The reason why Baiyin City in Gansu Province is called Baiyin City is really related to silver, but there are actually many mines here in Baiyin City in Gansu Province. Besides silver mines, there are also gold mines, iron mines, copper mines and so on. Of course, the largest storage is actually brass. Therefore, some people joked that if it is named according to the amount of deposits, it should be called? Brass market? . Of course, this statement is actually just a joke. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, a silver factory was set up here, and people have always called it? Silver? .

Baiyin City in Gansu Province is a typical resource-developing city. In fact, all resource-developing cities will have a common problem, that is, resources will be exhausted sooner or later in the future. In fact, a few years ago, some people listed the first batch of cities with exhausted resources in China, including Baiyin City in Gansu Province. Many people may be thinking, since the resources of Baiyin City in Gansu Province will be exhausted in the future, is there no need to exist, and surely Baiyin City will be in the future? Decline? Yes.

So some people have come up with an idea. Many people think that it is better to plan Baiyin City in Gansu directly to Lanzhou, the provincial capital. After all, the distance between Baiyin City and Lanzhou is not particularly far, and it can be directly regarded as a municipality directly under the central government of Lanzhou. Of course, this idea itself is not a big problem, but there are actually many procedures to be done about administrative planning, and it is also more troublesome to deal with. Of course, the local government naturally has local government considerations.

At present, Baiyin City in Gansu Province has a total area of 21,111 square kilometers, and there are three counties below, and there are also two directly administered areas. From a geographical point of view, Baiyin City is quite special, just like a reduced version of Gansu Province. Of course, the development of Baiyin city in recent years is actually quite good, but after all, there is no way to compare with Lanzhou, the provincial capital. In recent years, the government has also increased investment in this area, so it should be better and better in the future.
