BEIJING, July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- July 11
marks the 20th Maritime Day of China and the 619th anniversary of the voyages
of Zheng He, the famous Chinese Ming
Dynasty navigator.
Zheng He led a fleet of over
20,000 people from Taiping Port in Changle, east China's Fujian
Province, to set sail into the ocean on July 11, 1405.
Located on the southern bank of the Minjiang River estuary in
Changle District of Fuzhou, the
capital city of Fujian Province,
has a winding coastline of nearly 100 kilometers. Meanwhile, it
boasts convenient access to both maritime and road transportation,
as well as a long-standing tradition of shipbuilding and
navigation. Zheng He chose the
Taiping Port in Changle as the point of departure for all of his
seven ocean voyages.
As the starting point for Zheng
He's voyages, Changle not only serves as a shipbuilding and
navigation hub, but also has every reason to reach the far ocean
and the vast world.
Nurtured by the maritime culture, the people in Changle have
high aspirations and are expanding business footprints in the
world.
Chen Jianlong, an entrepreneur from Changle has led the Highsun
Holding Group (HSCC) in establishing its business presence
overseas. By acquiring companies including FIBRANT, Air Liquide,
and AKRO, HSCC has made itself a global leader in the caprolactam
industry.
Furthermore, Changle has abundant wind energy resources. After
several years of efforts, multiple offshore wind turbines have been
built in Changle.
Besides the wind power industry, the port logistics sector has
also grown. The Songxia Port Area of Fuzhou Port is a national
first-class open port and one of the first ports designated for
grain import in China. With six
berths in operation, the port now has a throughput of 30.13 million
tons in 2023.
Changle is stepping up efforts to advance the three-year action
plan on the high-quality development of the marine economy,
featuring 15 key marine economy projects with a total investment of
over 32 billion yuan.
