Wudang to build largest TCM industrial park in southern China

Wudang district in Guiyang, the capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province, is set to build the largest traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industrial park in southern China, incorporating the Southern Traditional Chinese Medicine Material Distribution Center, according to a report from Guiyang Daily.

At a meeting held between the government of Wudang and the Guizhou Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau on Oct 10, in-depth and detailed discussions were conducted on the location and positioning of the TCM industrial park, construction planning, policy formulation and specific work plans, as well as how to implement the project and related work time nodes.

Attending government officials and experts reached a consensus that Wudang is a perfect choice for the construction of the TCM industrial park.

Wudang has a superior traffic network with convenient and easy access to its airport, expressways, high-speed railways and urban trunk roads.

It also boasts outstanding ecological resources with 52.13 percent forest coverage and over 90 percent of good and excellent air quality days each year. 

Bringing the ecological and health industries together, the district has been developing health, big data and tourism as its three major industries.

Construction of the TCM industrial park will include a TCM processing and production park, a logistics center, a trading center, an operational center and supporting living facilities for staff members.

It will be built into a center for TCM processing, product tracking and demonstration, as well as education and communication in Guizhou province.
