Taiwanese Enterprise Investment Zone, with an original area of 1.8 square kilometers, is one of the two regions for investment by Taiwanese enterprises in Chinese mainland, as authorized by the State Council.

In 1997, it was extended 6 kilometers towards the mouth of Minjiang River to the sea. Taiwanese enterprises give priority to Fujian province as far as the cross-Straits economic cooperation and trade is concerned.

In this way, the zone has become a pilot port, and trade and shipping center for three direct links of trade, mail, and air across the Straits, a key area for division of labor and coordination between Fujian and Taiwan, and a distributing center for the processing business.
