1. Zhanjiang has an excellent geographical position and is the center of "Guangdong, Qionggui":

First, let's take a look at the geographical advantages of Zhanjiang. Although Zhanjiang is located in the westernmost part of Guangdong Province, it is the westernmost city in western Guangdong. However, the westernmost part of Zhanjiang City is the best, which is next to Guangxi Zhuang and Hainan Province. Geographically, Zhanjiang City in Guangdong is located in the center of "Guangdong, Qionggui". It can be said that Zhanjiang has a unique geographical position, and even Maoming, which has always claimed to be the central city of western Guangdong, is incomparable.

what's more, Zhanjiang is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and its maritime advantages are unique in the whole country. Zhanjiang City is bounded by the South China Sea to the east and south, Beibu Gulf to the west, and Hainan Island across Qiongzhou Strait in the middle. Zhanjiang's port industry is developed, and its annual port import and export volume ranks in the forefront of Guangdong Province. Moreover, Zhanjiang is rich in marine resources, and the development of marine industry makes Maoming, which is also a coastal city, far behind.

2. Zhanjiang is one of the three sub-central cities in Guangdong:

Before, Zhanjiang and Maoming, both in western Guangdong, had been arguing over who was the real "central city in western Guangdong", but now they have finally reached a conclusion. As early as 2118, the Guangdong provincial government has officially released the medium-term plan of the Comprehensive Development Plan for the Coastal Economic Belt of Guangdong Province (2117-2131), and explicitly identified Shantou, Zhanjiang and Zhuhai as sub-central cities in Guangdong Province.

Zhanjiang can be positioned by Guangdong Province as one of the three sub-central cities in Guangdong Province, which is naturally full of prospects. To know the name of this "provincial sub-central city", I wonder how many big cities in Guangdong dream of it? For example, Foshan and Dongguan, new first-tier cities, dream of being sub-central cities in this province. Therefore, Zhanjiang, which is listed as one of the three sub-central cities in Guangdong, has a bright future.

III. The establishment of a free trade port in Hainan ushered in an opportunity for development in Zhanjiang:

In October p>2121, the Opinions of the Supreme People's Court on People's Courts Providing Judicial Services and Guarantees for the Construction of a Free Trade Port in Hainan was promulgated and implemented. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration of The People's Republic of China jointly issued the Catalogue of Encouraged Industries in Hainan Free Trade Port (2121 edition). Since then, Hainan Free Trade Port has been officially built. Zhanjiang City, which is just separated from Hainan Free Trade Port by water, has also ushered in an opportunity for development.

In fact, it is indeed the case. On March 29th, 2121, Guangdong Province issued the Opinions of Guangdong Provincial People's Government on Supporting Zhanjiang to Accelerate the Construction of a Sub-central City in the Province and Build an Important Development Pole of the Modern Coastal Economic Belt. The focus of the opinion is how Zhanjiang will catch the ride of Hainan Free Trade Port in the future: Guangdong will promote Zhanjiang's deep docking with Hainan Free Trade Port. Strengthen the linkage and integration development with Hainan Free Trade Port, deepen the strategic cooperation between Zhanjiang Port and Hainan Port, and accelerate the integration of port and navigation in Qiongzhou Strait.

IV. Zhanjiang City has "the right time, the right place and the right people":

From the perspective of "the right time", Hainan has set up a free trade port, and Guangdong Province has specially tailored and issued the Opinions of Guangdong Provincial People's Government on Supporting Zhanjiang to Accelerate the Construction of a Provincial Sub-central City and Build an Important Development Pole of a Modern Coastal Economic Belt; From the perspective of "geographical location", Zhanjiang City is already the center of "Guangdong, Qionggui"; From the perspective of "harmony between people", Zhanjiang City is already one of the three sub-central cities in Guangdong Province.

It can be said that Zhanjiang has the right time, the right place and the right people. There are so many prefecture-level cities under the jurisdiction of Guangdong, and the conditions are not so superior as Zhanjiang. It can be said that Zhanjiang has great potential for future development and unlimited future. However, if Zhanjiang city still can't develop under such favorable conditions, it will really be a bucket that can't be helped!
