Brazil Manaus is located in the north-central part of Brazil...
It is truly an isolated island city because transportation here is a complete mess.
Unless you take a plane or a boat, traveling from Manaus to any surrounding city requires being prepared to be stuck on the road for a week or even longer.
However, surprisingly, Manaus is one of Brazil's most densely industrialized regions.
Because in the past, Brazilians set up a bonded area in Manaus to develop the central region, providing substantial policy incentives to foreign investors, which attracted many globally renowned companies to invest here.
Siemens and Nokia came here to set up electronics factories under such a background, and developed the area into the center of Brazil's electronics industry.
Moreover, relying on the abundant mineral and petroleum resources around, the metallurgy and energy industries here are also doing fairly well.
