Zhenjiang is actually a very good city with mountains, rivers and rich natural resources. I am a neighbor of Zhenjiang and a native of Changzhou. I had only been to Zhenjiang when I was a kid, and rarely went there after I started working. In my impression, Zhenjiang is a very embarrassing city. The population is small and the city is small. Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is more like a city in northern Jiangsu in the eyes of Su, Wuchang and Changzhou because of its accent. There seems to be nothing to attract attention except vinegar and pot noodles. What greatly changed my impression was the wedding of a colleague a few years ago. Because the bride was from Zhenjiang, the wedding was held in Zhenjiang. After my visit, my impression of Zhenjiang suddenly reached a new level. In the past, Zhenjiang’s roads and greening were poor. Urban construction was haphazard and lacked planning. But that time I discovered that the scenic belt along the Yangtze River in Zhenjiang was very beautiful. The green trees in the Jiaoshan area were eye-catching, and the whole city became very beautiful. I have been to Zhenjiang several times since then, and even recently bought a suite in Zhenjiang. Standing upstairs, you can directly see the beautiful Nanshan Mountain, which is quite eye-catching. Let’s talk about Zhenjiang’s advantages: 1. Compared with Changzhou, Zhenjiang has too many natural resources. The city is built along the river. Whether it is Jinshan, Beigu Mountain or Jiaoshan, they are all very close to the city center. They are surrounded by mountains and rivers. As long as they are developed properly, they will definitely be the most beautiful cities in Jiangnan (provided there is sufficient financial investment). There is also Nanshan in the south of the city, and the city government has been relocated there, which is also a big deal. It's a pity that I live in Changzhou, and there are chemical industrial parks along the river. There are no mountains or rivers in the urban area. It's just a flat area, which is too boring. 2. The air in Zhenjiang is indeed better, the consumption is not high, and there is plenty to eat. It is very suitable for retirement. Although Xijin Ferry is a bit fake, it is also the place where I take my friends most often. Although Nanshan Scenic Area does not have much characteristics, it is better because it is close to the city. As for other traditional attractions, most people in Zhenjiang probably won’t go back. 3. Dashikou in the city center now has a bit of a big city feel. This is mainly due to Suning Plaza and Yaohan. 4. The integration of Ningzhenyang can be expected. It is only a matter of time before the light rail is built into Zhenjiang City. Jurong is already within Nanjing's sphere of influence. As for the specific integration, it depends on the planning and courage of the provincial government. The shortcomings are also obvious: 1. The city is small and has insufficient development potential. The industrial foundation is poor and there are few large enterprises. Although the Dantu New District has been established, according to my inspection, it is still in the state of a ghost town. However, the aviation industrial park recently established seems to be of a certain scale, and I don’t know if it can be regarded as a breakthrough in the future. 2. The geographical location is awkward and the positioning is unclear. Land in Nanjing is already very tight. It is impossible for the provincial government to cross provinces to acquire land in Chuzhou for development. It can only consider land in Zhenjiang to the east. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, but due to its small area, Zhenjiang’s urban identity is likely to be weakened in the process of development. Look at Hefei cutting off a large piece of Chaohu City and swallowing it up. I wonder if Nanjing will take action from this. Of course, if you want to speculate in real estate, this may not be a disadvantage. 3. The planning of the old city is still not good, with high-end communities and bungalows all together. Old dilapidated houses cannot be demolished, but they will seriously affect urban development. The best example is near Ruyi Jiangnan Community, which is about ten minutes' walk north of Dashikou. The design and environment of Ruyi Jiangnan are first-class (excluding the relocation community). There is also a Crown 5-star hotel next to it, and the Yangtze River is not far away. But if you stand upstairs and look down, you will see the low and old bungalows all around, which is very uncoordinated. Relatively speaking, Beiguwan Community is much better. Overall, Zhenjiang is still a very good city. For work, it's a bit different, but for leisure and life, it should be considered the first place on the Shanghai-Nanjing Line. I am now in charge of Danyang, a county-level city in Zhenjiang. The people here are very kind, and their lives are better than mine...based on the income of each household, it is the same as ours in Northern Jiangsu! almost. Live among them! You will find the difference! They are happier than us! Go out once or twice a year for those over fifty! There are many, not without them in our hometown! rare. The income still can’t keep up! The town I live in now is engaged in grain and oil processing, clothing, foreign trade, chemical industry and hardware. Lord! The environment is polluted a bit! The town government is also working hard to improve! Get used to it! What does that place sell? Where to buy what! The electric car starts. Very convenient! Naturally, I haven’t even been here since I went home. This can be considered my second hometown! Want to buy a house! Too expensive to afford! Farmers’ income is very limited! When I applied for Jiangsu University in the college entrance examination, I thought I could go to Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, but ended up going to Zhenjiang out of nowhere (just a joke), and it was because of this that I became inseparable from Zhenjiang. I describe Zhenjiang in my mind from the following aspects. Economy: In 2017, Zhenjiang had a permanent population of 3.19 million and an annual GDP of 410 billion yuan. It ranked 51st among the national cities. It is the only non-resource city with a population of less than 4 million among the top 55 national GDP rankings (Dongying and Ordos are resource-based cities). , showing the high per capita income. The year the author entered school, Zhenjiang's GDP was higher than that of Hefei, which has a population of 9 million. But there are many rumors in the market that Suzhou and Wuxi are too strong. History: Zhenjiang has an extremely long history. It was called Runzhou in ancient times. Since the Three Kingdoms period, it has a history of more than 1,800 years of city construction. Wang Anshi's poem "Nostalgia for the Past at Guting in the North of Jingkou": Between Guazhou in Jingkou and the water, Zhongshan Mountain is only separated by several mountains.

