I don't know how great the development potential of Yangzhou is. You can't even imagine the high housing prices, and the living consumption level is approaching the first-tier cities. There are not many foreign workers coming to work in Yang, but they have gradually increased in recent years. Yangzhou belongs to a city with a slow pace of life, and the urban greening is very good, which is suitable for long-term settlement. Yangzhou has great development potential in neighboring cities. Although it is not as good as Nanjing, it will surely surpass Zhenjiang. According to the development direction of Yangzhou government, it is prepared to make Yangzhou a tourist city, a park city and parks everywhere. Yangzhou was rated as one of the top ten livable cities in the world by the United Nations a few years ago. In recent years, many people from surrounding cities, especially Nanjing, have come to buy houses. Yangzhou traffic is now relatively developed, with high-speed rail and airport, making travel more convenient and faster. Yangzhou is an ancient historical and cultural city. As a famous tourist city, Yangzhou has a high reputation. What about the economic development of Yangzhou? Yangzhou's economic development has always been good. In the past, the total GDP ranked in the top four in Jiangsu Province, that is to say, it was in the first camp in Jiangsu. In 1996, Yangzhou was divided into two parts, and Taizhou, Taixing, Taixian, Jingjiang and Xinghua, which were under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, were separated from Yangzhou and established as a prefecture-level city. Since then, Yangzhou's economy has been in the middle reaches of Jiangsu, and its economic development has become the second camp of Jiangsu. Yangzhou's territory and population have been taken away by half. It is unrealistic and objective to want Yangzhou to remain the first camp of Jiangsu's economy. In recent years, Yangzhou's economic development is really not fast, and it is busy building parks all day, which distracts the energy of developing the economy. There is indeed something worth pondering. Yangzhou's economic development in recent years is general, which is related to the adjustment of industrial structure. It has closed a number of polluting enterprises and adjusted its economic development to emerging industries, such as photovoltaic electronics industry, communication and information industry and service industry. As a tourist city, Yangzhou is indeed remarkable, but the development of a city can not be separated from the economy, and Yangzhou still needs to make great efforts in economic development, otherwise, it will not be commensurate with the popularity of the famous city Yangzhou. The development of a city can't be separated from the leaders. The people of Yangzhou are looking forward to great economic development and leap forward. They hope that the leading group of Yangzhou will make great efforts and energy in economic development to develop Yangzhou's economy and satisfy the people of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is a well-known city. I hope that the people of Yangzhou will make full use of Yangzhou's popularity and vigorously develop Yangzhou's economy, so that Yangzhou is not only a famous tourist city, but also a strong city with economic development. On the whole, Yangzhou should be a city with potential. On whether a city has great development potential, I think it needs to be studied in depth from the fields of policy, transportation, geography, resources, talent concentration and science and education. The advantages of Yangzhou city include, but are not limited to, its geographical location in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, the policy of integrating Ning, Zhen and Yang, and the convenient comprehensive transportation environment. Yangzhou ranks 37th in Q2 218 National Urban GDP Ranking (1-1), and its overall strength is not bad as far as national cities are concerned. However, compared with the historical height of "promoting one and benefiting two", there is still a big gap. Even so, I am still full of hope for Yangzhou! The city has great development potential, and the top 35 national economy should be the sprint goal in the near and medium term. In the future, the social and economic development of Yangzhou should take the revival of its historical position as its own responsibility, increase investment attraction to build a regional central city, and introduce major projects to support Yangzhou's rise again. Focusing on the existing national and provincial policies, we will actively carry out major strategic layouts such as new urbanization