The 25 cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in my mind have 8 different grades, each with its own characteristics
Jiangsu Province has 13, Zhejiang Province has 11, Shanghai has 25, Jiangsu has 25, and Zhejiang has 25. If I were to divide the 25 cities into categories, I would think that the general situation would be as follows, which I will analyze in detail below.
Issue 1: Shanghai (hereinafter referred to as:
It goes without saying that Shanghai is the most prosperous city in China.
Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Ningbo, second gear.
In recent years, Hangzhou has made remarkable achievements in subway construction, economic development and urban construction. As a new first-tier city, Hangzhou has been able to compete with Guangzhou in some aspects, and Hangzhou is undoubtedly the most powerful city in its class.
Although Nanjing has a small population, it has unique geographical advantages and is of great strategic significance. In addition, with the rail transit from Nanjing to Chuzhou, Ma'anshan, Yangzhou and other cities, Nanjing's future is bright.
Suzhou is stronger than Nanjing in terms of industrial scale and population, and the rest are worse than Nanjing. Suzhou is inferior to Nanjing in terms of strategic value, medical care, education, transportation, commerce, etc.
Although Ningbo is not as good as Suzhou, it is also a city under construction, and I think the two should be comparable as a whole.
Part 3: Wuxi (WIPO).
Wuxi is in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and its strength is unprecedented, unparalleled in the world. Compared with Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Ningbo, and Wuxi's economic strength is indeed weaker, but backed by Wenzhou, Changzhou, Nantong and Xuzhou, which are more competitive cities, Wuxi is also a "crab-eating" role.
Fourth gear: Changzhou, Nantong, Wenzhou, Xuzhou.
With a population of more than 5 million and a GDP of 1 trillion yuan, Changzhou is undisputedly at the top of the list in this category.
Nantong has a sufficient population and an industrial base, but there is still a certain lag in urban construction. The subway operation time is still short, the development potential is huge, and there is still a large distance compared with Changzhou.
Wenzhou people are good at doing business, but Wenzhou's urban development is not very good, and the rich people have moved to other places. Wenzhou now gives people the feeling of being a little older, only the two counties of Ruian and Yueqing are more vibrant, with a population of more than 9 million.
Although there is a certain distance between Xuzhou and Changzhou, Nantong and Wenzhou, Xuzhou has unique geographical advantages. A prefecture-level city can have five rail transit, which is a very remarkable thing in itself, and Xuzhou deserves its name in this position.
Fifth gear: Shaoxing, Jinhua, Jiaxing, Yangzhou, Taizhou.
Shaoxing is adjacent to Hangzhou and Ningbo and has rail transit. With this geographical advantage, the future development will be more dynamic, and it is not an exaggeration to become a first-tier city.
Jinhua is a very ordinary city, but it is a county adjacent to it, and its strength is very strong. Jinhua in Zhejiang, Yiwu and Dongyang in China are not unreasonable.
Jiaxing City is even more unique. It borders Shanghai, connects with Hangzhou, Haining, Jiashan County, Tongxiang City, and Haiyan County, and can be said to have its own characteristics.
Since the separation of Yangzhou, Taizhou's power has been much weaker, but camels are always bigger than horses. Today, Yangzhou's tourism industry is still thriving, there is an underground railway to Nanjing is being built, and those lazy Yangzhou people still enjoy the gift of God, Yangzhou is really enviable.
By the end of 2022, Taizhou has entered the era of rail transit, which is a good period of development and the best place in Wenling City at present.
Sixth gear: Zhoushan, Taizhou, Yancheng, Zhenjiang, Huzhou, Huai'an.
Zhoushan has a small population and a small city, but its per capita GDP and per capita disposable income rank first in the country. Although Ningbo and Zhoushan are the same provinces, Zhoushan, although it has a larger population, is definitely not a small city.
We don't have to use Taizhou's high-speed rail metropolitan area to laugh at the difficulties of Taizhou's geographical location. Taizhou is a new city, less than 30 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is not easy to achieve the current achievements, and Taizhou's future development still needs more incentives.
Yancheng, the second largest city in northern Jiangsu, has developed rapidly in recent years, especially those highways that have been built with great momentum, which are even more impressive. And, as the only three coastal cities in Jiangsu Province, I firmly believe that its future will be even brighter.
Although Zhenjiang is a small city, its overall strength is very strong. Across a river from Yangzhou, the tunnel from Jurong to Nanjing has been opened, and Danyang can be said to be the county with the strongest industrial strength in Zhenjiang area. It is precisely because the strength of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is generally very strong that it will be classified to this level, and in other places in Zhenjiang, it is a big mountain.
Although Huzhou is not well known, in fact it is also on the edge of Taihu Lake, but it has not been blown by the winds of Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou. Overall, Huzhou's overall economic level is acceptable, at a medium level.
Huai'an is a medium-sized city with trams, which also confirms this. However, Huai'an still lacks its own characteristics and is not the best in all aspects, so it has become a backward place.
Lianyungang, Suqian, seventh gear.
Although Suqian's GDP in recent years is slightly higher than that of Lianyungang, I think Lianyungang's economic strength is even stronger. After all, this is a seaside city, and Suqian is nothing compared to it.
Quzhou, Lishui, eighth.
Quzhou and Lishui were rated as the two worst cities in Zhejiang Province, and there is no reason to rank at the bottom. I put Quzhou in front of Lishui, Quzhou is far from Huangshan in Anhui, Shangrao in Jiangxi, and Jinhua in Zhejiang, which is a more advantageous choice.
Yeosu, on the other hand, is surrounded by mountains and has no other prefecture-level cities around. Lishui is the one with the worst development foundation among the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
