Autonomous county (自治县)
Changjiang Li Autonomous County
West-coast county in the Danzhou–Yangpu circle, with mining, energy and clean-power assets.
昌江黎族自治县 · Part of Danzhou–Yangpu economic circle
Changjiang lies on the west coast between Dongfang and Danzhou, inside the Danzhou–Yangpu economic circle. It has a long-established mining and heavy-industrial base — the Shilu iron ore deposit is among China's better-known — and hosts significant power-generation capacity.
Its economy is therefore unlike most of Hainan's: resource extraction, energy and industry rather than tourism or services, with tropical agriculture alongside.
