BEIJING, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Hainan decides to establish the Haikou Jiangdong New Area as a centralized exhibition area for the construction of China (Hainan) Free Trade Pilot Zone.
The Haikou Jiangdong New Area, with a total area of 298 square kilometers, is located in the east coast of Haikou, consisting an ecological function area of 106 square kilometers in the east, and an industrial-city integration area of 192 square kilometers including airport industrial park area, Guilinyang National Tropical Agricultural Park, Guilinyang College Area and living area in the west.
