WUHU, Sept. 24, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Nestled along the Yangtze River, Wanzhi used to be a quiet agricultural town, but now it's buzzing with over 200 aviation-related companies.

In Wanzhi Town, a domestically developed general aviation aircraft can be produced from blueprint to finished product -- all within this small town, and with fully independent intellectual property rights.

Within its 3.49-square-kilometer area, the aviation town in Wanzhi boasts a fully integrated industrial chain that spans from aviation component manufacturing to the R&D, production, maintenance, and operation of both general aviation aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.

In 2024, Wuhu's low-altitude economy generated revenue of 46.38 billion yuan (about 6.52 billion U.S. dollars), a year-on-year increase of 15.95 percent.
