During the Xianfeng Period, six small islands were formed. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the people of Changxing took the responsibility of filling the river and damming the six small islands. The island has a marine climate. Due to the temperature regulation of the surrounding water, it is humid and cool in summer, mild in winter, well-balanced rain, fresh air, sufficient light and four distinct seasons.

On the South Bank of Changxing Island, there is a deep water coastline of nearly 20 kilometers, with a depth of 12 to 16 meters, a maximum depth of 22 meters and a width of about 1000 meters. With stable water regime and no sediment deposition, it is suitable for the construction of wharf, port machinery, shipbuilding, ship repair and logistics transfer base. It can dock 300000 DWT ships and has convenient access, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of marine equipment industry in Changxing.

Historical evolution

Changxing Island is a sandbank formed by sediment deposited in the estuary of the Yangtze River. It is about 20 km long from east to west and 14 km wide from north to south, with a land forming area of 88 square kilometers. It is located in the South Branch of the Yangtze River Estuary and divides the South Branch into two ports.

Changxing Island is composed of sandbanks, mainly including yawo sand, shitousha, Ruifeng sand, panjiasha, Yuanyuan sand, Jindai sand, etc. 700 years ago, Changxing Island was an underwater sandbank. In 1644, the area of yawo sand was 2.20 square kilometers in 1844, and that of chongbao sand was 7.20 square kilometers. After more than 100 years of siltation, the area of yawo sand has expanded to 14 square kilometers, becoming the main body of Changxing Island. Chongbaosha, located to the west of yawosha, had an area of 13.70 square kilometers by 1860. In 1880, chongbaosha was divided into three small sands, namely ruifengsha, shitousha and xiaoshitousha. The small stone sand soon collapsed into the river. In 1842, the area of stone sand was nearly 20 square kilometers. By the early 20th century, the sand body was shrinking. In 1854, the round sand covered an area of 1.4 square kilometers. It was located 5km southeast of yawosha. Due to the influence of tidal current, the sand body first moved to the northwest, close to yawosha, and then moved to the southeast, far away from yawosha. In the middle of the 20th century, the area of sandbanks expanded to 14 square kilometers. The area of annuity belt sand in 1919 is 5 square kilometers, which is located in the east of yawo sand, and then expanded to 7.50 square kilometers. In 1924, panjiasha covered an area of 9 square kilometers. It is located in the east of shitousha and the northwest of yawosha, with obvious erosion and collapse. In 1950, its area was reduced to 5-6 square kilometers.

These sandbodies formed Changxing Island in the 1960s and early 1970s after artificial branch blocking.

During the reign of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty, six sandbanks became land one after another. In 2005, Changxing Township was transferred from Baoshan District to Chongming County. In October 2009, the municipal government approved the establishment of Changxing town.

Changxing Island is about 31 km long from east to west and 2-4 km wide from north to south. Its current area is about 155 square kilometers, of which the area of Qingcaosha Reservoir is about 67 square kilometers. The people's Government of Changxing town governs 24 administrative villages and Qianwei farm covers an area of about 13 square kilometers. The current situation of the island is about 120 thousand people, of whom 40 thousand are registered residence and 80 thousand are migrants.

The current situation of Changxing Island is mainly citrus planting, with a planting area of 20 square kilometers, known as the "hometown of Citrus". Since 2002, large state-owned enterprises such as Zhenhua heavy industry, China Shipbuilding phase I and China shipping industry have settled down on the South Bank of Changxing Island. In 2008, the industrial output value reached 37 billion yuan.

On October 31, 2009, the Yangtze River Tunnel Bridge was completed and opened to traffic. Changxing Island has become the "bridgehead" connecting Chongming islands, Central Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu. Changxing Island is only 30 minutes' drive from the center of Shanghai.

Function orientation

In May 2008, the municipal government set up Changxing Island Development Office and Changxing Island Development Company. In September 2008, order No. 7 of the municipal government promulgated and implemented the administrative measures for the development and construction of Changxing Island in Shanghai. In February 2009, the municipal government approved the master plan of Changxing Island (2008-2020). The above-mentioned major measures of the municipal government mark the start of a new round of development and construction of Changxing Island, which has been incorporated into the process of standardization, order and science.

For Changxing Island, industry is the foundation, water is the lifeline, and ecology is the key. The development and construction of Changxing Island is related to the national strategy and the future development of Shanghai, and plays an important role in supporting the construction of Chongming Ecological Island. Therefore, the development and construction of Changxing Island should achieve three goals: the implementation of national strategy, the rapid development of local economy and the continuous improvement of residents' living standards.

Changxing is a large orange production base in Shanghai, known as Orange Island. The citrus area of the township is 20000 mu, with a total output of 40000 tons in 2016. The main varieties are Xinjin, Weizhang, Gongchuan and Huangpi orange, mantouhong, sweet orange, etc., which are rated as domestic high-quality products. They are fresh and sweet with moderate acidity, and are favored by the majority of consumers.

Changxing is rich in water resources and aquatic resources, with 3690 tons of fresh water fish culture and pelagic catch each year. The Yangtze River estuary is rich in aquatic resources, with more than 100 kinds of fish. The famous and special aquatic products, such as anchovy, Huiyu, swordfish, perch and sea crab, can be tasted all the year round.

Based on the reality of Changxing, since 2000, the Party committee and government of Changxing town have proposed and organized the implementation of "strengthening organization construction and implementing the" poverty alleviation "project with" one village, one product "as the main content". The unique climate conditions and island resources were used to breed special livestock and poultry, and the income increasing channels of farmers were widened.

Scale of development

The total planned land area of Changxing Island is about 160.6 square kilometers. The planned urban construction land is about 55.6 square kilometers, of which the industrial land is about 2
