Daren Industrial Park is located in Hechi city's Jinchengjiang and Yizhou district, approximately 10 kilometers from Jinchengjiang's downtown area and 35 km from downtown Yizhou. The park is composed of two areas, Daren and Hehua, and has a planned area of 41.6 square kilometers.

It will develop industries such as non-ferrous metal smelting, deep processing chemicals and building materials. It aims to become an ecological circular economy demonstration base for intelligent manufacturing, electronic information, new building materials and the modern logistics industry.

In recent years, Hechi has invested a total of 6.8 billion yuan ($1.1 billion) in this park, including 3.7 billion yuan for infrastructure construction and 3.1 billion yuan for industrial projects. The park has attracted 27 enterprises such as Chilwee Group, China Gas and ENN Energy.

In 2020, Daren Industrial Park realized a main business income of 3.12 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 155 percent. Its tax revenue was 123 million yuan, up 430 percent year-on-year.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), the park will promote development through innovation and investment attraction, and optimize its industrial chain.

Its economic goals are a main business income of 50 billion yuan and a tax revenue of 1.5 billion yuan by 2025, and a total income of 100 billion yuan and a tax revenue of 5 billion yuan by 2035, making it a model of industrial transformation and upgrading in Guangxi and even the Western China region.
