Industrial site
The Changhua Coastal Industrial Park, commonly known as Changbin, is a vast industrial estate spanning approximately 3,643 hectares in Changhua County along Taiwan's western coast. This ambitious land reclamation project was launched in 1976 to provide space for expanding industries while addressing the geographical constraints of the region. The park is organized into three distinct zones, Lukang, Xianxi, and Lunwei, each catering to specific sectors such as metal processing, chemical manufacturing, and renewable energy production. In recent years, it has become a central hub for Taiwan's green energy initiatives, hosting significant onshore wind farms and serving as a base for major offshore wind power projects in the Taiwan Strait. Beyond its industrial capacity, the park incorporates ecological buffer zones and research facilities dedicated to coastal management and sustainable development. Its strategic location and state-of-the-art infrastructure make Changbin a critical driver of regional economic growth and a prominent model for large-scale industrial land use on reclaimed territory.
