According to the news of Wuhan Morning Post, Dongxihu district, located at the northwest corner of Wuhan, is planning its new blueprint. In the near future, a “sub-town” for logistics which integrates automobiles and machinery markets, commerce, tourism, etc. will emerge at the Jinyin Lake. Zhejiang Logistics Network
The planning department released yesterday that the three blueprints, i.e. the Overall Planning for Wuhan Bonded Zone of Logistics, the Planning for Land Use of Jiangjun Road, Dongxihu District, and the Overall Planning for Zoumaling Street, Dongxihu District (revised) had been initially made out.

Wuhan Bonded Zone of Logistics will be located at the southwest side of the flyover linking Beijing-Zhuhai Express Way and No. 107 National Highway and the north side of Zhujiatai Railway Station on the Wuhan-Danjiangkou Railway. This area will cover about 4500 mou (747 acres), running from the Beijing-Zhuhai Express Way in the east to the 12th Zhigou in the west and reaching the Wuhan-Danjiangkou Railway in the south and the No.107 National Highway in the north, neighboring a planned food processing zone. This area will lay special emphasis on the development of large professional markets for automobiles and machinery and logistics so that a logistics park which serves both as a transportation hub and an inner-city distribution center will be formed.

The planned land use of Jiangjun Road will cover 14.5 sq km, running from the junction of the Dongxihu Embankment and the Zhanggong Embankment in the east to the Jinghe Farm and the Dongxihu Dairy Company in the west, extending to the Zhanggong Embankment in the south and facing the Huangpi District on the other side of Fuhe River in the east and north.

According to the plan, Jiangjun Road will have “one center and two zones”- “one center” is the tourist resort which takes the Huangtang Lake as the principal part and the “two zones” are the West Zone and the East Zone, with the West Zone as an important residential zone emphasizing on administration, commerce and culture and the East Zone an industrial park taking new and high technology as the dominance.
The planned area of Zoumaling Street will adjacent the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in the east and the Wuhan-Chengdu Railway and the Hanshui River in the west, reaching the Wujiashan Taiwanese Investment Zone in the south and Wuhan’s Outer Ring Road and the Hangzhou-Lanzhou Expressway in the north, covering some 18 sq km. The planned land use will include three parts, i.e. a Food Processing Zone, a Comprehensive Logistics Zone and a Comprehensive Support and Complete Service Zone.
Experts say that as this area embraces the Jinyin Lake and backs to the Taiwanese Investment Zone and is facilitated by the railway and airline (it has easy access to the Tianhe Airport ) resources, Dongxihu district has superior conditions to develop logistics at a large scale.
