Located in China's most economically active Yangtze River Delta region, Gangzha Economic Development Zone faces the Yangtze River in the south and the Tonghu (Nantong-Shanghai) West Railway Station in the west. It takes eight minutes to reach Nantong Port from the economic zone by car, 10 minutes to reach the railway station and 15 minutes to reach the airport. Since the Nantong-Shanghai Railway opened on June 1, the zone can fully integrate into Shanghai's "one-hour metropolis circle".
