Although it is far from the coastal areas in the east, Xi'an has the potential to be a catalyst for development in the west thanks to its inland port.
The Xi'an International Trade and Logistics Park will play a vital role in the modernization of China's western areas and will help close the gap with the more-developed eastern coastal regions, said Han Song, deputy mayor of Xi'an, and Party chief of the park.
When officials proposed in 2008 to turn Shaanxi's landlocked provincial capital into an international port, the idea met with opposition from the outset
The Xi'an International Trade and Logistics Park is located in northeastern section of the provincial capital city Xi'an in the delta area of the Bahe and Weihe rivers. The planned area for this park is 120 square kilometers.