and urban-rural integration. Personally, I think Yangzhou is a well-off city, and it can become a relatively rich place in the future. The income of Yangzhou people is in the middle level in the rich Jiangsu Province. However, when it comes to economic potential, I personally think Yangzhou is relatively average. Because if a place has great economic potential, it needs a good geographical location and a potential development area. Yangzhou used to be a vast area, but it was later divided. Liuhe was assigned to Nanjing. Before 1975, Liuhe was assigned to Yangzhou, and later it was assigned to Nanjing. Taizhou was divided. On August 12th, 1996, the administrative division of Yangzhou was readjusted, and "Yangtai was divided": the county-level Taizhou city was divided from Yangzhou to form a prefecture-level Taizhou city, with jurisdiction over Hailing District, Jingjiang City, Taixing City, Jiangyan City and xinghua city City. You can look at the map. Liuhe in Yangzhou has been zoned away, and there is no room for development to the west. Moreover, Liuhe is connected with Jiangbei New District in Nanjing, which is greatly affected by the radiation in Jiangnan area of Nanjing. After Yangzhou was set aside in Taizhou, it could not directly connect with the developed areas such as Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, so there was little room for development and maneuver. Here is blocked, there is no connection, and the development potential is greatly compressed. Yangzhou was very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, as evidenced by "Looking at Yangzhou at Night" by the poet Wang Jian of the Tang Dynasty: "There are thousands of lights shining in the night market, and there are many tea guests in high-rise buildings. Nowadays, it's not a normal day, and Youzi has a thorough knowledge of singing. More importantly, there is the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ku's "Traveling to Huainan" as evidence: "Shilichang Street is connected with the city, and the gods are seen on the Mingyue Bridge. Life is only close to Yangzhou's death, and Zen Zhishan is a good tomb. " It is a real "Huaizuo Mingdu", and there is a saying that "Yang Yi Yi Er", which shows the high status of Yangzhou in the country at that time. When it comes to Yangzhou, it reminds people of the story of Emperor Qianlong's six trips to the south of the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, Yangzhou's prosperity can be seen, and it also reminds people of Yangzhou's delicious food "Yangzhou fried rice" and "Wensi tofu", both of which are Qianlong's favorites. This shows that the title of Yangzhou, a famous historical and cultural city in China, is worthy of the name. What is the development of Yangzhou today? Is there great potential for future development? Let's take a look. First, let's look at the comprehensive strength of Yangzhou. Today, Yangzhou has a total land area of 6,591.21 square kilometers. By the end of 217, its permanent population was 4,58,2, and its GDP reached 56.492 billion yuan, up 8.% year-on-year. It ranked eighth among cities above the prefecture level in Jiangsu Province, 38th among 338 cities above the prefecture level in China, with a per capita GDP of 12,559 yuan, and ranked sixth among the top 1 cities in China in 217. It can be seen that Yangzhou's achievements are also very eye-catching. Second, look at the status and activity of Yangzhou. Yangzhou is one of the important cities in Changsan Urban Agglomeration, and has won the UN Habitat Award, the National Civilized City and the China Hot Spring City. It has successfully hosted the 217 World Sports Events and Tourism Summit, the World Geographical Indications Congress and the World Canal City Forum, and will host the 19th Jiangsu Sports Meeting in 218 and the 1th Jiangsu Horticultural Exposition, and will host the Yangzhou World Horticultural Exposition in 221. Third, look at the development foundation and resources of Yangzhou. There are 4 national development parks in Yangzhou, namely Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, Yangzhou (Gaoyou) National Agricultural Science and Technology Park, Yangzhou National High-tech Industrial Development Zone and Yangzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone. There are 3 provincial high-tech zones, namely Gaoyou High-tech Industrial Development Zone, gaoyou lake West New District (provincial high-tech zone) and Yangzhou Hangji High-tech Industrial Development Zone; There are 8 provincial economic development zones, namely Gaoyou Economic Development Zone, Gaoyou South Economic New Zone, Baoying Economic Development Zone, Yizheng Economic Development