The reasons why Jiangbeizui got its name can be referred to as follows:

Jiangbeizui’s business has a long history. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, commerce in this area began to take shape. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the development of shipping, it has become a distribution center for cargo transit. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, transactions became more frequent, with business houses everywhere and merchants gathering in large numbers.

Jiangbeizui Central Business District is the only national-level strategic financial center in central and western China, and is the gateway and window for inland areas to open to the outside world; as the first national-level new area in inland areas - Liangjiang New Area ( Administratively, it is the core and leader of the sub-provincial level). Jiangbeizui Central Business District has the uniqueness of combining the commanding heights of urban land and the national strategic orientation. It has a national level strategic height that is difficult to achieve in other regions in the central and western regions.

As the financial center at the head of China’s Yangtze River Economic Belt, Jiangbeizui Central Business District echoes Shanghai’s “Lujiazui” Financial CBD at the tail end of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and both dominate the financial pulse of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. . "There is Jiangbeizui above and Lujiazui below." This is the positioning of Jiangbeizui by Financial Mayor Huang Qifan. In order to avoid the empty city phenomenon that occurred when Lujiazui was first built due to the lack of commercial supporting facilities, Chongqing has included Jiangbeizui in the municipal business district planning. In addition to serving as a financial center, Jiangbeizui will also serve as a commercial center.
