Xuancheng’s Three Parks: A Practical Guide for Foreign Founders
Xuancheng’s three municipal parks—Xuancheng Economic Development Zone, Xuancheng Modern Service Industry Park, and Xuancheng High-Tech Zone—offer distinct industry clusters, innovation platforms, and support services. This guide highlights key facts for foreign founders considering operations in China.
Why Xuancheng’s Three Parks Matter for Foreign Founders
For foreign founders evaluating where to establish or expand operations in China, Xuancheng offers a structured approach through its three municipal-level parks: Xuancheng Economic Development Zone (经开区), Xuancheng Modern Service Industry Park (现代服务业产业园), and Xuancheng High-Tech Zone (高新区). Over the past five years, these parks have developed complementary strengths in industry, innovation, and services. This article summarizes factual information from the Xuancheng government website to help foreign founders understand the landscape.
Automotive Parts and Advanced Manufacturing
Xuancheng High-Tech Zone hosts a new energy vehicle parts cluster centered on Luxshare Precision (立讯精密). The cluster includes 35 above-scale enterprises with a total output value of 8.17 billion RMB, accounting for one-third of the zone’s above-scale industrial output.
In Xuancheng Economic Development Zone, high-end equipment manufacturing (automotive parts) reached an output value of 8.43 billion RMB, up 18.8% year-on-year. Mingda Automobile, a representative firm, exceeded 1.6 billion RMB in annual output value with 60% growth. A project with total investment of 1.3 billion RMB for 150,000 sets of lightweight new energy vehicle body parts achieved signing, construction, statistical inclusion, and production within the same year.
New Energy and New Materials
Companies in Xuancheng Economic Development Zone have shown resilience amid industry cycles. Kelante’s annual output value grew 212%, while Yijiatong and Huilong Huilv each exceeded 1 billion RMB.
In Xuancheng High-Tech Zone, firms such as Hongrun and Xuanyang expanded in new energy, reaching 1.74 billion RMB in output value, up 35.3% year-on-year. The zone also hosts 49 above-scale fine chemical and new materials enterprises with output exceeding 8 billion RMB, with specialties in biomedicine and other niche sectors.
Traditional Industry Upgrade and Cross-Border Trade
Xuancheng Modern Service Industry Park actively undertakes industrial transfer from Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, linking traditional industry upgrades with cross-border commerce. Xintang Down Industrial Park, through digital and green upgrades, saw 22 above-scale down enterprises achieve 6.196 billion RMB in main business revenue and 6.261 billion RMB in output value. Under the “National Foreign Trade Transformation and Upgrading Base” designation, leading firms such as Huaying Xintang and Xinqiao Down drive steady foreign trade.
E-commerce and logistics are also prominent. Live-streaming bases and other carriers have registered over 130 entities, and companies like Chengcheng Egg have seen sales surge through digital commerce. In 2025, online sales totaled approximately 830 million RMB.
Innovation Platforms and R&D Support
Wanling Science and Technology Innovation City in Xuancheng Economic Development Zone has been upgraded to a “National Science and Technology Business Incubator,” a historic breakthrough for the city’s national-level platforms. In Xuancheng High-Tech Zone, a second innovation building of 18,000 square meters is operated by Zhejiang Ego Smart Technology. Within one year, it attracted nearly 30 tech SMEs, including Anhui Huashuimiao and Fle Fluid, and activated 5,800 square meters of incubation space.
In Xuancheng Economic Development Zone, above-scale industrial enterprises invested 960 million RMB in R&D, with an intensity of 3.2%. Sixty-six percent of these enterprises conducted R&D activities. The zone is home to 133 high-tech enterprises and 177 tech SMEs. The advanced photovoltaic and new energy storage cluster was recognized as a provincial advanced manufacturing cluster; Huilong Huilv was designated a national “Little Giant” for specialized and sophisticated technology; and Yijiatong was named a provincial manufacturing single champion. Under digital transformation, 21 key projects were upgraded, and Mingda Automobile became a provincial demonstration project for SME digital transformation.
Logistics and Digital Economy
The Yangtze River Delta (Xuancheng) Express Logistics Center uses intelligent sorting and digital records, handling 270,000 express items daily. Wanjiang Cold Chain Logistics Market has an annual throughput of nearly 140,000 tons. In the Digital Economy Industrial Park, data technology firms such as Hejun Zongda are growing steadily, with the digital service sector’s share rising.
Living and Business Services
To support talent, the city has built 5.3 million square meters of commercial space in Chengbei Xintiandi and 3.4 million square meters in Linli Hui, with over 80% of shops open. Hilton Huating Hotel and a multifunctional science report hall form an integrated service chain. Over 1,200 fully furnished talent apartments are 100% occupied, providing homes for more than 3,000 industry professionals. A 4,865-square-meter gymnasium hosts weekly activities and monthly events.
The parks implement “six assistance” actions and “three inquiries” visits for enterprises. The “minimalist approval” mechanism for industrial projects was selected as a provincial typical case for government service efficiency. In one year, 173 enterprise requests were resolved, and 327 million RMB in enterprise-benefit funds were disbursed. Infrastructure projects include the northern new district road network, the Shuangchuang Building, and the 220KV Lüxue substation under construction.
Xuancheng Modern Service Industry Park has introduced targeted incentive policies, attracting human resources firms such as Huice and Ance, which supplied over 7,000 workers to Pinduoduo’s cross-border warehouse in a single quarter.
