The Huli New Quality Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park, located at No. 2000, Yun Ding North Road, He Shan Street, Huli District, Xiamen, Fujian, is the first "industry upstairs" project in Xiamen Island. Xiamen Huli District State-owned Assets Investment Group Co., Ltd. is the developer of the industrial park, promoting the redevelopment of the project through the "industry to industry" model.

"This project not only can improve the output value and tax revenue per mu of land, effectively enhance the land utilization rate and industrial carrying capacity, but also can form an 'innovation and entrepreneurship complex upstairs and downstairs' in the vertical space, integrate the upstream and downstream industrial chains, and further play the synergistic effect of the industry nearby," said Huang Chang, the manager of the Investment Division of Huli State-owned Investment Group.

The jurisdictional area of Xiamen accounts for only 1.4% of the land area of Fujian Province. As the central urban area of Xiamen, Huli District established the development direction of industrial prosperity and strong industry at the beginning of its establishment, and achieved a high level of industrialization and urbanization in a relatively short period of time. However, under the general trend of cross-island development and the external transfer of industries within the island, the problems of industrial hollowing out in the old industrial areas of Huli, low level of industrial development, and low land output benefits have become increasingly prominent. It is urgent to accelerate the revitalization of low-efficiency industrial land in old industrial areas and promote in-depth transformation and upgrading of industries.

In the view of Chen Xibin, the deputy secretary of the Huli District Committee, the redevelopment of low-efficiency industrial land can not only stimulate and release new space and new momentum for industrial development, but also optimize the urban layout and enhance the urban image, which will further release the potential of land.

To solve the contradiction between insufficient industrial carrying capacity and low-efficiency idle industrial land, Huli District has explored and constructed a "one-window, one-stop" redevelopment service mechanism in recent years, inviting third parties to archive 100 industrial lands in the old industrial area of Huli.

As the largest "owner" of the old industrial area of Huli, Lianfa Group Co., Ltd. has witnessed the transformation of Huli industry. Zhang Wenmu, the general manager of the company, said: "The redevelopment of low-efficiency land is a process that the city needs to face in transforming towards 'two high and two modern' (high quality, high appearance, modernization, internationalization) and new quality production forces. We hope to play our advantages at this node, actively carry out investment promotion work, and implement the redevelopment of low-efficiency land better."

"We have also conducted in-depth research and demonstration on what kind of industry the old industrial area of Huli will develop in the future," said Dai Lesheng, a member of the Huli District Committee and the executive deputy head of Huli District. The old industrial area of Huli has location advantages and talent advantages, and can focus on creating technology-intensive industries suitable for "industry upstairs" by integrating enterprise resources, which is also in line with the development model of "headquarters + R&D + outsourcing manufacturing" vigorously promoted by Huli District. "At present, we have taken the lead in promoting a batch of pilot projects for redevelopment. Some projects have made substantial progress," said Dai Lesheng.

The industrial land of Xiamen Minxing Industrial Co., Ltd. in the old industrial area of Huli has become the first low-efficiency industrial land to be reserved by the government through agreement, and was transferred to Tongzhi Electronic Technology (Xiamen) Co., Ltd., which urgently needs a new factory. Zeng Jianyuan, the general manager of Tongzhi Electronics, said that with the rapid development of AI technology, R&D has higher requirements for test efficiency. The R&D base is in Huli, and the production base is in Xiang'an. From the perspective of R&D and manufacturing, the benefits are greatly reduced. Now, with both R&D and production settled in Huli District, product development can be accelerated and costs can be reduced.

At present, under the general trend of cross-island industrial development, Huli's "industrial return" relies on the new trend of integrated development of manufacturing and service industries, focusing on strengthening collaborative linkage and differentiated development with surrounding and offshore industrial functional areas. Chen Xibin said: "We hope to revitalize low-efficiency industrial land, use the high-quality public supporting services and good location advantages of the central city area, drive the return of advanced manufacturing and production services, and the re-agglomeration of high-quality people, to restore the glory of the old industrial area of Huli."

In the process of redeveloping low-efficiency industrial land, Huli District has given enterprises more autonomy. "We provide enterprises with a variety of redevelopment combination models," said Sun Qi, the permanent deputy director of the office of the Leading Group for the Redevelopment of Low-efficiency Industrial Land in Huli District.In a favorable business environment, many enterprises wish to continue to be rooted in the old industrial area of Huli. Peng Fanglan, the director of Huli Street Office in Huli District, said that about one-third of the land will expire within 10 years. For these enterprises, where to go is a question they have to face.

The factory of Xiamen Taisong Precision Electronics Co., Ltd. will expire in 2029. Whether to continue to invest was a question that the enterprise hesitated about for a while. When the Huli District launched a research project on the redevelopment of low-efficiency industrial land, Taisong Precision immediately expressed its willingness. The extension of the industrial land term has given the enterprise a "reassuring pill". In September, the Rongjia-Baixin AI Smart Technology Industrial Park project started construction on plot 103 of Huli Innovation Park. This is one of the first batch of key projects to promote the redevelopment of low-efficiency industrial land in Huli District, jointly built by the original owner of the plot, Rongjia Industrial Co., Ltd., and the newly introduced Baixin Information Technology Co., Ltd. in Xiamen.

Chen Xibin said that through the redevelopment of low-efficiency industrial land, Huli District will form a modern industrial park with complete functions, achieving the "three-in-one integration" of production, life, and ecology, attracting more high-quality enterprises to invest and develop, and further increasing the city's attractiveness and competitiveness.
