Covering five square kilometers in area, it will accommodate national scientific research bases and high tech enterprises, according to multiple Chinese media outlets.
In the second phase, the park plans to attract more institutes and provide more financial support in order to promote local scientific research in the fields of environmental protection, high-tech material development and biomedical use.
