With a population of over 100 million, the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle boasts a dynamic mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and cutting-edge technology.
Serving as an important economic center, science and technology innovation hub, a new frontier for reform and opening up, and a pleasant place to live with a high quality of life in China, Chengdu, and Chongqing aim for a high-level model of regional collaboration, an essential growth pole, and a new power source for high-quality development in the country.
First and foremost, the infrastructure is improving. The Chengdu-Chongqing Central High-speed Railway is under construction; the two cities are 300 km apart and will be reachable within one hour in the future. Within the cities, underground rail transportation is available in all directions, and above ground, the skyline is continually evolving.
The modern industrial system supports the region, in addition to industries such as smart grid-connected new energy vehicles and high-end electronics. Manufacturing sectors, such as engine manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, and even liquor and hot pot base factories, are traditional strengths, and the future of the digital economy is promising.
As the cities develop, the countryside has not been forgotten. The rural revitalization strategy has transformed the countryside, harmonizing backwardness and inequality.
Whether it is the cities or the countryside, the ecology is beautiful, the industry is prosperous, and the people are affluent; ecological civilization has been the consensus and action consciousness for high-quality development and high quality of life here.
Chengdu and Chongqing also benefit from the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and the international aviation network, which serves the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle and bridges a larger region as well.
