North Hezhou between the Zhuhai and Niwanmen bridges will become a key transport hub with high-speed railways, subways, and intercity MRTs convening there, it was announced at the 8th Plenary Session of the 4th CPC Doumen District Committee on Aug 14.

The area lies just east of Jinwan District's Hongqi Town and is where the Jiangmen-Zhuhai Expressway meets Zhuhai Avenue. Nearby is the popular Yi Ke Shu Leisure Farm, noted for bamboo structures, fishing, camping, and vegetable gardens. 

In 2016, the Zhuhai Housing & Urban-Rural Planning & Construction Bureau announced that the Hezhou Central Business District (CBD) would be developed into an industrial service center and high-end service sector positioned for finance and trade, headquarters offices, modern services, business, and recreation.

As for the hub, district leaders now anticipate preliminary research on siting Doumen sections of the Guangzhou-Jiangmen-Zhuhai-Macao, Guangzhou-Zhongshan-Zhuhai-Macao and Shenzhen-Zhuhai high-speed railways. Meanwhile, among the city's planned urban rail transit lines are Jiuzhou Port-Hezhou-Zhuhai Airport, Hengqin-Baitengtou, Baitengtou-South Hezhou, and Doumen-South Hezhou. 

The Doumen government will also apply for an extension of Metro Line 3, requesting that construction accompany that of Metro Lines 1 and 2.

Infrastructure and public service systems of Hezhou are to be built to the high standards of an internationalized and modern super urban area.

Furthermore, it was proposed that Doumen be further integrated into the city's arterial road network. The Xianghai Bridge, which is being constructed over the Huangyang River parallel to and north of Zhuhai Avenue, can be connected to that thoroughfare, it was determined. The Zhuhai Bridge is currently being expanded. The Xianghai Bridge between the Meihua and Xinfengwei interchanges will open next year and other sections will follow by 2021. The 20-km span is to be another key east-west passage.

Meanwhile, the planning and development of Baiteng Lake Financial Island, designated as part of the new central business district of Doumen, will commence. Baiteng Lake is a popular resort area that is also noted for Baiteng Lotus Root. The lake lies east of Hezhou and south of the Jianfeng Bridge in Nongmin New Town.

Also envisioned as a charming ecological new town, Doumen will further promote lush mountains and crystal-clear waters. A Ten-mile Waterfront Corridor will be created along the Huangyang River following the example of Lovers Avenue in Xiangzhou District.
