Nestled on the west bank of the Pearl River, Tanzhou Town beckons with a story waiting to be unveiled. Tanzhou sits at the southernmost tip of Zhongshan. It’s a place where the vibrant energy of industry meets the tranquil beauty of the coastline. Tanzhou is much closer to the heart of Zhuhai than to central Zhongshan, adding another layer to its unique identity.
Tanzhou’s history is one of remarkable transformation. Once known for its abundant agricultural products and seafood, earning it the nickname “Prosperous Bay”, Tanzhou has embraced economic progress. The town boasts a thriving industrial landscape. The Tanzhou Industrial Zone of Zhongshan Torch Hi-tech stands as a testament to this development. As the largest and most advanced industrial zone in the area, it has drawn significant investment. By 2007, Tanzhou’s total industrial output value reached a staggering 13.831 billion yuan. Over 250 foreign-funded enterprises from across the globe, including Japan, the USA, France, Italy, and regions like Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, have set up shop here. These businesses span a wide range of sectors, from pharmaceuticals and chemicals to textiles, garments, leather products, and more.
Tanzhou’s strategic location is another key to its success. A mere 80-minute drive separates Tanzhou from the bustling metropolises of Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Zhuhai and Macao are even closer, just a short 10-minute drive away. This proximity to major cities and transportation hubs like Zhongshan Port, Shenwan Port, Zhuhai Port, Zhuhai Airport, and Macao International Airport has fueled Tanzhou’s growth and integration into the global economy. The completion of the Guangdong West Coastal Expressway in 2005, with a convenient exit near the Tanzhou Industrial Zone, further enhanced connectivity. The town’s accessibility is further amplified by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, linking it to key economic centers.
But Tanzhou’s story is not just about economic progress. It’s also a story of commitment to environmental sustainability. The town has actively pursued an environmental economy strategy, earning it recognition as a National Clean Town. This dedication is reflected in the town’s improved infrastructure and high-quality public services. Tanzhou’s efforts have created a pro-business environment that continues to attract investors. From its rich agricultural heritage to its modern industrial prowess, Tanzhou stands as a dynamic blend of tradition and innovation. It’s a place where history and progress intertwine, creating a unique tapestry of growth and prosperity. This town extends a warm invitation to entrepreneurs and visitors alike to experience its vibrant energy and promising future.
