In mid-August, the "Wuhan Hongshan District Changjiang Village Comprehensive Improvement Plan C5 Industrial Land Project" released a filing notice, proposing to build a "wholesale and retail integrated" one-stop procurement complex of approximately 100,000 square meters, targeting a mid-to-high-end agricultural and sideline products market.
The filing information shows that the project was submitted by Wuhan Jiangzhou Xinyuan Trade Co., Ltd. and is planned to start construction in October 2026. The market may in the future sell high-end fruits, specialty agricultural products, etc., and will be equipped with a large ground parking lot.
It is understood that there is already a Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market in the project area, which is the largest agricultural product trading center in central China. The market is located at No. 1 Teyi, Qingling Township, and faces the planned new agricultural wholesale market C5 land across the river. Due to the old image of the market, the frequent inflow and outflow of vehicles, and the easy traffic congestion, residents in the vicinity often report problems such as peculiar smells and nighttime noise. At the end of last year, there was news that the market would be relocated, with an initial selection of Jinkou Street in Jiangxia District.
After the announcement, some nearby residents believed the planning was inadequate and expressed their concerns through the city hotline citizen message board. The Qingling area where the project is located is a large residential area that already lacks large supermarkets, and the old market has not yet been relocated. The planning of a new agricultural wholesale market has caused dissatisfaction among some residents.
On September 1, the Zhangjia Bay Street, Changjiang Community, Hongshan District, replied that the land block had deficiencies in the early planning, including a public parking lot of about 57 acres, a sanitation transfer station, and a vehicle maintenance station, among other facilities. Although the village group has been coordinating with relevant departments for years to promote the relocation of the vehicle maintenance station, no substantial progress has been made. Until the relocation issue is resolved, the land block does not meet the conditions for large-scale industrial development. As of the latest news, the project for the new "wholesale and retail integrated" one-stop procurement complex in Baishazhou will be temporarily suspended.
