Chajian Town: Chajian Town is one of Anhui Province’s 200 central established towns and one of the 30 pilot towns for economic reform and development. Formerly known as "Little Nanyang," it is located in the western part of Tianchang City in eastern Anhui, within the "Yangtze River Delta" region and the one-hour metropolitan economic circle of Nanjing. It serves as a key corridor for the east-to-west industrial gradient transfer in China.

The town enjoys convenient transportation. National Highway 205 (Ninglian First-Class Highway) and the newly constructed Ninghuai Expressway run north–south through the area, while Provincial Road 312 cuts across it east–west. Its strategic location offers notable advantages: it lies just around 70 kilometers from major regional cities such as Yangzhou to the east, Chuzhou to the north, Nanjing to the south, and Huai’an to the west...
