traffic
The highway from Guangzhou to Zhanjiang (广湛 高速) runs through the prefecture along the cities of Yangdong, Yangjiang and Yangxi and a highway that connects Yangjiang and Yangdong with the dense highway network between Guangzhou, Foshan , Jiangmen , Zhongshan , Zhuhai and Macau (西部沿海 高速 literally "west" "along the sea" "highway").
In the north of the prefecture (Yangchun) the railway line runs from Guangzhou to Zhanjiang (三 茂 线). Another smaller railway line runs from the north of the prefecture to the port of Yangjiang in the south (阳阳 铁路).
economy
Knives, lacquer, soybeans and fish are particularly important for Yangjiang's economy.
60% of the Chinese production of knives and scissors takes place in Yangjiang and 80% of the exports come from there. The prefecture is therefore also called the capital of the scissors (国家 刀剪 之 都). One of the special local products is also a knife (阳江 小刀 literally “Yangjiang” “small knife”). Knife counterfeits, such as alleged “Made in Solingen ”, Global or CHROMA knives , also come from Yangjiang .
The production of kites in Yangjiang has a 1400 year old tradition.
