City Introduction
Geographical Location
Jiangmen City is located in the southwestern part of Guangdong Province, within the Pearl River Delta region. It is approximately at 22.58°N latitude and 113.09°E longitude. Bordered by Zhongshan and Zhuhai to the east, and stretching along the tributaries of the Pearl River, its strategic location within the Pearl River economic zone makes it a crucial hub for regional and international trade, playing a significant role in economic and transportation activities.
Economic Characteristics
As a city with a diverse economic structure, Jiangmen’s economic pillars include the manufacturing of motorcycles, household appliances, and light – industrial products. In recent years, the motorcycle manufacturing industry has been growing steadily, with local enterprises producing a wide range of motorcycles and related parts for both domestic and international markets. The household appliance industry, focusing on the production of refrigerators, air conditioners, and small – kitchen appliances, has also been expanding. The light – industrial products sector, such as the production of toys, furniture, and clothing, has added to the city’s economic strength. These developments have led to a substantial need for cargo transportation, creating significant opportunities for the freight industry. For example, the local motorcycle factories produce a large quantity of motorcycles annually, which need to be transported to dealerships both at home and abroad.
Administrative Regions and Freight – Related Areas
Jiangmen City has jurisdiction over 3 districts, 4 county – level cities, and 3 county – level administrative units. The areas around Gaosha Port, Jiangmen High – tech Port, and Xinhui, which are along the Pearl River, have large – scale industrial clusters related to manufacturing and logistics. These areas serve as major concentration areas for industrial production and significant sources of shipped goods. The regions near the ports, with their advantage of being convenient transportation hubs and having well – developed port – related infrastructure, offer strong support for the development of the freight business. For instance, the industrial parks close to these ports are equipped with modern logistics facilities, which help in the smooth transportation of motorcycle products, household appliances, and light – industrial products both domestically and internationally.
