Xiamen, home to national model park for logistics
Xiamen Bonded Logistics Park in Xiangyu district of Xiamen city was named a national demonstration site for the logistics industry along with 28 other parks on July 8.
It was the first time for the central government to distribute the honorary titles. And the Xiamen Bonded Logistics Park was the only place in Fujian province to be given the title.
The park is part of the Xiamen free trade zone which was unveiled in April 2015. It has since grown into a major international logistics center in southeast China.
The park provides logistics services to clothes and food producers, and mining, chemical engineering, electronics and health care industries.
The park has established a sound relationship with manufacturing, trade and finance industries and has stimulated the development of service industries related to logistics.
The park built an information platform that links to the city's port authorities directly and streamlined the administrative procedures anywhere possible.
