Authorities in Hunan's capital Changsha have established this country's latest "state-level new area".
The Xiangjiang New Area covers 490 square kilometers in Changsha.
It's situated on the west bank of the Xiang River.
It will pilot ten new reform measures in areas including government administration, economics, environmental protection and rural-urban integration.
Authorities hope to turn the Xiangjiang New Areas into a high-tech manufacturing and innovation base.
This is the 12th state-level new area developed here in China.
The first one was launched in Pudong in Shanghai in 1992.
