The gap in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is all about liquor, why is the gap getting bigger and bigger?
Yibin and Luzhou in Sichuan are important towns on both sides of the Yangtze River, with a long brewing history and a long brewing culture.
Yibin is the world's first liquor manufacturer to use five grains to make liquor, and it is also famous for Wuliangye. Luzhou, the hometown of China's strong aromatic liquor, is also a place where the liquor industry has a long history.
Both of these places are local brands featuring the winemaking industry, and have established their own brand images at home and abroad, forming China's wine culture.
Yibin is located at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces where the three rivers of Jinsha River, Min River and Yangtze River converge, and is known as "the first city of the Yangtze River, the wine capital of China, and the bamboo capital of China". As a major regional core of the Yangtze River metropolitan area in China, it has profound historical and cultural connotations. Yibin's unique geographical advantages have created its status as a large inland province and the prosperity of its wine industry.
As an important town at the junction of Sichuan-Chongqing, Yunnan-Guizhou and Guizhou, Luzhou is located at the confluence of the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River. Luzhou is not only the core city at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, but also the "southern wing" of the economic development of Chengdu and Chongqing. As the third largest airport in Sichuan, Chengdu's superior geographical location and superior geographical location have created unique advantages for its development of the wine industry.
Yibin and Luzhou have similar urban status in terms of area and location. Yibin urban construction land 856 square kilometers, Luzhou 111 square kilometers, Luzhou's urban construction scale is slightly larger, and the level of urban construction is relatively high. Both of these are riverside and water-facing cities, both enjoy the abundant products along the Yangtze River, and are a major hub in southern Sichuan.
Although Yibin and Luzhou have many similarities in terms of location and location, in recent years, the economic development gap between the two places has gradually widened. More than 20 years ago, the GDP of the two places was not much different, only 5 billion yuan.
However, in the past ten years, Yibin has developed very fast and has made great progress. The gap between the two has widened rapidly from 10 billion yuan to hundreds of billions of yuan, and has equaled Mianyang, and the economic gap between the two has narrowed to only 2 billion yuan, while Mianyang is measured in 10 billion yuan. This development trend indicates that in the near future, Yibin will surpass Mianyang and become one of the second largest cities in Sichuan Province.
This is mainly because Yibin has more brewing enterprises and has strong competitiveness. On this year's list of 100 companies in Sichuan, there are many more companies in Yibin than in Luzhou. This not only reflects Yibin's leading role in the wine industry, but also reflects its increasing proportion in the entire industry chain.
In addition, more than a dozen universities such as Chengdu University of Technology, Sichuan University of Light Industry, Xihua University, Yibin College, Sichuan University of Foreign Chinese, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Sichuan University, and Southwest Jiaotong University gathered in Yibin.
The university has injected strong human resources into the development and reform of Yibin, and injected strong strength into its development and reform. Compared with Yibin, Luzhou University has a large gap in terms of scale and quality, which has become an important factor restricting its development.
The Yangtze River Economic Belt has been under construction for eight years, and the development gap between Yibin and Luzhou has been expanding during this period.
Although it is still difficult to catch up with Yibin now, the future development is a great uncertainty. Yibin and Luzhou are two shining gems in the Yangtze River Economic Corridor and two friendly "sister cities". In the economic game, perhaps in the future, Luzhou can still find an opportunity to turn over.
Yibin and Luzhou are known as the two major towns on the Yangtze River Economic Corridor, especially for winemaking. Although Yibin is now a leader in economic development, Luzhou still has a lot of room and opportunities for development.
Yibin and Luzhou will continue to contribute to the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt requires the joint participation of major cities, and Yibin and Luzhou will also make full use of their unique advantages to make due contributions to China's economic and social development.
Luzhou is the birthplace of China's strong flavor liquor, and compared with Yibin, it has a special historical and humanistic connotation. Luzhou Laojiao is a landmark product of Luzhou liquor industry, which has been well-known at home and abroad as early as the 80s of the last century.
However, Luzhou Liquor is inferior to Yibin in terms of scale and market share. Although Luzhou liquor industry has occupied a certain position, there is still room for improvement, in the future should strengthen marketing efforts, strengthen scientific and technological research and development, enhance their competitiveness.
Yibin University has abundant educational resources and has a strong attraction to students and outstanding young people. The university has provided stable human resources support for the development and reform of Yibin. In addition to its own educational resources, Yibin University Town will also create opportunities for the development of its intellectual industry, high-tech industry and other fields.
Compared with Yibin, Luzhou's universities have a large gap in terms of scale and quality. Luzhou should start from deepening the combination of production, education and research, and improving the level of talent training to promote the reform and development of our city.
Yibin and Luzhou are facing new development opportunities in the process of developing the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The implementation of the "Yangtze River Delta Integration" has provided development opportunities for major cities in the Yangtze River region, and also provided them with a huge financial and material foundation. Yibin reacted to this, seized the opportunity, and achieved relatively good development.
Although Luzhou's development has fallen behind to a certain extent, its prospects are still very bright. Economic development is a virtuous circle, perhaps in the near future, Luzhou can have a chance to turn over, so as to achieve a leap forward development.
Generally speaking, Yibin and Luzhou are both two important towns in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and they are also famous for their famous wines, which have set an example for China's wine industry.
Although Yibin is now in a leading position in terms of economic scale and brewing industry, there is still huge space and opportunities for the development of Luzhou. The competition between the two places is not only in the alcohol industry, but also in education, science and technology, culture and other aspects.
The construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt requires all cities to continuously carry out reforms on their own basis and make their own contribution to China's economic and social development. Yibin and Luzhou will make persistent efforts on the road of development in the future, face difficulties, and make due contributions to the construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
