Lintong becomes an investment market favorite

Lintong, a suburban district of Xi’an, Shaanxi province, Northwest China, has become an investment market favorite after it introduced opportunities worth more than 100 billion yuan ($15.29 billion) at a promotion meeting held in the district on Tuesday.

A total of 20 enterprises signed investment agreements worth more than 100 billion yuan with Lintong district at the meeting, which became one of the most successful activities to be held since Shaanxi province and Xi'an city began their "golden autumn" investment promotion work.

Huang Ke, director of Lintong district, said at the meeting that since the start of this year, Lintong district has updated its approach to investment promotion, changed its development ideas, publicized its investment environment via the internet, video conferencing, an information hotline and other means of communication, actively strengthened its contacts with enterprises, innovated the "cloud negotiation" promotion conference, and conducted online project investment, talent introduction and talent cultivation negotiations.

At the same time, Huang said, Lintong has mobilized the resources of all parties and adopted a combination of "going out" investment promotion and "inviting in" inspection and docking, which have attracted enterprise investment.

As one of the first batch of national scenic spots and national tourism demonstration areas, Lintong, which is home to the world-renowned Qin terracotta warriors, relies on its profound historical and cultural heritage, good natural environment and convenient geographical advantages to further promote the construction of high quality industrial infrastructure and services and accelerate the high-quality development of regional cooperation, the district director said.

Yun Xiaodong, vice mayor of Xi'an Municipal People's Government, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. He said that he hopes that the district can make full use of its advantages, increase investment promotion and promote the development of the local economy.