The spring breeze turns green again on the south bank of the river. When will the bright moon shine on me again? Zhenjiang is famous all over the world; how much history and vicissitudes has Zhenjiang gained from Xin Qiji's "Nostalgia for the Past in Beigu Pavilion, Jingkou"? Zhenjiang was still the capital of Jiangsu Province during the Republic of China, so universities such as Jiangsu University and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology were located here. Scenery: Zhenjiang is known as "the best river in the world". It strangles the throat of the Yangtze River and is located on the golden waterway of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River. The city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the water covers Jinshan Mountain, Beigu Mountain, Nanshan Mountain, Maoshan Mountain and Jiaoshan Mountain in the Yangtze River. It is even more beautiful. Zhenjiang is an open port under the Treaty of Tianjin. Xijin Gudu Street has witnessed the vicissitudes of the Chinese nation in modern times. Britain even set up a consulate here. Livable: Although Zhenjiang is a small city, it is indeed a very unique and charming town. The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the pace of life is slow. Every morning, eat a bowl of delicious pot noodles, smell the intoxicating aroma of Hengshun vinegar, and stroll along Binjiang Avenue, and you will forget the hustle and bustle. When you are tired of the pressure and competition in modern society, you might as well come to Zhenjiang for a walk and have a rest. It feels a bit sad. After reading a post-tour review I wrote before, you will understand why Zhenjiang was not selected as a World Heritage City on the Grand Canal. How sad! ! There is a sad feeling - traveling to Jindu and Yuntai Mountain in Jiangxi. After the tour, where are the poetic and picturesque feelings of romanticism expressed by the ancients? There are high-rise buildings near Xijindu and Yuntai Mountain. The nearest place is estimated to be only a few hundred meters high. It is called: a combination of low-rise buildings and modern high-rise buildings. It is estimated that from Jinshan Jiaoshan to Beigushan, Looking over, I feel the same way. Zhenjiang, a famous historical and cultural city, is surrounded by high-rise buildings. The beautiful scenery is ruined! Is this interesting? Wang Anshi Jingkou Guazhou is separated by water, and Zhongshan is only separated by several mountains. The spring breeze is green again on the south bank of the river. When will the bright moon shine on me again? Zhang Chengji's poem Jinlingjin Crossing the small mountain tower, travelers can feel sad after spending a night there. In the setting moon of the night river when the tide is falling, two stars and three stars are like Guazhou. Sharing the current housing prices in Zhenjiang, the "Vinegar City" Jinshan Temple Zhenjiang, a prefecture-level city in Jiangsu Province, was known as "Runzhou" in ancient times. It has famous institutions of higher learning such as Jiangsu University and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. The Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal intersect here, and it is known as "the best river in the world". The people of Zhenjiang are prosperous. In 2017, the Comprehensive Well-off Index of China's prefecture-level cities ranked 18th. In 2017, Zhenjiang's per capita GDP was 129,047 yuan. The high income of residents is due to Zhenjiang's developed industry. It has the world's major anchor chain production base, the world's largest single-factory high-end coated paper production base, and China's largest automobile engine block and acetic acid production base. The highly developed industrial economy and convenient transportation are inseparable. From Zhenjiang South Station of the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, it takes at least four hours to reach Beijing, 58 minutes to Shanghai, and 20 minutes to Nanjing. The convenience of transportation is also reflected in aviation. There are 4 airports around Zhenjiang, Nanjing Lukou International Airport, Zhenjiang Airport (non-civilian), Wuxi Sunan Shuofang International Airport and Changzhou Benniu Airport. In such a wealthy city located at the crossroads of a golden waterway and with convenient transportation, what are the housing prices? The data comes from an intermediary website. As can be seen in the picture above, the house price in Zhenjiang in August was around 10,000 yuan. Whether it is a new house or a second-hand house, new houses are more expensive. Among different urban areas, Runzhou District and Jurong City have the highest average