County-level city (县级市)

Wenchang City

China's coastal spaceport, and an aerospace industrial city built around it.

文昌市 · Part of Haikou integrated economic circle

Wenchang occupies Hainan's north-eastern corner and is the location of the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site — China's low-latitude coastal launch facility, and the reason an otherwise agricultural county-level city has a national industrial programme.

Wenchang International Aerospace City is the designated key park built around that facility, and the province's investment programme for the city is explicitly pushing beyond launch services into satellite manufacturing and satellite applications. This is a supply chain being assembled rather than one that already exists, which is the opportunity and the risk in equal measure.

Wenchang also has a long coastline and Qinglan Port, and retains a substantial agricultural and fisheries economy alongside the aerospace programme.
