In the late 20^th century, the conception of logistics was introduced into China. The experiences of the developed countries illustrate that comprehensive logistical center, which has powerful functions of collecting and distributing goods, plays a tremendous role in a regional economical development because of its covering a large commercial scope and its multifunction. However, with different backgrounds, different regions can take its economical future at stake if they just mechanically copy the experiences or economical models of other country or region.