Zone, Guangling Economic Development Zone, Hanjiang Economic Development Zone, Jiangdu Economic Development Zone and Weiyang Economic Development Zone. There are also many provincial-level economic parks, and the planning and framework for large-scale development have been formed, laying a good foundation for future large-scale development. Yangzhou is rich in oil and gas resources, and there are 12 kinds of mineral resources with basically proven reserves, among which oil and natural gas reserves rank first in the province. Gaoyou, Hanjiang and Jiangdu are rich in oil and gas resources, known as the "water town oilfield", which provides strong resource support for its future development. Fourth, look at the industrial development and prospects of Yangzhou. In 217, 2693 industrial enterprises above designated size in Yangzhou completed a total output value of 937.11 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.9%. The output value of the five key industries totaled 627.42 billion yuan, up 13.4% year-on-year, including 33.72 billion yuan for machinery and equipment industry, 128.2 billion yuan for automobile industry, 15.87 billion yuan for petrochemical industry, 51.97 billion yuan for new energy and new light source industry and 21.2 billion yuan for shipbuilding industry. Yangzhou's strategic emerging industries are also developing very rapidly. In 217, the total industrial output value was 44.59 billion yuan, an increase of 16.5% over 216. Among them, six industries, including new materials, new light sources, high-end equipment manufacturing, smart grid, energy conservation and environmental protection, biotechnology and new medicine, achieved double-digit growth, with growth rates of 28.7%, 17.3%, 15.3% and 13.8% respectively. It can be seen that Yangzhou not only pays attention to the development of 1 billion industrial clusters, but also attaches great importance to the development of strategic emerging industries. The industrial transformation and upgrading have achieved good results, laying a long-term foundation for future development. Fifth, look at the cultural tourism in Yangzhou. Yangzhou, as a famous historical and cultural city, is rich in cultural tourism resources, especially its rich cultural heritage. We can not only appreciate the profoundness of Yangzhou culture from many poems in Tang and Song Dynasties, but also have 1 4A scenic spots such as the famous national 5A-level Slender West Lake scenic spot and Mengchengyi. In addition, roads, railways, aviation and water transportation are very convenient. In 217, it received 62,973,8 domestic and foreign tourists and realized a tourism income of 7,967,2 yuan. We believe that Yangzhou has great development potential in the future, and will reproduce its former style of "Yang Yi". Let's look forward to it! Economically speaking, Yangzhou economy belongs to the middle reaches in Jiangsu Province! According to the GDP in 217, Yangzhou ranks eighth in Jiangsu Province! Ranked 37th in the country! In terms of education, Yangzhou has no well-known key schools such as 211,985. In terms of political status, Yangzhou is just an ordinary prefecture-level city, and Jiangsu Province has only one Nanjing sub-provincial! Yangzhou's political status is not much different from other brother cities! However, Jiangsu province is divided into southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, and the distribution of resources is also different. Southern Jiangsu occupies more resources and attention in the province! Subei is different, and it has always been less valued! The southern part of Jiangsu includes Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou. Traditionally, northern Jiangsu refers to five prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province, namely Yangzhou, Taizhou, Yancheng, Huai 'an and Nantong. According to the current administrative divisions in Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu includes five provincial cities, namely Xuzhou, Lianyungang, Suqian, Huai 'an and Yancheng. Southern Jiangsu: Nanjing Zhenjiang Changzhou Wuxi Suzhou. Su Zhong: Yangzhou Taizhou Nantong! But neither Su Zhong nor Su Bei has received much attention in Jiangsu Province! In particular, Yangzhou itself is not the best economy in cities in central Jiangsu or northern Jiangsu! So to sum up, Yangzhou is a good city, and the house price is not high, but it is still relatively livable! However, in terms of development potential, there are too many competitors ahead, and Jiangsu Province is a big economic province. If Yangzhou ranks second in Anhui Province, it should be strongly supported. However, one brother city in Jiangsu