Huangdao District (Chinese: 黄岛区; lit. 'Yellow Island District') and West Coast New Area[1] (Chinese: 西海岸新区), is a district and a state-level new area of Qingdao, Shandong, China, located south-west and west of the main urban area of the city on the western shore of Jiaozhou Bay. It was identical to Qingdao Economic and Technological Development Zone (QETDZ, simplified Chinese: 青岛经济技术开发区; traditional Chinese: 青島經濟技術開發區; pinyin: Qīngdǎo Jīngjì Jìshù Kāifā Qū), which was launched in 1985 after the zone was merged with Huangdao District and set up the Free Trade Zone in 1992. In December 2012, Jiaonan, a county-level city in Qingdao was merged into Huangdao District.[2]
The pillar industries engaged in the zone include electronics, household electric appliances, building materials, petrochemicals, machinery and pharmaceutical drugs.[3][4] It is connected via Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.
In mid 2018, the Ministry of Civil Affairs approved the consolidation of Huangdao District Government and West Coast New Area Government into a single governing body, which became the fourth administrative state-level new areas after Pudong of Shanghai; Binhai of Tianjin; and Nansha of Guangzhou. The population was 1.71 million in 2014.
Administrative divisions
Huangdao District is the earliest key area of Qingdao's opening-up to the outside world. In 1985, the Qingdao Economic and Technological Development Zone was built in Huangdao District. In 1992, with the approval of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Government, the total area of Qingdao Economic and Technological Development Zone and Huangdao District was expanded to 217.33 square kilometers after the integration of the two district systems. In 2004, the original renovation system of Hongshiya Town in Jiaonan City was transferred to Huangdao District, and the area was further expanded to 274.1 square kilometers. Huangdao is divided into 12 subdistricts and 10 more rural towns; the latter half of the current subdistricts and all towns were ceded from Jiaonan City.[5][6]
