Introduction of Yuhuan

Yuhuan was a small island in history, and there was Chumen Peninsula to north of Yuhuan Island over the narrow Xuanmen Channel. Therefore people should go out of Yuhuan island to Chumen Peninsula by little boat, very inconveniencely.

In 1960′s People wanted to change the traffic situation. Maybe people were not rich and Yuhuan was a small and economically backward place, so there was no money to build a bridge, and the goverment did’t think it was a good idea to spend a lot money to build a bridge in such an island. As a result, people build a dam which was cheaper to build connecting Yuhuan Island to Chumen Peninsula.

From late 1970s, as the reforn and open of China, people in Yuhuan began the industrialization, and build many factories of sanitary and valve industry, furniture industry, glasses industry and also automotive parts industry.

Origin of automotive parts manufacturers in Yuhuan

There were many fishmen lived in southeast of Yuhuan, the town Kanmen. The fishmen knew how to repair the machines in the fishboat, and some of them began to repair the vehicles. Then they realize them can make some automotive parts. Little by little the small workshop grew and some of them became big factories.
