economy

Lianyungang's economy is geared towards processing the larger phosphate and ore deposits near the city. It was one of the first 14 cities to open its port to world trade. This ensured enormous economic growth and also attracted numerous tourists.

Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant is 30 km east of Lianyungang . Two nuclear reactors are in operation, two (as of 2012) are under construction. The Fukushima nuclear disaster (March 2011) made the population aware that nuclear power plants directly on the coast are threatened by tsunamis.

The city is the eastern end of the Longhai – Lanzhou railway line and is located on the Qingdao – Yancheng railway line, which opened on December 26, 2018 .
