Located in the southwestern part of Liaoning Province, China, Jinzhou is an important coastal industrial city and transportation hub in western Liaoning. It is connected to Shenyang Metropolitan Area in the east, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Economic Zone in the west and Liaodong Bay of Bohai Sea in the south, with 121 kilometers of coastline. As an important part of the old industrial base in Northeast China, Jinzhou has formed three leading industries, namely petrochemical, metallurgy and deep processing of agricultural products.
Jinzhou was the main battlefield of the Liao-Shen Battle, and revolutionary sites such as the Jinzhou Front Command Post of the Northeast Field Army are preserved in the city. Penjieshan Scenic Area is famous for its "Sky Bridge", a natural cobblestone channel in the sea that connects to the shore island when the tide goes out. Beiputuo Mountain integrates Buddhist culture and natural landscape, and the cultural relics of western Liaoning treasured by Jinzhou Museum bear witness to 5,000 years of civilization. Jinzhou barbecue, a specialty food, has been selected as a provincial intangible cultural heritage list.
As the northernmost deep-water seaport in China, Jinzhou Port is an important node in the Northeast Asian shipping network. Relying on the state-level economic and technological development zone, it focuses on the development of new energy, biopharmaceuticals and other emerging industries. The Beijing-Harbin High-Speed Railway and the Qin-Shenzhen Passenger Dedicated Line intersect here, forming a "golden corridor" connecting Northeast China and North China. Jinzhou Bay Airport further strengthens the comprehensive regional transportation system.
