Bonded zones (BZs) and export processing zones (EPZs), as the important place-based policy in opening up strategy, reduce the trade costs of industrial firms via preferential tax policies and trade facilitation measures, and then attract industrial firms to settle in the park and surrounding area. We take above-scale industrial firms as research object. Based on the provincial panel data from 2000 to 2014, the panel data negative binomial regression method are applied to empirically test the impact of BZs and EPZs on industrial firm's location and its heterogeneity. It is found that, BZs and EPZs are attractive to industrial firm's location, and there is no obvious substitutes between these two, but the location disadvantage limited the positive impact of BZs on industrial firm's location. BZs and EPZs not only attract private industrial firms, and there is obvious substitutes between these two, but also promote the transfer of state-owned and foreign industrial firms from eastern to western. Based on the above study and the conclusion, we proposed targeted policy recommendations, the government should use Pilot Free Trade Zones (PFTZs) to integrate BZs and EPZs, and experiment institution innovation in PFTZs, create competitive-neutral investment environment, and diversify the ownership types of firms. The investment invitations for PFTZs in different regions should have its own emphasis, etc.
