Ningbo Hangzhou Bay New Zone(宁波杭州湾经济技术开发区) is 12 kilometers to the north of Cixi city, linked by the Hushan-Congshou highway and the regional ring road. Four longitudinal highways (Lucheng-Andong highway, Hushan-Congshou highway, East Outer Ring, and Zhangshu-Xingpu highway) and three latitudinal highways (329 State Road, Zhongheng highway and Hangzhou Bay Bridge passage) are all located inside CEDZ's outer ring traffic network.

Aimed at building "A Famous City for Industry and Commerce in the Southern Flank of Yangtze River Delta", "An Economic Center in Northern Part of Ningbo", and "An Eco-travel Industry City", CEDZ has an allocated general planning area of 120 square kilometers.

CEDZ can be divided into three different functional sections horizontally.

The 40-sq-km east section is the economic, cultural and administrative center, offering commercial activities, living, leisure facilities and services.

The 60-sq-km middle section is designed for industrial development.

The 20-sq-km west section is allocated to develop high-level resort villas, hotels, a golf course, a wetland park and other leisure facilities.
