Everyone knows Dehong Dai Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, which we usually refer to as Dehong Prefecture for short. It is located in the southwestern part of Yunnan Province. The history of Dehong Prefecture can be traced all the way back to the ancient Nanzhao period, and this place was an important stop on the southern route of the Silk Road in the past. It is because of its special geographical location and rich multi-ethnic culture that Dehong has become a famous place.
In ancient times, Dehong was inhabited by many ethnic groups such as the Tai and Dai peoples, and various ethnic groups thrived on this land, giving birth to a rich and diverse culture. Here, you can feel the rich cultural atmosphere of ethnic minorities, enjoy ancient buildings, exquisite handicrafts, colorful national costumes and colorful national songs and dances.
Dehong's economy is largely supported by agriculture and tourism. First of all, Dehong has unique natural resources, which are very suitable for the development of agriculture. The agricultural products here, such as rubber, coffee, etc., are of good quality and have high yields, bringing a lot of income to local farmers.
Tourism Dehong City also has its own unique advantages. The beautiful natural scenery and diverse minority culture here attract a large number of tourists. Jinghong, Ruili and other scenic spots are the highlights of Dehong tourism, and at the same time, they have also brought vigorous tourism to the city.
Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, referred to as Nujiang Prefecture, is also in the southwest of our Yunnan Province. The history of Nujiang City can probably be traced back to the ancient Nanzhao period, when this place was also a necessary place on the Silk Road. The Nujiang River is that kind of place, with beautiful landscapes and landforms, as well as rich mineral resources.
After a long history, the Nu River has always been a place where many ethnic groups live together, so it has its own unique cultural atmosphere. There are really many historical stories of the Nujiang River, some of which are related to the Silk Road, and some are also closely related to the historical dynasties of Nanzhao and Western Xia.
Nujiang City is mainly developed on agriculture and mineral resources. In agriculture, the main output of the Nu River is basically staple foods such as rice and corn, as well as fruits and animal husbandry. This provides Nujiang City with an abundance of agricultural products, which is enough to meet the daily needs of local residents.
Mineral resources Nujiang, there are a lot of placer gold, lead and zinc, silver, jade and other mineral products, providing important raw materials for the city's industrial development. The exploitation of mineral resources has brought great wealth to Nujiang City.
Although Dehong City and Nujiang City are geographically close to each other, there are still certain degrees of differences in their history, culture and economic construction. Dehong City mainly relies on agriculture and tourism as the development support, makes full use of the local natural resources, and realizes rapid economic development. Nujiang City, on the other hand, focuses on the development of agriculture and mineral resources, especially the abundant mineral resources here, which have created huge wealth for the city.
The emergence of this gap is not only due to the factors of geographical environment, but also closely related to the adjustment of local policies and the choice of development plans. The geographical environment has a certain impact on the economic development of the city, but to a large extent, the development speed and level of the city depend on the local policy and planning, because the development of the city is a systematic project, which requires the support and cooperation of many aspects, including the geographical environment, policy environment, social environment, etc.
In my opinion, Dehong City and Nujiang City, as two prefecture-level cities in China, each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The development of Dehong City in agriculture and tourism can be said to be quite outstanding, while Nujiang City has obvious advantages in the development and utilization of mineral resources, although it is lacking in this aspect. Therefore, we should not discriminate against a region because it is not developing well enough in a certain aspect, but should look at the development of each region with an equal and objective attitude.
