Yingtan · Yujiang Eyewear Park Scenic Area

The Yingtan · Yujiang Eyewear Park Scenic Area is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

The Yingtan · Yujiang Eyewear Park Scenic Area is situated in Zhongtong Town, Yujiang County, with a planned area of approximately 1.8 square kilometers. Yujiang County is nationally known as the "Hometown of Eyewear." As early as the Jiaqing era of the Qing Dynasty, eyewear workshops and sales cooperatives appeared in Zhongtong Town, with a history of more than 200 years. In 2002, the Yujiang County Committee and County Government planned to establish a 5-square-kilometer eyewear industrial park. In 2006, it was named the "Jiangxi Province Eyewear Industry Base," and in 2012, it received the title of "National Foreign Trade Transformation and Upgrading Professional Demonstration Base," making it one of the top five eyewear production bases in China. Currently, the eyewear park covers a built-up area of 2.6 square kilometers, with over 70 eyewear manufacturing enterprises and more than 10,000 industrial workers.

In recent years, to vigorously promote the culture of Yingtan eyewear and continuously enhance the city’s visibility and reputation, leveraging the development advantages of the Yingtan Longhu Mountain 5A-level scenic area and combining the unique characteristics of the eyewear industrial park, the Yingtan · Yujiang Eyewear Park Scenic Area has created a distinctive eyewear culture industrial tourism route.

The scenic area centers around the Yingtan International Eyewear City as its core attraction, with key sights including the Taiwanese Food Street, World Eyewear Museum, Eyewear Culture Theme Park, Yingxi Sculpture Park, and Eyewear Manufacturing Experience Site. It carefully integrates cultural experience zones, entertainment and leisure areas, scenic viewing spots, and eyewear production line displays, forming a multifunctional eco-leisure and wellness destination. Currently, the Yingtan International Eyewear City, with a total investment of 1 billion yuan and covering an area of 400 acres, has over 200 shops in operation; the world's largest eyewear museum, with a total investment of over 40 million yuan and a total construction area of 3,800 square meters, has been opened to the public; the 9.8-kilometer Eyewear Culture Theme Park not only provides visitors with a leisure space but also creates a green corridor along the Xin River; the Yingxi Sculpture Park boasts a beautiful environment and also incorporates the regional cultural characteristics of Yingtan. Additionally, supporting facilities include a Taiwanese cuisine restaurant, Ukrainian restaurant, Vienna Hotel, Yellow Wax Stone Market, and Eyewear Technology Training School.

In addition, the scenic area has established a comprehensive work network covering the entire park, carrying out all-around ecological protection and restoration of the water bodies, vegetation, and supporting infrastructure. At present, the hardware and software construction of the scenic area is largely in place, and the service facilities are largely complete, including a 675-square-meter Tourist Service Center, a 105-square-meter tourist restroom, an underground parking lot spanning over 20,000 square meters, a 3,600-square-meter three-dimensional green ground parking lot, and various highly distinctive eyewear culture-themed signage systems. Meanwhile, management systems have become increasingly robust, and the area boasts a high-quality team of staff and management professionals.
