an open and fair market environment, an impartial legal environment, a pleasant ecological environment and a harmonious human‑centric atmosphere, so as to attract, support and retain investment projects.

Huge development potential lies ahead. Adhering to the philosophy of circular economy, the zone gives full play to local strengths in the aviation industry, advanced machinery manufacturing and green industries. Relying on key aviation enterprises, it fosters aviation supporting industrial clusters covering airborne component manufacturing, aviation spare‑part R&D and production, as well as aerospace standard‑part supporting supply chains. Leveraging abundant biological resources in the Qinba Mountain region, it advances R&D and industrialization of modern Chinese patent medicine, biomedicine, green food and related processing equipment. Dedicated implementation channels are available for major projects. Fully implementing national western‑region development policies and provincial support policies for southern Shaanxi, the zone pursues high‑quality industrial development and opens wide to domestic and global investors for mutually beneficial cooperation and win‑win outcomes.
