Report on an Official Visit to Qingdao and Dalian
CRC INF 2/92
by a Hong Kong Government Delegation led by the Director-General of Industry, 14 - 19 October 1991

The visit was prompted by Industry Department's earlier official visit to
Beijing and Tianjin when it was learned that Hong Kong also played a significant role in the economy of the coastal cities in North China, both as a
source of foreign investment and as a trading partner (para. 2).
Qingdao and Dalian were chosen for the visit because they had much in
common in their history, economic structure, population and general
environment (paras. 5 and 10)
As the existing port and city district of both cities were already congested,
their new developments were being planned away from the old areas.
Qingdao would open up Huangdao on the opposite side of Jiaozhou Bay, and
Dalian would develop Dayao Bay in its northeastern outskirts. Development
in both cases were related to their respective Economic and Technical
Development Zones (ETDZ) (paras. 24 and 77).
Developments in Huangdao (Qingdao) would include an oil wharf, a new port,
road and railway systems. Due to inadequate communication links at present,
developments in Huangdao would not assume significant dimension until the
new road and railway network under construction were completed in two
years' time. Dayao Bay in Dalian was mainly a port development serving its
already well-developed ETDZ (paras. 35, 38, 53 and 54).
