Covering an administrative expanse of 19,700 square kilometers and hosting a permanent population of 2.798 million residents, the city encompasses 2 districts, 3 counties, and 2 subordinate cities.
Chaoyang is actively building itself as a strategic pioneer zone for integrating into the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and as a demonstration area for industrial transfer. The city is dedicated to becoming a high-level hub for leveraging technological innovation, a key provider of clean energy, and a center for new materials and modern metallurgical industries. Additionally, it aims to emerge as a leading source of high-quality green agricultural products and a unique destination for leisure tourism. Envisioned as a crucial node for cooperation in Northeast Asia, Chaoyang is dedicated to transforming into a modern open city around Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, transitioning into a modern, open city characterized by innovation, digitalization, and intelligence. Moreover, it aspires to be a livable city known for its green, low-carbon, civilized, and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Chaoyang boasts significant advantages in terms of its location and transportation. Positioned at the convergence of three provinces, it serves as a vital link connecting the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region with Northeast China. It facilitates seamless connections to Russia and Mongolia, as well as convenient access to Japan and Korea via sea routes. With three expressways traversing its terrain and nine railways, including the Beijing-Shenyang, Kazuo-Chifeng, and Chaoyang-Lingyuan high-speed railways, it has seamlessly integrated into the "2-hour economic circle" of Beijing, Shenyang, and Dalian. Moreover, it is conveniently located just around a hundred kilometers away from Jinzhou Port and Huludao Port. Additionally, Chaoyang Airport offers flights to Shanghai, Tianjin, and other key destinations.
The city boasts abundant resources and a distinctive climate. Encompassing nearly one-seventh of the province's land area, it has uncovered 53 types of valuable minerals spanning over 830 sites, with confirmed reserves of 46 types, including manganese, which tops the province's reserves. With wind power utilization hours ranging from approximately 2800 to 3200 annually and photovoltaic utilization hours from around 1500 to 1800, the potential development capacity for wind and photovoltaic power can soar up to 97 million kilowatts. Its new energy installed capacity, installation ratio, and annual power generation rank among the province's highest. As of February 2024, the city's wind and photovoltaic installed capacity has surged to 5.2614 million kilowatts.
Benefitting from extended sunshine hours and significant diurnal temperature fluctuations, Chaoyang yields premium agricultural products. Boasting a facility agriculture area of 640,000 mu, it commands a prominent position nationwide and leads the province in scale. Renowned for its clean and “green” vegetables and agricultural products, Chaoyang exports its bounty both domestically and internationally, with fresh-cut flower production and sales securing the second spot nationwide. Additionally, Chaoyang stands as a major producer of buckwheat, millet, red beans, and green beans. Its livestock production, including cattle, sheep, and rabbits, ranks first in Liaoning Province.
