From a computing power industry base between Beijing and Tianjin to a key hub of the national computing power network, Langfang City in Hebei Province has completed a profound digital transformation in over 10 years. As of now, a total of 36 data centers have been built in the city, with a total scale of intelligent computing exceeding 200000 P. The city's computing power sub index has ranked first on the list of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology for two consecutive years. The 2026 China Computing Power Conference will be held in Langfang from September 11 to 13, 2026. This computing power city in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei urban agglomeration is writing a high-quality development answer sheet for the digital economy era with a solid industrial foundation, unique comparative advantages, and significant construction achievements.

Building a solid foundation for the development of the computing power industry

In 2009, Langfang seized the opportunity of Beijing's big data industry spillover and took the lead in launching data center construction in Hebei Province, with a forward-looking layout of the computing power industry. Nowadays, a number of leading domestic computing industry enterprises such as Runze Technology, Huawei, Wanguo Data, and Century Internet have deeply rooted themselves in Langfang, and seven national computing center service providers have already established their presence. Langfang City has built 14 national level green data centers; Runze Technology has delivered the first fully liquid cooled intelligent computing center in Langfang, China, with a computing efficiency ranking among the top in the country. The ultra-low latency fiber optic link directly connected to the core nodes in Beijing has been established, with a one-way transmission latency as low as 0.33 milliseconds. The overall response speed of the data center is less than 1 millisecond, achieving real-time interaction of Beijing corridor data at the same city level. Langfang has built and put into use the first provincial-level computing power monitoring and dispatching platform in China, and has landed innovative carriers such as Hebei Artificial Intelligence Computing Center and Hebei Provincial Computing Power Industry Technology Research Institute. Research and introduce the first city level artificial intelligence plus action plan in the province, the construction plan for the artificial intelligence industry cluster area in Langfang City. 49 artificial intelligence models, including Liye Langfang and Dayu, have been implemented and applied in multiple fields such as government services, urban governance, cultural tourism and transportation, and medical and health care.

Core advantages of forging computing power industry

Langfang is located in the core hinterland of the Beijing Tianjin Xiongnu Golden Triangle, with the main urban area 40 kilometers away from Beijing urban area, 60 kilometers away from Tianjin urban area, and 80 kilometers away from Xiong'an New Area. It has fully integrated into the Beijing Tianjin Xiongnu half-hour commuting circle; Within an hour's drive, three international airports can be reached, and 11 railways, 13 highways, and 32 national and provincial highways are interconnected within the area, providing transportation advantages for building low latency computing nodes and undertaking the overflow of Beijing's computing power demand. Langfang is deeply involved in the coordinated development of Beijing Tianjin Hebei region and the high-quality construction of the the Belt and Road. Relying on the huge market of 110 million people in Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, Langfang has successfully held international events such as the China Langfang International Economic and Trade Fair. Langfang is a comprehensive pilot zone for cross-border e-commerce, with the Beijing Daxing International Airport Economic Zone Langfang, China Hebei Free Trade Zone Daxing Airport Area Langfang, Langfang Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and 11 provincial-level and above development zones; The annual sales of 27 industrial clusters exceed 470 billion yuan, laying a solid industrial foundation for empowering the real economy with computing power. Langfang is a city with a net inflow of population, with a net increase of 1.1 million people over the past 10 years; There are 12 universities and 26 vocational colleges within the region, with a total enrollment of over 260000 students.

Empowering thousands of industries with computing power

Langfang is fully committed to building an integrated computing power transmission network between Beijing and Langfang. The one-way transmission delay is as low as 0.33 milliseconds, and the end-to-end response time of the data center is controlled within 1 millisecond. This has formed a collaborative development pattern of research and development in Beijing and computing power in Langfang, effectively connecting the information artery of computing power collaboration in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region and providing important support for the integrated construction of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei computing power network. The integrated computing power network platform in Hebei Province, led by Langfang City, is the first provincial-level computing power monitoring and scheduling platform officially launched and operated in China. It has been connected to the operation data of more than 100 data centers in the province and integrated with the national computing power network scheduling system, contributing the Langfang case to the construction of the national integrated computing power network. Langfang has introduced policies such as computing power coupons to promote the development of the artificial intelligence industry. It plans to add keyword coupons, data coupons, and model coupons on the basis of computing power coupons, forming a policy combination package of four coupons linkage. The plan is to establish a computing power industry fund with a target total scale of no less than 2 billion yuan, reducing the operating costs of enterprises from multiple dimensions such as computing power subsidies, factor guarantees, and financial empowerment, and continuously improving the attractiveness of industrial investment attraction. At present, 49 artificial intelligence models, including the Liye Langfang Human Resources Model and the Dayu Emergency Model, have been successfully implemented in multiple fields, effectively improving the efficiency of government services, the accuracy of urban governance, and the level of industrial development.

From data warehouses to intelligent computing hubs, from infrastructure to industrial ecosystems, Langfang is leveraging the infinite possibilities of the digital economy with computing power as its fulcrum. The landing of the 2026 China Computing Power Conference in Langfang is not only a full recognition of Langfang's industrial strength, but also an important support for Langfang to build a national computing power industry highland.
