Only when a city finds a development logic and development path that suits it can it achieve high-quality development.
Chengdu Qingbaijiang, a city born from industry during the "First Five" period, has gone through the historical process of "building a district due to factory" and "promoting a district due to industry". In the past 10 years, Qingbaijiang has actively integrated into the national development strategy, leveraging the strong magnetic field effect brought by the high-quality operation of China-Europe freight trains and the construction of Chengdu International Railway Port land port hubs, moving from the "strategic rear" to the "open frontier", from the "inland hinterland" to the "open highland", and entering a new stage of development of "a port city, industrial development city, and quality city".
The 12th Party Congress of Qingbaijiang District proposed the development goal of "building a modern and international Chengdu northern center". It took "accelerating the construction of a leading area for foreign exchanges, open industry clusters, reform and innovation demonstration zones, international quality living areas and main hubs of land and ports" (referred to as "four districts and one hubs") as the implementation path to achieve this goal, and found a logic of urban development that suits its own reality - "start, inheritance, transformation and integration", and achieved high-quality development of the city.
's "starting point" of development: the hub is the engine, leading foreign exchanges
On April 26, 2013, the first Chengdu-Europe Express Railway (later unified as the "China-Europe Express") drove out from Chengdu Railway Container Center Station , heading straight to the heart of the European continent - Rhodes, Poland, and officially embarking on the Qingbaijiang internationalization journey.

As the driver of this first train, Zhong Junlan witnessed the integration of Qingbaijiang into the "Belt and Road" trajectory - the international train route network and land-sea freight distribution system to Europe westward, Mongolia and Russia northward, Japan and South Korea eastward, and the Southward expansion of ASEAN , connecting more than 100 cities at home and abroad, leading the country in terms of operation volume and comprehensive evaluation indicators.

During the round trip of the train, the regional GDP of the whole region spanned four billion steps in succession, and obtained many national business cards such as national economic and technological development zones, free trade pilot zones, comprehensive bonded zones, and land-port-type national logistics hubs.
This huge change quickly touched the foreigners on the other end of the train. In 2019, 149 batches of foreign guests including Czech and Moravian Communist Party Chairman were received; in 2020, 16 foreign envoys checked in Qingbaijiang; in 2021, another 11 embassies and consulates in China visited Qingbaijiang... They look forward to knowing what kind of place is the starting point for the " Silk Road " to rejuvenate.
In the increasing international exchanges, opening up to the outside world has become the most distinctive background of the city. Qingbaijiang fully plays the role of the international portal hub as an engine, promotes the construction of a leading area for foreign exchanges with high standards, actively builds a new platform for foreign exchanges with great influence, carries out multi-level in-depth cooperation and exchanges, and continuously improves the level of regional modernization and internationalization.

"This is an important window for Chengdu and even Sichuan to look at the world, and it is the ' rich mine place' for international communication." In January 2021, Hui Xiaoyong, president of Xinhua News Agency's Sichuan Branch, led a team to set up Sichuan's first international communication observation point here.

In the sound of whistles, the local culture of Qingbaijiang and foreign culture complement each other, presenting the characteristics of diversity and keeping up with the times. In 2021 alone, Qingbaijiang held more than 30 international exchange activities, and Qingbaijiang's circle of friends continued to expand.
industry inherits "inheritance": Taking advantage of the situation, gather open industries
In the golden autumn, we entered the production workshop of TCL Optoelectronics Technology Chengdu Co., Ltd., 3 fully automatic production lines are operating at full capacity, 260 workers are running 6 shifts day and night, and the daily production of movement boards reaches 12,000 pieces. Such a production scenario is exciting.

In fact, since the launch of the "TCL Special Train" in March 2016, the export volume and export volume of TCL Chengdu factory have achieved an average annual growth rate of 30%, and every two weeks there are three TCL special trains sent to Europe. Five years later, TCL chose to "settle home" in Qingbaijiang, from signing in May 2021 to entering the three production lines in January this year, staged the "Qingbaijiang Speed".
is not just TCL. With the busy trains, the port area has introduced nearly 200 projects with a total investment of over 100 billion yuan, attracting more than 80% of the top 50 supply chain management companies such as SF Express, , Xiamen Jianfa , and China Storage and Transportation to settle.
Ports and railways have brought prosperity to Qingbaijiang. Wang Ming, director of the National Development and Reform Commission's Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute, had previously talked to the media that the path to port development is to build an industrial ecosystem that dependent ports.
How to build this industrial ecosystem? Based on the Chengdu International Railway Port, Qingbaijiang has built a spatial development pattern of "one port leads, two cores and common prosperity, and four-piece coordination". "Dual core prosper together" uses the main urban area and the European industrial city as a pen to depict a geographical map with the economic context as the main line.

