Yuncheng rolls out red carpet for investors By Jia Jingqi (China Daily) Updated: 2006-07-25 14:05 Yuncheng is rich in mineral and other natural resources. The production
capacity of alumina, electrolytic aluminium, and magnesium take up 18, 10 and 50
per cent respectively of the nation's total, while the output of anhydrous
sodium sulphate accounts for 60 per cent of the domestic market.
China
Aluminium Co Ltd, Asia's biggest alumina manufacturing base, has established an
operation in the city. Yuncheng is also home to China's biggest inorganic salt
chemistry production base the Nafine Group.
How to fully tap the
advantages of Yuncheng is an urgent issue that concerns the government.
"We will create a fine business and residential environment for
investors in the hope of not only attracting them to invest but also encouraging
them to make their second home here."
Zhang said the city has provided a
series of preferential policies for investors. Besides the advantages in
agriculture, manufacturing and commerce, the city also has distinct features in
culture and tourism.
"Culture and tourism are the pillar industries in
Yuncheng," Zhang said.
According to ancient tales, Yuncheng is a
legendary place where the Fenghuang (phoenix), a holy bird in heaven, was born
from fire. The city thus acquired the nickname of the "city of Fenghuang."
"The 'city of Fenghuang,' just like the phoenix, will survive all
hardships and have a promising future. And we welcome investors from home and
abroad," the secretary said.
