Zhoushan is at the forefront of energy, shipbuilding and fishing
Zhoushan, amid the busy East China Sea, is the largest archipelago of China. An offshore city that comprises 1,390 islands and 3,306 reefs, Zhoushan is home to more than 1.1 million people, and at the front line of the nation’s energy strategy, as well as shipbuilding and fishing industries.
Since the Neolithic Period 6,000 years ago, Zhoushanese have become synonymous with being diligent, tough, optimistic and spearheading.
Zhoushanese throughout the world have inherited that spirit and excelled in many fields.
On the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Zhoushan calls on its great sons and daughters throughout the country and from around the world to come home and make a contribution to the future development of the industrial and trading hub.
Since 2011, with the establishment of Zhoushan Archipelago New Area, or the fourth state-level new area in the country, Zhoushan Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Zhoushan Ocean-River Transportation Service Center and China (Zhejiang ) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Zhoushan has many rare opportunities for development.

Among them, there are political and business leaders, top-notch scientists and countless unsung heroes who have made extraordinary achievements in their own fields.

“The grand meeting opens on November 1, the best day to demonstrate the great achievements of Zhoushan’s development in the past 70 years, and sum up the practical experience of the construction of the Zhoushan Archipelago New Area,” said Wang Wei, director of the United Front Work Department of Communist Party of China Zhoushan Committee.
