Cangzhou, a coastal city in Hebei Province, is leveraging the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy to drive growth in industry, transport, and public services. Since 2023, the city has secured 170 projects with partners from Beijing and Tianjin, involving total planned investment of 68.4 billion yuan. This integration has attracted 50 second- and third-tier subsidiaries of centrally administered state-owned enterprises, positioning Cangzhou as a key logistics and manufacturing base.
Industrial and Innovation Growth
The industrial shift is evident in the biomedicine sector, where the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Cangzhou Biomedicine Industrial Park has attracted 70 companies. Three pharmaceutical formulation projects, including one with Beijing Yimin, are complete. Cangzhou has also partnered with institutions like Tsinghua University and established platforms such as the Hebei branch of the National Beidou Navigation Location Service Data Center. Technology-contract transactions from Beijing and Tianjin exceeded 20 billion yuan since 2023.
Transport and Logistics
Cangzhou is enhancing regional connectivity through direct high-speed rail service to Shijiazhuang and ongoing railway and expressway projects. The city is promoting a cross-regional customs model where goods are declared and inspected in Xiong'an before export via Huanghua Port. This initiative supports Xiong'an's access to maritime logistics.
Public Services and Environment
Regional integration extends to public services, with 27 medical alliances and 57 institutions recognizing mutual medical test results. The city has attracted 24,700 elderly residents from neighboring regions. Environmentally, the air quality composite index improved by 15.14% in 2025 compared to 2023, while PM2.5 concentration dropped by 11.47%.
Tourism Performance
Tourism has surged due to cultural assets like the Grand Canal and the "Lion City" identity. In 2025, Cangzhou received approximately 57.3 million domestic tourist visits, generating 60.94 billion yuan in tourism revenue.
