"American TWW company and Brazil paramount Mongolian Asia branch are stationed in Bishan..."

Bishan county will accelerate the pace of integration into the main city and build a shoe export base county.

The tunnel of the university town is close to the city, which is blocked by the mountains, and the space for the expansion of the main city to the west is blocked. However, the tunnel from Bishan to university town will open the way to the west of the main city.

The tunnel starts 2 kilometers south of Bishan County town, and passes through the Jinyun road in the East through the tunnel. It connects with the four road of the university city planning urban trunk road, greatly reducing the distance between the county and the main city. Bishan residents can drive to the main city for 10 minutes.

In the future, the tunnel will become a shortcut for Bishan's overall planning for urban and rural development and provide hardware for Bishan's development.

It is reported that the tunnel project with a total investment of 1 billion 243 million yuan has been built, and the construction period is expected to be 18 months. It will be completed and opened to traffic in July 2009.

Chen, a resident of Bi Cheng street in Bishan County, said his son worked in Shapingba and he often went to play.

It is said that after the tunnel is repaired, the bus is as cheap as the main city bus. After that, it can avoid the bumpy ride of long distance buses and save a lot of cars.

At present, the bus ride from Bishan to main city is about 50 minutes and the fare is 19 yuan. In the future, it takes only 10 minutes to go to the University Town tunnel, and the fare is about 10 yuan, which is more convenient and quick.

The private economy supports 70% GDP, the Secretary of the county's economic and social development committee said that in the past, the county had no major project layout and poor resources. It was a traditional agricultural county. Now the county has focused on industry and has become an industrial strong county.

At present, the private economy of the county has contributed 72% to GDP, and has been appraised as the ten strong county of the private economy in Chongqing for 4 consecutive years.

To build the export base of the western footwear industry, the director of shoe Office of the county said that at present, there are more than 1300 shoemaking enterprises and operators in the county, and the shoe industry's capacity, output value and output account for 60% of the whole city of Chongqing.

At the end of 2006, there were 480 registered trademarks of shoes in Bishan, and 22 enterprises were approved by China Leather Association to wear leather labels, accounting for 62.8% of Chongqing leather enterprises.

Bishan footwear industry has formed an annual scale of 62 million pairs of leather shoes and an annual output value of 4 billion yuan.

3 years later, the annual output value will reach 8 billion yuan, and the annual turnover will be more than 12 billion yuan.

Director Zhang also said that after 3 years, the county's footwear industry will earn more than $10 million in foreign exchange earnings.

For example, invest 160 million yuan in the construction of Brazil's paramount Mongolia Asia branch, after the production of 5 million pairs of shoes every year for export.

At that time, the county will change the current single way of relying solely on border trade exports, and will become an export demonstration county for the western footwear industry.
