Yinzhou upgrades drone racing venue to boost low-altitude economy
Yinzhou signed off a 9.5 million yuan overhaul of Xianxiang Aviation Flight Camp, adding a pro drone racing venue built for competition, training, and spectators.
Yinzhou has finished a 9.5 million yuan overhaul at China Xianxiang Aviation Flight Camp, and the renovated professional drone racing venue is now built to do more than host showpiece laps. The project passed final acceptance on June 22, 2026, giving Yinzhou a permanent racing site tied directly to its push to build a low-altitude economy.
Along Xiaheng Road and around the camp, crews upgraded roadside landscapes, added greening, signage systems, public amenities and parking lots, and reorganized the site around the racing area. The changes were designed to support flight activities, professional competitions and sightseeing. Yinzhou also folded in facade work on rural homes, road maintenance, murals, wire cleanup and 36,000 square meters of beach cleanup around Xianxiang Town.
A dedicated course with better site flow, cleaner sightlines and upgraded support facilities can handle training and event operations at a higher level than a pop-up track. Yinzhou’s transportation bureau placed the package within its livelihood-and-industry support work for low-altitude-economy planning, infrastructure improvement and coastal-village revitalization.
Yinzhou launched the 2026 Drone Racing World Cup, Yinzhou Station, on May 28, 2026, and companion events included youth drone science experiences, the Ningbo Consumer Expo and a low-altitude sports and drone industry exchange conference. On May 29, visitors were already inspecting the second-phase renovation at China Xianxiang Aviation Flight Camp, which was being positioned as a key supporting venue for the World Cup and a base for low-altitude flight experiences and professional drone training.
Yinzhou was selected as Zhejiang Province’s only pilot zone in the first batch of low-altitude-economy first-flight area trials, and it has expanded that system with more than 130 low-altitude sensing and monitoring devices, a 347-station weather network and an X-band phased-array radar. Yinzhou is aiming for a citywide low-altitude economy industry scale above 10 billion yuan by 2027.
