Covering an area of 162 square km, Shanghai's Changxing island is at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The island functions as a reservoir for the world's marine equipment, Shanghai's ecological water source, and a destination for sightseeing. It is known as a national model base for new industries and a national-level demonstration zone for marine economy development.

The Yangtze River tunnel and bridge enables the Changxing island to be a key link between the city of Shanghai and the city clusters north of the Yangtze River and an important doorway for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta region.

Changxing island is only 25 km from the Lujiazui financial area and the metro line from downtown area to Chongming island, which will go through Changxing, will make the island a part of city life in Shanghai that is easily accessible within 30 minutes.
