Recently, GuChuan United officially signed a cooperation agreement with Zizhou County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, to establish a partnership for investment promotion. Moving forward, GuChuan United will leverage its strengths in the field of investment promotion to optimize services in areas such as project introduction and implementation, as well as industrial transformation and upgrading, thereby supporting the rapid and balanced economic development of Zizhou County.

Overview of Zizhou County

Zizhou County is located in the heart of the hilly and gully-ridden region of the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi, on the southern edge of Yulin City. Established in 1944 through the consolidation of territories from Suide, Mizhi, Qingjian, and Hengshan counties, it was named in memory of the revolutionary martyr Li Zizhou. The county covers an area of 2,042 square kilometers, with a total arable land area of 1.37 million mu.

Zizhou County spans the warm-temperate and mid-temperate zones and features a continental monsoon climate. The terrain is crisscrossed by gullies and ridges, with the land rising in the west and sloping down toward the east. The county is rich in underground oil and natural gas resources.The Dali River and Huaining River flow through the county from the west and south, and the two river valleys have long been known as the “Grain Valleys.” Scenic attractions such as the Fodiantang Ecological Construction Demonstration Park, the “Four Famous Mountains,” Nanfeng Fortress, and the Loess Puddle Beach offer breathtaking and delightful views.

Zizhou County is rich in underground resources. The natural gas reserves in the “Zizhou Gas Field” are estimated at over 300 billion cubic meters, with oil reserves exceeding 13 million tons, predicted rock salt reserves of over 40 billion tons, and predicted coal reserves of 540 million tons. Additionally, the county possesses mineral deposits of iron, phosphorus, quartz, clay, and black jade.

Zizhou is situated at the junction of five counties: it borders Mizhi to the north, Suide to the east, Qingjian and Zichang to the south, and Hengshan to the west. National Highway 307, the Qingdao-Yinchuan Expressway, the Taiyuan-Zhongwei-Yinchuan Railway, the under-construction Yan’an-Yulin Expressway, and the planned Yan’an-Yulin High-Speed Railway all traverse the county, ensuring well-connected transportation.A road network has been established, with national and provincial highways serving as the main framework and rural roads providing support. To the north, it reaches Ordos and Hohhot; to the east, Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang; to the south, Yan’an and Xi’an; and to the west, Yinchuan and Lanzhou.

Industrial Parks and Bases • Moving Forward in Unison

Zizhou County’s industries are steadily growing and expanding, with output value continuously increasing. Based on regional characteristics, resource endowments, and industrial strengths, and with industrial clustering as the foundation and industrial chain extension as the priority, the county plans industrial parks, agricultural industrial demonstration bases, and specialty towns in accordance with their functional positioning.

Miaojiaping Industrial Park: Located in Miaojiaping Town, 5 kilometers from the county seat, with a planned area of 3 square kilometers. It primarily focuses on the refined processing of agricultural by-products and select energy and chemical projects. Several companies, including Zizhou Tianci, Dingsheng, Shaanxi Jinyuan, Sanfeng, Fuhua, and Hong Kong China Energy, have established operations here and are implementing project development and construction.

Huishucha Coal Industrial Park: Located at the Huishucha Community Service Center, 30 kilometers from the county seat, with a planned area of 60 square kilometers. It primarily focuses on coal mine consolidation and coalbed methane development projects. Currently, Inner Mongolia Mengxing Group is carrying out project development and construction.

The Huainingwan Industrial Park, which focuses on energy and chemical industries, building materials, and the refined processing of agricultural and sideline products, as well as warehousing and logistics, and the Matigou Freight, Warehousing, and Logistics Park, which focuses on freight stations, coal warehousing, logistics, and transportation, have also completed preliminary preparatory work such as master planning and detailed planning.

Improving the Environment • Building a Great Future Together

In recent years, Zizhou has earnestly implemented the work arrangements of the provincial and municipal governments, actively adapted to new requirements for economic development, and taken measures to optimize the business environment.The County Party Committee and County Government have focused on optimizing the social environment and improving the policy, administrative, and legal environments. They have prioritized investment promotion and the business environment as key components of the county’s economic work, implementing effective measures such as “case-by-case deliberation” and “special handling for special cases.” These efforts aim to shift investment promotion strategies from relying on preferential policies to fostering a high-quality development environment, and from government-led initiatives to voluntary corporate investment and business-to-business investment promotion.

Through this collaboration, Guchuan United will leverage the “Internet Plus Investment Promotion” model, fully utilizing its localized investment promotion teams across 12 cities and a database of over 270,000 project resources. The firm will conduct targeted investment promotion in sectors such as energy, agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry; the cultivation, processing, and sales of traditional Chinese medicinal materials; handicraft processing; urban and rural infrastructure; and cultural tourism. By focusing on attracting large-scale and high-quality investments, the partnership aims to jointly drive the rapid and sound development of the county’s economy.
