Inland International Logistics Hub
Jiangbei is actively developing into an inland international logistics hub, serving as a vital node in China's Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It boasts Guoyuan Port, the largest inland "water-rail-road" intermodal hub in the country. It is the only inland comprehensive bonded zone with dual functions of water and air transport, featuring the Two Rivers Guoyuan Port, and the national-level railway hub station, Yuzui Station. With its integrated transportation advantages of "road, rail, water, air, and rail," and a well-established multimodal transportation system, it seamlessly connects international logistics arteries such as the China-Europe Railway Express, the Western Land-Sea New Channel, the Yangtze River Golden Waterway, and the Chongqing-Manzhouli-Russia Freight Train. This forms an open pattern of inward radiation and global connectivity. In 2023, Jiangbei's total foreign trade import and export volume remained among the top three in the city, with its import volume ranking second in the city.

The Preferred Area for an International Consumer Centre
Jiangbei is striving to become a centre for building an international consumer center city. From the allure of Jin Street to distinctive night markets, from cultural and creative bases to trendy landmarks, the concentration of international consumption has become a driving force for economic and social development. Six major gathering areas including Guanyinqiao Business District, Jiangbei CBD, Cuntan International New Town, Beibin Road Economic Belt, Guoyuan Port, and Wubao International Eco-Sports City are complementing each other, with Jiangbei now hosting over 2,600 outbound-oriented enterprises, nearly 200 international first-line brands, and close to a hundred commercial headquarters. In 2023, Jiangbei ranked among the top three in the city in terms of total retail sales of consumer goods, ranked first in terms of online retail sales, recorded the fastest growth rate in the catering industry, and the second fastest growth rate in the accommodation industry.

It is the first "Famous Commercial Street in China" in Southwestern China, the only "National AAAA level Urban Tourism Scenic Area" in Western China, and a national level tourism and leisure block. During the Mid-autumn Festival and the National Day holiday, the daily foot traffic exceeded one million.