Province is stronger than the other, which leads to its status. However, there are some benefits of not being concerned, that is, the house price is not too high and the per capita living standard will be better! Although Yangzhou is located in the north of the Yangtze River, it is a smoke rain town that most conforms to the image of the south of the Yangtze River. Speaking of Yangzhou's development potential, I don't think it should be evaluated by modern industry or the scale of urban concrete. The development potential of Yangzhou, I think only the charm of the city can be used as an evaluation standard, and it should retain its inherent charm. Yangzhou is a beautiful city. The city in the old street is like a garden built in a water town. It is both prosperous and fresh and hazy. Judging from its livability, its future potential is enormous. There is little economic potential, but great cultural potential, but it needs deep development. Yangzhou is well-known in Japan and South Korea, and there is also Yangzhou City in South Korea. Cui Zhiyuan, the originator of Korean literature, studied in Yangzhou and later worked in the Yangzhou Provincial Government. Kyoto, Japan, was deeply influenced by Yangzhou, such as the Tang Zhaoti Temple, which was directly copied to Yangzhou. Japanese and Korean intellectuals come to Yangzhou with respect, which is an important source of their cultural blood. Yangzhou has had many foreign exchanges since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it is also an important starting point city of the Silk Road. For Islamic countries, there were Arab prince Puhadin in the Song Dynasty, as well as the ancient Islamic mosque Xianhe Temple, former British Prime Minister Heath, Iranian President and so on. There is also a deep historical source in religion with Southeast Asia. The Zen of Gaomin Temple has a great influence on Japan and Southeast Asia, but the related research and development efforts are too weak. Yangzhou's craft culture represents the highest level in China. The so-called Yangzhou industry, jade culture and lacquerware art do not have a good display platform, and the commercial development is seriously lagging behind. As the four major cuisines, Weiyang Cuisine has no strong brand. In terms of music, it is completely buried in smoke and dust. In fact, famous songs such as Hong Hushui, small town stories, jasmine flowers, four seasons songs and sunny days in 1999 are all based on Yangzhou ditty or minor lyrics. Nowadays, modern music is only copied from Japan and South Korea, and more national treasures should be tapped. There is also the Wenxuan Building in Liang Wudi, which occupies a high position in the history of literature. The Silent Zhao Temple in the Sui Dynasty, where Yang Guang talked about Taoism, is now called Jingzhong Temple and Fanlou, and the emperors' palaces in previous dynasties, etc., have not been well developed. Like the former residence of Wei Yuan, a famous cultural figure in modern times, and the former residence of Chang Yuchun in Ming Dynasty, they were completely lost in Gu Xiang. In terms of literature, deja vu, Nanke's dream, complete merits, after-dinner bell and other birthplaces of a large number of idioms are completely undeveloped, and Lao Ke is still neglected in the alley. The Mulan Temple Tower after dinner is now in the middle of the road. Du Shiniang's Aquilaria Resinatum, Yangdi Mausoleum, and so on, these precious heritages have long been developed in other cities. Yangzhou is still only engaged in GDP, and it is a pity that the cultural city does not engage in culture! There are more places where famous sentences of Tang poetry are produced. It is impossible to talk about China culture without Yangzhou. By what development? By industry? Without unicorn enterprises, how many listed companies are there? By tourism? There are no mountains, no sea, and unlike Beijing and Xi 'an, which have imperial culture, they can only rely on salt merchant culture, and how far they can go. What is even more worrying is that Yangzhou people always feel that they are not bad in the province, and they can't see the rapid development of other cities, so let alone southern Jiangsu. Is northern Jiangsu comparable to Xuzhou and Yancheng? What is even more funny is the original slogan, which took the lead in rising in the middle of Jiangsu. Is Nantong now comparable to Yangzhou? Even Taizhou is almost inferior. Yangzhou needs to calm down and find its own way of development, instead of deceiving itself and others. As a native of Yangzhou, we look forward to a better tomorrow for you. Yangzhou has great potential, with heaven above and heaven below.
