Construction began on the Yichang Smart Logistics Distribution Center on November 11. As the second phase of the Three Gorges Logistics Park, it forms part of a national backbone cold-chain logistics base.
With a planned investment of 1 billion yuan, the project covers 212.3 mu (14.15 hectares) and has a total floor area of around 173,000 square meters. It will comprise five zones: a service center, a supply chain center, a sorting center, a warehousing and distribution center, and a cold-chain consolidation center, along with supporting facilities.
The new phase will be integrated with the park's existing first phase, sharing its facilities, tenant base and logistics channels.
It is set to become a smart supply chain hub for the Yichang-Jingzhou-Jingmen-Enshi city cluster, a key distribution point for agricultural products from western Hubei to reach broader markets, a retail fulfillment center for the Three Gorges region, and an intermodal transfer station along the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Scheduled for completion in the second half of 2027, the project will launch investment promotion simultaneously. It will strengthen core logistics services, advance supply chain transformation and expand hub-based services, injecting smart logistics momentum into high-quality development of the local real economy.
Once operational, the hub will help foster large-scale trading enterprises and A-grade logistics firms, boost industrial upgrading, attract more businesses, and support local employment. It will further strengthen Yichang’s position as a core logistics hub linking western Hubei and eastern Chongqing.
