As close neighbors, Qidong and Shanghai face each other across the Yangtze River. Qidong is at the "opening" of multiple strategic opportunities such as the Belt and Road Initiative, Yangtze River Economic Belt and Yangtze River Delta Integration. With the construction of a high-speed railway along the north Yangtze River, Nantong New Airport and Great Tongzhou Bay, Qidong has unlimited development opportunities. In accordance with the policy of "integrating into the south of Jiangsu in an all-around way, connecting with Shanghai in an all-round way, and promoting high-quality development in an all-around way," Qidong is striving to build itself into a strategic pivot of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and a gateway city for Shanghai's north wing, striving to create a new area of growth for Jiangsu province and a new way of opening up to the entire world.
