領(lǐng)事館是一國駐在他國某個(gè)城市的領(lǐng)事代表機(jī)關(guān)的總稱，有總領(lǐng)事館、領(lǐng)事館、副領(lǐng)事館等，負(fù)責(zé)管理當(dāng)?shù)乇緡鴥S民和其它領(lǐng)事事務(wù)。改革開放以來，隨著中外經(jīng)貿(mào)合作、文化交流、高層互訪的增多，外國在中國設(shè)立使領(lǐng)館的步伐越來越快，很多國家在中國的很多大城市也設(shè)立了總領(lǐng)館、領(lǐng)事館、副領(lǐng)事館、代辦處等。為了更好地發(fā)揮這些使領(lǐng)館的作用，提升城市的國際化水平，樹立對外開放形象，一些城市還專門建立了使領(lǐng)館區(qū)，將原本分散的使領(lǐng)館集中設(shè)立。本期盤點(diǎn)了國內(nèi)主要省市建立的使領(lǐng)館區(qū)。

北京使館區(qū)

北京使館區(qū)是在北京的外國駐中國的大使館所在區(qū)域，又被稱為“第二國境線”，曾位于中國北京城前門外的東交民巷，現(xiàn)分別位于建國門外及三里屯地區(qū)。

東交民巷原名東江米巷，是老北京城米的集散地。1901年清朝政府的《北京各國使館界址四至》和《辛丑和約》中，此巷劃成為中國第一個(gè)“使館區(qū)”。

1949年之后，新使館區(qū)漸漸形成于北京建國門外和朝陽門外，它們分別稱為“北京第一使館區(qū)”和“北京第二使館區(qū)”。

第一使館區(qū)主要是一些親社會(huì)主義的國家使館。主要為中華人民共和國建國后，較早承認(rèn)新中國并建立外交關(guān)系的國家在中國設(shè)立的使領(lǐng)館。

第二使館區(qū)又稱為北使館區(qū)，由周恩來制定區(qū)域并建設(shè)于1960年代初期，西方發(fā)達(dá)國家使館云集此處，環(huán)境幽靜。

1980年，北京規(guī)劃設(shè)計(jì)研究院按上級(jí)指示將亮馬河下游過三環(huán)路的區(qū)域規(guī)劃成“北京第三使館區(qū)”。不過直到最近兩年，才開始有國家在此建設(shè)駐華使館。部分國家如美國、韓國等于近年將大使館遷入本區(qū)。

上海領(lǐng)事館區(qū)

上海領(lǐng)事館區(qū)位于淮海中路，區(qū)內(nèi)除已建成并投入使用的日本領(lǐng)館和澳大利亞領(lǐng)館官員公寓外，美國、韓國、新加坡、巴基斯坦以及荷蘭、印度、古巴、以色列、羅馬尼亞、丹麥、瑞士、阿根廷等國駐滬總領(lǐng)事館的館址均設(shè)立在此區(qū)域范圍內(nèi)。

上海領(lǐng)事館有如城市的文脈，美國領(lǐng)事館院子氣派，日本領(lǐng)事館充滿神秘色彩……領(lǐng)事館旁的道路有歷史感，人氣、商氣足，是商人眼中的黃金地段，旁邊有很多酒吧、餐廳和小店，區(qū)域里商業(yè)氣氛濃厚。

成都領(lǐng)事館區(qū)

成都領(lǐng)事館區(qū)位于成都市南延線旁的中和鎮(zhèn)，面積約為237畝，規(guī)劃容納20個(gè)領(lǐng)事館，它將把分散在成都各處的9家領(lǐng)事機(jī)構(gòu)搬到該區(qū)域。成都領(lǐng)事館區(qū)主要由館舍、官邸和配套設(shè)施等部分組成，根據(jù)各領(lǐng)事館的需要，將采取特色各異的修建方式，并為今后來川的領(lǐng)事機(jī)構(gòu)留出館區(qū)位置。成都領(lǐng)事館區(qū)的建設(shè)主旨在于：專門設(shè)立領(lǐng)事館區(qū)，為領(lǐng)事館提供更完善的服務(wù)和更舒適的環(huán)境，有利于吸引更多國家在蓉設(shè)領(lǐng)事館，提升成都的國際化水平。領(lǐng)事館區(qū)將成為四川對外開放的一張名片。

沈陽領(lǐng)事館區(qū)

去年10月，沈陽市計(jì)劃修新的領(lǐng)事館區(qū)，落址前競賽村，叫藍(lán)海國際社區(qū)綜合開發(fā)項(xiàng)目，規(guī)劃包括能夠滿足20-30個(gè)領(lǐng)館建筑的60公頃土地作為沈陽新的領(lǐng)館區(qū)核心區(qū)，并在周邊2-3平方公里規(guī)劃配套區(qū)，其中包括外國人居住區(qū)、藍(lán)海學(xué)校、國際醫(yī)院、商務(wù)文化區(qū)、酒吧街等。目前，新領(lǐng)事館區(qū)已經(jīng)省、市政府等相關(guān)部門批準(zhǔn)，規(guī)劃方案已經(jīng)市規(guī)委會(huì)審定。

廣州領(lǐng)事館區(qū)

廣州市后來又在南沙規(guī)劃了廣東省規(guī)模最大的領(lǐng)館區(qū)，占地面積約150公頃，預(yù)計(jì)容納40-50個(gè)外國使領(lǐng)館。

武漢領(lǐng)事館區(qū)

2006年，武漢市就提出規(guī)劃建設(shè)專門的“外國領(lǐng)館區(qū)”，并進(jìn)行了規(guī)劃設(shè)計(jì)。武漢市外僑辦有關(guān)負(fù)責(zé)人表示，由于之前時(shí)機(jī)不太成熟，因而“外國領(lǐng)館區(qū)”一直未開建。隨著在漢設(shè)立總領(lǐng)事館的國家越來越多，今年，湖北、武漢已將建設(shè)“外國領(lǐng)館區(qū)”列入議事日程。

今年，在武漢市舉行的“兩會(huì)”上，武漢市長唐良智稱武漢市已完成領(lǐng)事館區(qū)規(guī)劃工作，今年將啟動(dòng)領(lǐng)事館區(qū)建設(shè)。武漢外國領(lǐng)事館區(qū)選址漢陽墨水湖南岸，緊鄰江城大道。目前，法國、美國、德國和香港、臺(tái)灣等50個(gè)國家和地區(qū)在武漢都有投資項(xiàng)目，但武漢的領(lǐng)事館數(shù)量目前僅為3個(gè)，武漢建設(shè)領(lǐng)事館區(qū)將吸引和爭取更多國家來漢設(shè)立領(lǐng)事館。
