In the grand course of history, 40 years is just the blink of an eye, yet the Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone has written a legendary story of hard work over the past four decades.
In October 1984, China established its first national-level economic and technological development zone – the Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone. Today, the Zone has emerged as a key engine of economic growth, not just for Dalian, but for Liaoning province and Northeast China in general. Last year, the Zone achieved a regional GDP of 157.56 billion yuan ($22.47 billion), marking a 7.6% year-on-year increase.
The 40 years of development and progress would not have been possible without the dedication of generations of workers in the Zone. To celebrate this extraordinary journey and honor their efforts, a staff performance was held at the Dalian Development Zone Grand Theater.
