On March 20th, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the new batch of national cultural industry demonstration bases. Two companies from Jianye High-Tech Zone, Jiangsu Original Force Digital Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Shunyue Information Technology Co., Ltd., were selected, making up half of Nanjing's total entries.
What is a National Cultural Industry Demonstration Base?
These bases, evaluated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, are recognized for their significant economic and social benefits, strong industry influence, and role in driving the optimization and innovation of cultural industries.

Nanjing Financial City Phase II Reaches New Heights
In January, the main structure of the Nanjing Financial City Phase II (East) project was fully topped out, reaching a new height of 416.6 meters. This marks a new landmark in the Hexi area of Nanjing.
On March 25th, the project is in the internal decoration phase, with some areas expected to be completed and inspected by the end of the year.
Located in Jianye District's CBD, the 429,000-square-meter project includes two ultra-high-rise towers and four supporting podium buildings, combining offices, hotels, apartments, and commercial spaces. This significant development aims to create an international-standard financial hub, attracting high-quality financial businesses and enhancing Nanjing's status as a key financial center.
Constructed by Nanjing Financial City Construction Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nanjing Zijin Investment Group, and built by China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), the project will host the world's highest Kimpton Hotel from floors 61 to 81. Floors 84 and 85 are planned as observation decks, offering panoramic views of the city and the Yangtze River.
With the C1 tower reaching 416.6 meters and 88 floors, it has set a new height record in the Hexi area. The office interiors of the C1 tower aim to be completed by the end of June, with the sub-60 floors' super-grade A office spaces ready by the year's end.
"Qiu Wang Line" Power Project to Operate by June
The Qiu Wang 220kV power line project (referred to as "Qiu Wang Line") is expected to be operational by June this year.
This project is currently the largest-capacity and longest-distance 220kV onshore power cable line in China. It also marks the first time in the country that a power system crosses the Yangtze River using a highway tunnel.
Once operational, the Qiu Wang Line will deliver green electricity from northern Jiangsu directly to Nanjing's core urban areas, effectively alleviating power demand in Jianye District.
Project Overview
The Qiu Wang Line is a crucial infrastructure project for Nanjing's summer peak electricity demand. It starts at the Qiuteng 500kV substation in Pukou District and ends at the Wangjiang 220kV substation in Jianye District, covering a total length of 27.91 kilometers.
The project aims to transmit clean wind power from northern Jiangsu to Nanjing, serving major load centers in Jianye, Gulou, Yuhuatai, and Qixia New Port areas.
Construction Progress
Launched in April 2023 on Jiangxin Island, the project is divided into four sections: Jiangbei, Jiangxin Island, Yangtze River Tunnel, and Green Expo Garden.
Currently, the construction teams are working on completing the shield tunneling in the Jiangxin Island and Green Expo Garden sections. The 568-meter Green Expo Garden section is crucial for connecting the entire line.
Challenges and Solutions
The Green Expo Garden section is situated in a highly water-saturated, muddy soil layer beneath various structures like bridge abutments, commercial buildings, park flood protection, and sewer lines. Due to the constraints of the launch shaft size, the shield machine was launched in parts, with simultaneous excavation and assembly, making the process complex and high-risk.
According to Chen Zhihua, the chief engineer from Nanjing Yuaneng Power Engineering Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the project, 80% of the civil works have been completed smoothly. By early April, the Jiangxin Island and Green Expo Garden sections are expected to be fully connected.
Future Benefits
Once operational, the Qiu Wang Line will transmit 17.5 billion kWh of electricity annually to the central Hexi area, significantly easing the peak load supply gap in Nanjing's main urban area, especially Hexi. This will enhance the overall power supply capacity and reliability, supporting Nanjing's economic development.
