Can you believe it?Just three months ago, another city was born in China, with a total area of about 2,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 61 Macau, and the current population is less than 90,000 peopleHow was it born?In this issue, let's take a look. Baiyang City is located in the north of Xinjiang, is a county-level city directly under the jurisdiction of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, currently managed by the Xinjiang Construction and Production Corps, it is 12 kilometers away from Tacheng City in the east, and borders Baktu Port in the west, with an area of about 2,000 square kilometers, equivalent to 61 Macao, and the current population is about 8550,000.
On April 28, 2023, Baiyang City was officially established as a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Although the city was only established for 3 months, the history of the city can be traced back to 1954. As we all know, border areas need to send troops to guard them, and Xinjiang is no exception. At that time, the 163rd Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Xinjiang Construction Corps established an agricultural production base here.
With the opening of the border and the gradual prosperity of **, there were schools and hospitals here, and the original Tasti post was renamed the Little Poplar Post.
In 2003, when China and Kazakhstan were surveying the border, it was precisely because of the existence of border companies such as the Little Poplar Outpost that the nearby 490 square kilometers of land were included in the territory of China, and the Little Poplar Post advanced by 3 kilometers.
In 2013. In order to better coordinate the development of the local economy, and also to better develop the border undertakings, the Ninth Division of the Xinjiang Construction Corps started the work of building a city, and the address was selected in Akchok Town, the 163rd Regiment, which was later renamed "Baiyang City". In 2019, the 9th Division formally submitted an application to the Xinjiang Construction Corps to establish a county-level city, that is, Baiyang City, which was subsequently approved.
In 2021, the state began to vigorously build Baiyang City, investing nearly 10 billion yuan in infrastructure and various buildings, which completely transformed the desolate frontier city of Baiyang City.
On April 28, 2023, Baiyang City was officially established, becoming the youngest city in China.
The reason why Baiyang City will be established, mainly related to the superior geographical environment here, it is only 12 kilometers away from Tacheng City in the east, and it is adjacent to Baktu Port in the west, and the transportation arteries such as highways and railways are very developed, and the city has a highway connecting Almaty, Kazakhstan and Urumqi, China.
In addition, it is also the only city adjacent to the port construction of the XPCC, with a unique and important geographical location, known as the frontier window of China's interconnection to the west, and the port city of the northern passage of the "Belt and Road", which plays an important role in the implementation of China's Belt and Road strategy.
After the establishment of Baiyang City, the economic development is very rapid, the industrial structure is diversified, and in 2022, the GDP of Baiyang City will be 677.6 billion yuan, which is very good for a city with a population of less than 90,000.
The city is mainly based on agriculture, industry-led, but also to the service industry as the support, forming a diversified industrial structure system, with the "Belt and Road" north channel port city identity, and actively economic and trade cooperation with Central Asian countries, the future of the industry and logistics industry has a lot of room for development.
As an emerging city, the establishment of Baiyang City naturally has many significance, in addition to actively promoting ethnic unity education and strengthening exchanges and interactions among various ethnic groups, it is also conducive to the development of border undertakings, and is an important measure for Xinjiang's stable development and opening up to the outside world.
Next, the country will make more efforts to build Baiyang City into a modern, international border city, and at the same time, it also has the potential to develop into a tourist cityWelcome to leave a message to discuss.