prices, both at 10,000 yuan. Among all the blocks in Runzhou District, the Huangshan South Road block in the picture above is the most expensive, with an average price of 13,000. Finally, I would like to add that the picture of Jinshan Temple at the beginning of the article is exactly the Jinshan Temple in the flooded Jinshan Mountain in "The Legend of White Snake". Liang Hongyu played drums and fought against Jinshan Mountain, and Su Dongpo danced while admiring the moon at Miao Gao Terrace. Zhenjiang is rich in tourism resources, and the famous snack crab roe soup dumplings are Zhenjiang's characteristics. How can you eat steamed buns without dipping them in vinegar? Zhenjiang is also known as the "Vinegar City" and the headquarters of a well-known listed vinegar company is located here. Do you think the house prices in Vinegar City in southern Jiangsu are expensive? Zhenjiang is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River. From Nanjing, it can be reached by train in half an hour. From Yangzhou, Zhenjiang can be reached by boat in a few minutes. Compared with Yangzhou and Nanjing, two more famous cities in history, Zhenjiang seems a bit unknown. Before I went to Zhenjiang, my only impression of Zhenjiang was vinegar. It was a city famous for its vinegar. This city gives me the impression that it is small. Yes, my friends in Zhenjiang said that Zhenjiang is the smallest city in Jiangsu. But small things have small advantages. Zhenjiang’s urban area has very concentrated attractions. Jinshan Temple, Jiaoshan Mountain, Beigu Mountain and Xijin Ferry are all on the same line, concentrated in the north of Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang gives me the impression that it is not particularly developed yet. The old neighborhoods are still old and the new city is still under construction. It feels very deserted. Personally, I prefer the humanistic flavor of Zhenjiang. Because it is close to the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Zhenjiang also has its unique historical flavor. I believe everyone has read the Legend of the White Snake. The Jinshan Temple mentioned in it is located in Zhenjiang. It was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was built based on the mountain temple. There is a temple in the mountain, and there is a mountain in the temple.

There are many relics from the Three Kingdoms period left in Beigu Mountain. It was here that Sun Quan wrote about the world's greatest empire, and it was here that Zhang Fei wrote a plaque for Ganlu Temple. My favorite is Xijin Ferry, which is a thousand-year-old ferry. Due to the northward movement of the water level of the Yangtze River, Xijin Ferry has now become a literary and artistic neighborhood, with stone streets, red lanterns, several bars and cafes, and antiques from other places. The streets are the same, but Xijin Ferry has its own cultural heritage. I like to walk on the stone road of Xijin Ferry and see the cultural monuments here. I have seen its winters and its summers. Zhenjiang gives me a very warm feeling. It is very suitable for life. It is suitable for walking around and taking pictures with a camera. It is suitable for sitting in the bar of Xijindu at night drinking and chatting. It is suitable for hanging out in Zhenjiang. Sitting in Beigu Mountain Park in a daze. I think I will go to this warm city again. The title picture was taken at home. Looking at the center of Zhenjiang from the direction of Jiaoshan, the tallest building is Suning Plaza, which is under construction. The background is the ten-mile long mountain, and the Yangtze River is the missing corner of the water on the right. I'm from Xuzhou, my hometown. Because my girlfriend in college is from Zhenjiang, I came here 15 years ago. To be honest, Zhenjiang is an inconspicuous small city. Before I met my girlfriend, I was very unfamiliar with this place and had no idea where it was, let alone its history, culture, and specialties. This is not just my feeling - one time I was taking a train from Shanghai back to Zhenjiang. A very talkative young man from the north chatted with my colleague and said that he was a salesman who traveled around and was very familiar with the Shanghai-Nanjing Line. The cities along the line were Shanghai~Suzhou~Wuxi~Changzhou~Yangzhou~Nanjing, we were speechless. The young man was surprised: I had never heard of Zhenjiang! Isn’t Yangzhou Jiangnan? In fact, Zhenjiang is in the south of the Yangtze River, across the river from Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, between Changzhou and Nanjing. This is the embarrassment of Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang