The zone’s current official overview describes a planned control area of 110 square kilometers, management of four subdistricts, and a resident population of more than 350,000. An English-language government profile places the zone in downtown Jiaxing, describes it as a city-centered development zone, and identifies modern manufacturing and modern services as its principal areas of focus.

Jiaxing’s location gives the zone a regional role within the Yangtze River Delta. The government profile places it near Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Ningbo and notes connections through the Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed railway and expressway. The zone’s own transport-planning page presents a high-speed-rail metropolitan area intended to combine station development with business, exhibitions, tourism services and international commercial facilities.

It identifies intelligent manufacturing, life and health, and new energy and materials among the area’s active industrial clusters, while the Jiaxing Intelligence and Innovation Park focuses on headquarters and digital economies and on Internet-of-Things and integrated-circuit industries.
