Pingtan, an island city off East China’s Fujian province, set up a pavilion at the 21st China International Fair for Investment and Trade(CIFIT) inaugurated in Xiamen, a coastal city in Fujian.

Themed “a window for cooperation between Fujian and Taiwan and China’s opening up to the outside world”, Pingtan Pavilion focuses on displaying its achievements made in recent years and attracting business investment by showcasing its potential, planning and targets.

"When I was busy with my garment export business outside, enormous changes have taken place back home. I'll probably start something new in Pingtan because I would like to contribute too.” Gao Li, chairman of Tanbei Group (Pingtan) Co., Ltd., said that Pingtan has been designated as a window for opening to the outside world. After years of development, the city has grown from an isolated island to a modern city full of opportunities, which boosted his confidence in investment.

In addition, they also introduced business incentives to entrepreneurs from other cities.
