Its eight 'pillar industries' are metallurgy, chemical manufacture, environmental protection, electric power, machinery, shipping, construction, and building materials.

Environment

Due to its history as an industrial base, the district is considered severely polluted with heavy metals. The local air quality has been improved in recent years but is still considered to exceed acceptable levels and is among the worst of Wuhan's districts.

The district is a demo area of the sponge city concept to reduce flooding.
