Kaifaqu was established in September, 1984 under the former name of Dalian Economic and technological Development Zone (Chinese: 大连经济技术开发区; pinyin: Dàlián jīngjì jìshù kāifā qū) or Dalian Development Zone (DDZ). The new name has been in place for several years, due to the much extended range of the territory including the Dalian Free Trade Zone (Chinese: 大连保税区; pinyin: Dàlián bǎoshuìqū) to the south and Dalian DD Port (Chinese: 双D港; pinyin: Shuāng D gǎng) to the east. The new name also reflects increased economic prosperity. Now Kaifaqu is a quickly expanding city, with a territory of 338 square kilometers, and a population of 360,000 including 31 ethnic groups: Han, Man, Hui, Chaoxian (Korean), Mongolian and other nationalities. On April 9, 2010, in order to fully demonstrate gathering advantage and development vitality and further accelerate the process of urbanization of Dalian, Dalian Municipal Committee and Municipal Government decided to combine Jinzhou District and Dalian Economic and Technical Development Zone (Export Processing Zone, Golden Pebble Beach National 5A-Level Tourism and Holiday Resort included) and found Jinzhou New District.[1]
