the easternmost end of the new Euro-Asian continental bridge
(Liangyungang to Rotterdam), it is an international trade channel
connecting two big international markets of Asia and Europe. It has an
annual capacity of over 30,000 TEUs in transit. Lianyungang is also the
eastern end of Longhai-Lanzhou--Xinjiang railway, which runs cross the
eastern, middle and western parts of China.
Climate
Located in the transitional belt between the temperate zone and the
northern subtropical zone, Lianyungang enjoys a moist temperate monsoon
climate, with an annual average temperature stands of 14 centigrade and a
yearly average rainfall of 900-950 milimeters.
Communication and Transportation
Harbor
As one of the 8 largest ports along the coast of China, Lianyungang now
has 21 international shipping lines to 962 ports of 154 countries
(regions) of the world. 55 container liners depart every month for
worldwide destinations. The port boasts 31 berths, of which 19 are of
10,000-ton class. The handling capacity 2001 reached 30,581 million tons,
including 158,000 TEUs.
Airport
Lianyungang Airport ranks among China's 4D standard airports, which can
land Boeing 737 passenger planes and has flights to Beijing, Shanghai,
Guangzhou and Xiamen.
Railway
As the artery that traverses eastern and western China with Lianyungang
as the eastern end, the Longhai-Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway is connected
with Central Asia and reaches Rotterdam Port of the Netherlands to the
west, with a total length of 10,900 km and acting as the shortest
continental bridge connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic. 95 percent of
the freight shipped to the five central Asian countries such as
Kazakhstan via this continental bridge passes Lianyungang.
Road
Lianyungang is one of the main hubs for China's road communications. Of
the two vertical and two horizontal trunk roads under construction in
China, one vertical and one horizontal have their intersection in
Lianyungang, namely, the road from Lianyungang to Huoerguosi, Xinjiang
and the road from Tongjiang, Heilongjiang to Sanya, Hainan Province.
High-grade roads include Nanjing-Lianyungang Expressway and
Xuzhou-Lianyungang Freeway.
Human Resources
There are 151 institutes of scientific research in Lianyunguang with 6078
research staff and 101,000 technical personnel, of which 3126 have high
technical titles and 239,000 have middle-class technical titles. There
are 3 general-purpose institutions of higher learning, 8 secondary
technical schools, 6 secondary schools for mechanics, and 23 vocational
schools. The total number of permanent residence is 4.4353 million, of
which 2.1978 million are employed.
