From Sept 1 to Oct 17, nearly 2,000 representatives from government departments and various industries visited Yangkou Port in Rudong county, Nantong to witness the impressive developments it has undergone over the past two decades.

"I am truly amazed by the transformative changes at Yangkou Port in recent years. It has evolved from barren shores into a national-level energy island and a hub for major projects, such as the intelligent workshops and 5G factories established by Golden Hongye Paper and Jiatong Energy," said Qian Chen, deputy director of the Rudong branch of the Postal Savings Bank of China.

Yangkou Port is currently home to three leading industries: new energy, new materials, and high-end equipment. By the end of 2025, the port aims to achieve 100 billion yuan ($13.66 billion) in output in its industrial and services sectors, respectively, 100 billion yuan in fixed asset investment, and 10 billion yuan in annual tax revenue.
