Lianyun New Town is located in the northwestern part of Lianyungang’s eastern urban area. It is bordered by Beigu Mountain to the east, the Linhong Estuary Wetland to the west, Provincial Highway 242 to the south, and the Yellow Sea to the north. It covers a total area of 58.8 square kilometers (of which nearly 20 square kilometers north of Jinhai Avenue were reclaimed from the sea, while the 10-square-kilometer Linhong Estuary Wetland has been preserved in its natural state). [1] It serves as one of Lianyungang’s “one main, two sub-centers, and four nodes” urban sub-centers.
It brings together Lianyungang’s finest natural resources, seamlessly integrating mountains, sea, islands, and lakes. It serves as a vital platform for Lianyungang to seize national strategic opportunities and build itself into a regional central city. The development of Lianyun New City is a key initiative to enhance Lianyungang’s capabilities as a major port, metropolis, and industrial hub; accelerate the integrated development of the port, industry, and city; and rapidly establish the city’s image as a coastal metropolis.
