I. Basic Profile
（1） Overview
Located to the west of Xiamen Island, Haicang has a coverage area of 186.82 sqkm, a current population of 520,000, 4 subdistricts (Haicang, Songyu, Xinyang, Dongfu) and 37 villagers (neighborhood) committees.
（2） History
"Haicang" is named after the Cang River. It became a seaside settlement called “Haikou” in the Tang Dynasty. It was renamed “Haicang” by using one Chinese Character respectively from Haikou and Cang River together during the Jiajing Period of the Ming Dynasty. Upon approval of the State Council in May 1989, Haicang became the largest national Taiwanese investment zone of the Chinese Mainland. Its advantages lie in ownership of “integrated six zones”, i.e. special economic zone, Taiwanese investment zone, pilot free trade zone, pioneer zone of Maritime Silk Road Economic Belt, bonded port zone and export processing zone.