is geographically located in southern Jiangsu, but its area and population are at the bottom of Jiangsu Province. In recent years, in the context of the great development of northern Jiangsu, various rankings such as total GDP have been declining. Among the 13 prefecture-level cities, she is usually ranked 9th to 10th. Therefore, cities in southern Jiangsu did not want to see her, and some cities in northern Jiangsu also began to despise her. As a Zhenjiang person, I am also very anxious. Enthusiastic citizens in Zhenjiang have been wondering: Why is Zhenjiang lagging behind? How can we rise again? Successive city leadership groups have also focused on this goal and continued to work hard to catch up with their brothers. For example, there was a slogan in the past few years-the total amount exceeds Yangzhou, and the per capita exceeds Changzhou. This slogan has not been mentioned much in recent years. It is indeed unrealistic to compare the economic aggregate of Zhenjiang with a population of 2.7 million and Yangzhou with a population of 4.6 million. However, in terms of various per capita values, Zhenjiang is still worthy of its status as a city in southern Jiangsu. I won’t talk about specific numbers, but in terms of happiness index, I think Zhenjiang should be very high. Let’s talk about housing prices first. Housing prices in Zhenjiang have soared this year. The average price in the urban area is only more than 8,000 yuan. In the past few years, housing prices even exceeded 5,000 yuan. It is still cheaper than many cities in northern Jiangsu. Let’s talk about transportation. Because there are stations on the Shanghai-Nanjing Line, the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway and the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, it takes more than 20 minutes to get to Nanjing, more than an hour to Shanghai, and 4 hours to Beijing, which is very convenient. As for transportation within the city, compared with cities like Nanjing, we have almost no traffic jams. Talk about shopping. Wanda Plaza, Suning Plaza, Wuyue Plaza, Powerlong Plaza, Yaohan...Wal-Mart, Auchan, RT-Mart, Yonghui, Background Hualian, China Resources Suguo Supermarket...shopping is basically no problem. If you really can’t buy it, it’s very convenient to go to Nanjing and Shanghai. Let’s talk about education. Let’s talk directly about universities. Let’s talk directly about Zhenjiang city. There are Jiangsu University and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology. Although they are not 985 or 211, they are acceptable in the national rankings. There is also the Zhenjiang campus of the People’s Liberation Army Army Transportation College. I heard that it will start in the local area next year. Enrollment is open. Others include Zhenjiang Vocational College, Jiangsu Transportation Technician College, Jiangsu Aviation Vocational and Technical College, etc., which I won’t mention. Talk about scenery and history. The scenery of Zhenjiang is centered on Jinshan, Jiaoshan, and Nanshan, and integrates Beigu Mountain, Xijindu, and Dajiang features. Although it is not a magnificent mountain, it is all in the city, around you and me, like a large bonsai, so it is known as The scenery of "Urban Forest" is extremely attractive. But this is not the point. The point is that the scenery is closely integrated with history and culture. For example, Liu Bei married at Ganlu Temple in Beigu Mountain. Xin Qiji also recited "Where can I see China? Beigu Tower is full of scenery." In the reed tent at the foot of the mountain, Jin Wushu was broken, and her wife Liang Hongyu beat drums at the nearby Jinshan Mountain to cheer; Yue Fei's master, the veteran Zongze, was finally buried at the foot of Jingyan Mountain in Zhenjiang, and earlier the famous calligrapher and painter Mi Fu created it here Inspired by Mi's Yunshan painting method, Su Dongpo often came to Jinshan Temple to drink tea and amuse himself with the Buddhist seals. The founder of Jinshan Temple was the great monk Fahai. Xu Xian opened a medicine shop and security hall nearby. This is where the White Snake drowned. A golden mountain... Finally, let's eat. Zhenjiang cuisine belongs to the Huaiyang cuisine, which is exquisite and delicious. Compared with Suzhou and Wuxi, the dishes rarely add sugar, which is the habit of most people. In short, Zhenjiang is a small, exquisite, beautiful, convenient and happy place. It may not be a good place to build a career, but it's really a good place to live. "Between Jingkou and Guazhou, there are only a few mountains between Zhongshan and Jingkou." This poem is enough to explain what kind of city Zhenjiang is.

