Literary creation, photography, fans, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, drama and singing are not the colorful lives of many cultures. Main features and advantages: The geographical position is special, the development prospect is broad, and it has many unique advantages: First, the location advantage. The Development Zone is located in the middle of the prosperous area in southeast Fujian, which is about 0/74 nautical miles from Keelung Port in Taiwan Province Province and 0/94 nautical miles from Kaohsiung. National Highway 324 and Fuzhou-Xiamen Expressway run through the whole territory, and Zhangquan small railway goes directly to the port area. The traffic conditions are very convenient, which is not only an important channel for north-south traffic in southeast Fujian, but also the radiation center of southeast sea lanes. From here, Fuzhou can be as far north as Zhejiang and Shanghai, and Xiamen can be as far south as Guangdong and Jiangxi. Trains can reach all parts of China via Xiaying Line, and coastal ports, Taiwan Province Province and Asia-Pacific region can be reached by sea. The second is the advantage of a big port. The total length of the development zone coastline is more than 50 kilometers, including the deepwater coastline 1 1 km, which can be used to build1-300,000-ton berths and the wharf line is long. 5 kilometers, equivalent to1/5 of the total length of existing 10,000-ton berths in China; The good port construction conditions are known as "rare in China and rare in the world". At present, there are 10,000-ton general cargo terminals, 65,438+/kloc-0,000-ton crude oil terminals and/kloc-0,5000-ton, 3,000-ton and 2,000-ton refined oil terminals. Xiaocuo Port is listed as a national first-class port. The Ministry of Communications plans to build the south bank of Meizhou Bay into one of the four international transit ports in China. At present, Xiaocuo Port Area on the south bank is making every effort to build a 50,000-ton container terminal, a 50,000-ton coal terminal, a 50,000-ton grain transfer terminal, a 6,543,800+10,000-ton grain terminal and a 250,000-ton oil terminal. Once these projects are completed, Xiaocuo will not only have the most concentrated deep-water berths in Fujian Province, but also have a great impact on the whole country. The third is the advantage of big industry. During the period of 1992, Aircraft Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd., with an annual processing capacity of 2.5 million tons of crude oil, was completed and put into operation in Xiaocuo Development Zone, becoming a leading enterprise in the construction of Xiaocuo Petrochemical Base. By April of 1997, the annual processing capacity has been expanded to 4 million tons. 1996, the State Council approved the construction of a new refinery with an annual processing capacity of 8 million tons. By the year 2000, Aircraft Refining and Chemical Company will expand its annual processing capacity120,000 tons, and build a number of petrochemical middle and lower reaches projects such as 600,000 tons of ethylene project, 300,000 tons of polypropylene, 450,000 tons of polyethylene, 300,000 tons of vinyl chloride and 200,000 tons of caustic soda, 40,000 tons of propylene oxide and 40,000 tons of polyether. Xiaocuo will become one of the largest petrochemical bases in China. 1996 the State Council approved the construction of a large thermal power plant with a total installed capacity of 1.80- 1.90 million kilowatts in Xiaocuo. The total investment of these projects will exceed 654,380+0 billion, which is the largest investment plan for the aircraft industry since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The fourth is the advantage of infrastructure. The development zone has complete infrastructure such as water, electricity, roads, communications and docks. The Shugang Highway and the second-class highway connecting National Highway 324 have been completed and opened to traffic, and the total length of existing grade stocks in the area is nearly 90 kilometers. Two water plants with daily water supply of 9000 tons and 40000 tons respectively have been put into use. The construction of the water diversion project on the south bank of Meizhou Bay, with a total investment of 370 million yuan and a daily water supply of 260,000 to 520,000 tons, is nearing completion, and the whole line was opened to water in 1997. There are 10000 volt substations in Tangtou, 1 10000 volt substations in Wonderland, and1/0000 volt substations in refining and chemical companies, with sufficient power supply. The communication project is networked with Quanzhou program control, with 4 program control module offices and 2 telecom base stations. Opening 29,000 program-controlled telephones to realize wireless paging and mobile communication, which can meet the needs of external communication.