Spanning Bihe for linkage development. In 2017, a new 40 square kilometers of towns in Qingquan and Fuhong, south of the Pihe River, was planned and built, with the "China-Europe Express (Chengdu)" as the core, and undertakes industrial transformation and upgrading.
"The development of railway ports and industrial city complement each other." Liu Lijun, director of the District European Management Committee, said that the current European Industrial City has gathered more than 60 major industrial projects with a total investment of 60 billion yuan, becoming the carrier of the advanced manufacturing industry for the in the .
Chengdu Tianma Railway Bearing Co., Ltd. is one of them. In May this year, the Tianma high-end bearing intelligent manufacturing (export) base with an investment of 3 billion yuan was put into production. Currently, Tianma rail bearings are the number one in the country, and offshore wind power 8 MW spindle bearings are sold to Europe.

18 industrial roads are well connected; 410,000 square meters of standardized factory buildings and 32,400 square meters of Chengdu-Ouzhigu building rose from the ground; more than 8,000 workers worked hard to speed up production... Today's European Industrial City has only been 5 years from "painting on white paper" to building a flat land.
10 years, Chengdu International Railway Port has risen rapidly from small to large, from weak to strong, from a single domestic logistics base to a diversified international portal hub, driving the province's import and export trade an average of more than US$12 billion per year. The value of goods entering and leaving the port increased from less than 10 billion yuan in 2013 to 150.7 billion yuan in 2020, forming a "Belt and Road" import and export commodity distribution center mainly composed of complete vehicles, meat, alcohol, wood and grain.
Take Qingbaijiang alone, the number of foreign trade import and export enterprises has increased from 50 to about 150, and the total foreign trade import and export volume has increased from single digits to 26.5 billion yuan.
"Transform" to change thinking: strive to be a demonstration, be brave to reform and innovate
Only those who reform advance, only those who innovate are strong, and only those who reform and innovate win. This is the development concept that Qingbaijiang District has always adhered to. To build a "reform and innovation demonstration zone", what confidence does Qingbaijiang have?
Because in Qingbaijiang, there is a "national experimental field" - the Qingbaijiang Railway Port area of Sichuan Free Trade Pilot Zone. Although it is only 9.68 square kilometers, it is the only free trade zone area in the country established based on railway ports. In the five years since its establishment, this "national experimental field" has achieved fruitful results, with 108 reform measures at the forefront of the country, of which 15 have been recognized or promoted by national ministries and commissions.

Not only that, "one seal manages approval", "multimodal transport one order system", "three reforms of access and operation system integration", "three reforms of the "three modernizations" of government services", "one-stop service"... Qingbaijiang continues to deepen the "deregulation, supervision and service" reform, and has continuously issued versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 of the business environment policy system.

Now multimodal transport "one order" bill of lading
In Qingbaijiang, reform and innovation are not limited to systems and approvals. As one of the old industrial bases with the longest "working experience" in the southwest region, Qingbaijiang District is based on reality, focusing on the leading industries of new materials, new energy and equipment manufacturing, and strives to build a pilot industrial base for the "Belt and Road". This is an important "magic weapon" to promote the "second revitalization" of the old industrial base.
Yulong Chemical is one of the first to "open the way" and "enter" early. The team of Academicians Shibi and Zhou Jianfei introduced by the company to deeply treat the leather industry sewage and analyze pollutants through experimental analysis. After the pilot, the leather sewage treatment capacity of the device has been from 50 tons to 100 tons, and finally reached 300 tons. After it was put into operation, it has successfully formed a output value of several million.

Through more than 10 years of school-enterprise cooperation, Yulong Chemical's pilot platform has become increasingly perfect. 15 scientific research results have passed the pilot, realizing industrial application, and successfully incubated five companies including Longjintai and Longsheng New Materials.
Chengdu Yongyi Pump Industry, which is not far from Yulong Chemical, has also embarked on a path of development with the word "innovation". It has upgraded from "metal pump" to "carbon fiber pump", obtained two national invention patents, and successfully entered the industry's hot spot - the new energy battery industry. The continuous stream of orders has given this traditional enterprise a new vitality.

Oriental wind comes and sees spring. Qingbaijiang is still accelerating. In addition to 49 technological innovation platforms and 6 school-enterprise cooperation training bases, it also plans to build three pilot demonstration bases: "Wenlan Zhi Valley", European Industrial City and "340 Science and Technology Innovation Park".
With the successive implementation of these major innovation platforms, Qingbaijiang's innovation-driven high-quality development is opening up new unlimited imagination space.
"Union" between Chinese and Western: Live comfortably and enjoy international quality
A former old industrial zone, to build an "international quality living area", how confident is it?
Relying on the huge advantages brought by the China-Europe freight trains and railway ports, Qingbaijiang is making great strides towards "modernization and internationalization" at an astonishing speed. More and more people are here to experience the benefits brought by the "change".