Zhenjiang's GDP of more than 400 billion would be considered an important city if compared to other provinces. However, as a member of the Yangtze River Delta cities, Zhenjiang's status is actually a bit embarrassing. On the one hand, its per capita GDP ranks among the top 15 cities in the country; on the other hand, it ranks among the top 15 cities in the country. On the other hand, it is the smallest city with the smallest population in Jiangsu. With the acceleration of the Nanjing metropolitan area and Jiangsu Province's need to improve Nanjing's position as the provincial capital, there have been constant rumors about the abolition of Zhenjiang as a prefecture-level city. Considering that Jinan's merger with Laiwu has basically been confirmed, the idea of ??Nanjing's merger with Zhenjiang does not seem to be groundless. . Putting aside the economic aspects of Zhenjiang, Zhenjiang is a tourist destination worth visiting. Zhenjiang, located at the intersection of the Golden Cross Waterway, the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is a famous historical, cultural and excellent tourist city in China. There are few Chinese who don't know "The Legend of the White Snake". The Jinshan Temple where the White Snake was imprisoned is located in Zhenjiang. Anyone who has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that Liu Bei's Ganlu Temple is located in Beigu Mountain in Zhenjiang. The Sanshan Scenic Area in Zhenjiang is a 5A-level scenic spot. Zhenjiang’s food is famous for its three major quirks: “balsamic vinegar is always on display, meat is not a dish, and noodle pots are boiled with lids.” The characteristics are very obvious. Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is one of the four famous vinegars in China. I have relatives and friends living in Zhenjiang, and I often go to their homes to stay for a while. Let me share my feelings about the city of Zhenjiang! I recently went to Zhenjiang and it felt very good. The city's expressways are connected and it's a pleasure to drive! When I went there a few years ago, I guess there was road construction going on, so it was a mess and it felt like a complete mess. This visit left a very good impression on me! Zhenjiang is a famous cultural city with a long history. It was once the capital of Jiangsu Province. In southern Jiangsu, only Suzhou and Nanjing can compare with it. Zhenjiang was also very big before. Wujin, Yixing, Jintan, Liyang, Lishui, and Gaochun all belonged to Zhenjiang. Later, it was divided into administrative regions. At that time, Zhenjiang was forced to become smaller, but the per capita value of Zhenjiang was among the best in Jiangsu! Because I often go to Zhenjiang, I have a lot of affection for Zhenjiang. I used to take trains in Zhenjiang when traveling to various parts of the country. Zhenjiang is as small and exquisite as Yangzhou, and very suitable for people to live. Zhenjiang's geographical location and topographic conditions are among the best in the country. It is a typical landscape city, with mountains, water and plains distributed in a perfect golden section. But I have to say that Zhenjiang’s failure lies in the indecision in planning and urban positioning, moving east and west, which has completely fragmented the current Zhenjiang and failed to form a new urban core area. This affects the attractiveness of the main urban area to surrounding areas. I really like Zhenjiang. I have an indescribable fondness for it. Maybe it’s because I like the kind of city with mountains and rivers built on the mountains and rivers. Zhenjiang is mentioned in many poems and allusions. It has a profound cultural heritage. This is one of the reasons why I like her! Zhenjiang, known as "Runzhou" and "Jingkou" in ancient times, is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province. It has a long history and beautiful environment. From a historical perspective, Zhenjiang can be divided into four periods: the ferry era: Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Six Dynasties; the canal era: Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties; the Yangtze River era: the late 19th century; and the railway era: since the 20th century. Each of these four eras has its own development characteristics. From a location perspective, Zhenjiang is located in the southern part of Jiangsu, in the Yangtze River Delta region, with an advantageous geographical location. It has convenient water and air transportation. It is located at the crossroads of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is an important railway hub and is not far from Nanjing Lukou International Airport and Changzhou Benniu Airport. From the resource point of view, Zhenjiang is rich in tourism resources. The three mountains located in the north of the city - Beigu Mountain, Jiaoshan Mountain, and Jinshan Mountain - stand along the river. The situation is dangerous and many monuments and temples have been left behind. The two national forest parks, Nanshan Scenic Area and Baohua Mountain Nature Reserve, have beautiful scenery. In addition, there are rich historical, cultural and tourism resources to visit, attracting a large number of tourists.
