Will Zhanjiang City Develop to Huaguang Town? From a Planning Perspective, the Future Looks Promising
Regarding the development issues of Huaguang Town in Mazhang District, Zhanjiang, some netizens are pessimistic. Because Huaguang Town is located in the suburbs of Zhanjiang. Huaguang Town's largest attraction is Huaguang Rock, which is a landmark for tourism in Zhanjiang but has not been developed well, with outdated facilities and unreasonable planning, lagging behind other cities' 4A scenic areas. Judging from the current situation of Huaguang Rock, the development of Huaguang Town does not seem optimistic.
However, I believe that Zhanjiang's future development will undoubtedly radiate to Huaguang Town. Why? Because Zhanjiang City's urban development positioning is eastward and westward, and Huaguang's future development positioning is as a western district ecological residential and tourism zone, relying on the steel and petrochemical industries of the Donghai Island head enterprises, leveraging the tourism resources of Huaguang Rock as a leading resource and the advantages of the Ocean University and vocational training base, focusing on the development of ecological tourism and ecological health and residence.
What are the highlights of Huaguang Town's tourism resources? Let me briefly introduce them.
One is the possession of excellent landscape resources. The Huaguang Rock Scenic Area's lake and volcanic landform tourism loop, including Huaguang Rock, Qiaoying Ridge, Pingling Ridge and the wild park, can be considered Zhanjiang's most tourism resources.
Two is the possession of distinctive mangrove ecological landscape views. Utilizing Huaguang Town's abundant mangrove resources and its islands, creating distinctive seaside amusement projects.
Three is the possession of ancient village humanistic tourism resources. Huaguang's old county, Cheng Village, Zhu Mei and other ancient villages, plus the (Nao Dance Festival) characteristic folk customs, can create rural characteristic tourism!
Four is the possession of good education tourism resources. Guangdong Ocean University and Zhanjiang Vocational Training Base are all in Huaguang Town, which are good cultural and educational tourism resources, can be used to set up startup bases or projects targeting the development of children's intelligence, with good prospects.
In conclusion, with Zhanjiang's city expansion to the west, Mazhang Huaguang Town has a significant location advantage, developed transportation, the Yuzhan High Speedway, Port Highway, Lei Hu Fast Line, S373 Line pass through, it can receive the downstream industrial and agricultural base of Donghai Island and serve as a residential area, the three mountains and Qiaoying Ridge foot are excellent high-end residential areas, Huaguang Farm can also provide the city's westward expansion with a large number of land resources.
As for when Huaguang will become a part of Zhanjiang City, it's hard to say, but it won't be far off, related to Zhanjiang's overall economic and transportation development, the opening of high-speed rail and maglev trains is a favorable news, Huaguang is not far from West Station, convenient transportation will lead to an increase in foreign population, and tourism will develop faster. In addition, Huaguang has a lot of farmland, maybe a real estate giant will take a fancy to a large piece of land and develop an independent tourism real estate, which will immediately make Huaguang red,
Actually, Zhanjiang City's urban planning bureau has already released the 'Zhanjiang Mazhang District Huaguang Town Overall Planning (2017-2035)' (Draft), inviting public opinion to be solicited, and the publicity shows that Huaguang Town will be planned as a national-level characteristic tourist town, a coastal ecological provincial central town, and an important port industrial aggregation zone in Zhanjiang, forming 'one core, three hearts, three axes and five zones' spatial structure, as follows——
One core: To create a town service core in the center of the town, integrating administrative, cultural, medical, educational and commercial functions.
Three hearts: Innovation service center, tourism service center, industrial service center.
Three axes: East-West production-city development axis and North-South town service axis, tourism development axis.
Five zones: Town residential zone, education innovation zone, tourism development zone, port industrial development zone, ecological conservation zone.

Like this Mazhang Huaguang Town, the prospect is brilliant, the land price and housing price will increase, it's a matter of time. Do you think it's good?
