Nanpu Development Zone belongs to the municipal jurisdiction of Tangshan City and is an important part of Caofeidian New District. Located in the center of Bohai Sea, it has good human and geographical conditions for economic development and is highly concerned by many economists and senior leaders.

As a port city or hinterland, Nanpu Development Zone will develop into another economic, political and cultural center in the south of Tangshan. Therefore, economists predict that with the northward shift of investment hotspots, the Bohai Rim region will become the third economic growth pole after the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta.
