City Introduction

Geographical Location


Xuzhou is located in the northwest of Jiangsu Province. It lies at the junction of the Huaihai Economic Zone, in a crucial position within the region, playing an important role in regional and international trade. Although it is not directly on the coast, its connection to the Yangtze River water system enables it to have a strong influence on the transportation and trade network.

Economic Characteristics


As an important industrial base in northern Jiangsu, the economy of Xuzhou is mainly based on industries such as coal – related energy, machinery manufacturing, and new materials. The coal – related energy industry has a long – standing history here, and the machinery manufacturing industry has been developing rapidly in recent years, producing a wide range of industrial equipment. The booming development of these industries has driven a large demand for cargo transportation, providing development space for the freight industry.

Administrative Regions and Freight – Related Areas


Xuzhou has jurisdiction over five districts including Gulou District, Yunlong District, and three counties such as Feng County. Among them, the economic development zone in Xuzhou has a large – scale industrial park focusing on machinery manufacturing, which is the main concentration area and shipment source of goods. Gulou District, with its convenient transportation hub and complete transportation network, provides support for the development of the freight business.

Port and Airport Information

Port/Seafreight


Xuzhou is integrated with the Yangtze River water system and has barge points. Goods for international sea freight exports can be transported to all over the world through transshipment at the port of Shanghai via barges. Relying on the Yangtze River water system, the cargo transportation is smoothly connected, and the route resources of the large – scale port of Shanghai can be utilized. Shanghai, as a world – class port, has a vast network of international shipping routes, state – of – the – art port facilities, and highly efficient logistics services, which can ensure the smooth transportation of Xuzhou’s goods to the global market.

Xuzhou 观音国际机场 (Guanyin International Airport) is about 45 kilometers away from the urban area and is an important aviation gateway in the region. However, for international air freight exports, Xuzhou mainly depends on the transshipment at Shanghai’s airports. Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport are world – class aviation hubs. They operate a large number of international flights and are equipped with modern freight – handling facilities, including large – scale freight warehouses and advanced security inspection equipment. This allows Xuzhou to access more international air routes and better meet its air freight needs.
