Zhengzhou, located in the hinterland of China, is an important central city in central China and an important comprehensive transportation hub of the country. The central city of the national strategic "Central Plains Economic Zone". In the future, Zhengzhou will become the only "double cross" center in the national ordinary railway and high-speed railway network, forming a "half-hour economic circle" in the Central Plains urban agglomeration, "1 hour economic circle" in the Central Plains economic zone and a "three-hour economic circle" in the country. Taking Zhengzhou Xinzheng International Airport as the center, it covers two-thirds of major cities and three-fifths of the population in one and a half hours. Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange is one of the three major futures exchanges in China and the first futures exchange in China. Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone is the first comprehensive bonded zone in the central region.

The Central Plains urban agglomeration is a close contact circle with Zhengzhou as the center, Luoyang as the sub-center, and Kaifeng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Xuchang, Pingdingshan, Luohe and Jiyuan as the nodes. The Central Plains Urban Agglomeration is also one of the hubs and core areas for Henan Province and even the central region to undertake the industrial transfer of developed countries and East China and the export of western resources, and will become an important growth pole for participating in domestic and international competition, promoting the rise of Central China and radiating the development of the central and western regions.

Central Plains Economic Zone (CPER) is an economic zone with Zhengzhou-Bian metropolitan area as the core and Central Plains urban agglomeration as the support, covering Henan Province and its surrounding areas. CPER, located in the middle of China, is a key development zone with clear main functional areas in China. With its important geographical location, developed transportation, huge market potential and profound cultural heritage, it has an important strategic position in the overall situation of national reform and development. 20 1 1 On the eve of the National Day, the construction of the Central Plains Economic Zone became a national strategy. The Central Plains Economic Zone covers 28 provincial cities in Henan (18 prefecture-level cities and 10 counties and cities directly under the jurisdiction of the province) and 3 counties and districts in Shandong, Hebei, Anhui and Shanxi 12 prefecture-level cities, with a total area of about 289,000 square kilometers, a total population of about1500,000 people and a total economic output.

On March 7th, 20 13, the State Council officially approved the development plan of Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone (20 13~2025). According to the plan of "one city and five districts", Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone consists of three parts: core area, main area and driving radiation area. This is the first pioneering area of airport economic development that has become a national strategy in China. It is an aviation economy and aviation metropolis circle with Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone near Xinzheng International Airport in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province as the core, and it is the main carrier for Zhengzhou to develop into an international aviation logistics center, a land port city, an international comprehensive logistics zone, a high-end manufacturing base and a service base. The function of free trade zone has been realized 20125 September 4.

Nanyang was the largest iron smelting center in China in the Han Dynasty, and there were existing iron smelting sites in Wancheng. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang was the second largest city in China. Since ancient times, many historical celebrities such as Fan Li, Zhang Heng, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Zhongjing, Jiang Ziya, etc. Come here or make a fortune here. Therefore, Nanyang is the place where Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, made his fortune, so Nanyang is also called "Southern Capital" and "Land of Kings".

Wu Hanyou has a history of more than 3,500 years and is divided into three towns: Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang. Hankou was once the second largest city in China, known as "Chicago of the East", while Hanyang was the birthplace of modern industry in China and Wuchang was the birthplace of the Republic of China. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote here that "the Jade Emperor blows the Yellow Crane Tower and plum blossoms fall into the river in May", so Wuhan has been called "the river city" since ancient times. Now the goal of Wuhan is to "rejuvenate Wuhan" and return to a national central city and an international metropolis.

Wuhan is one of the largest industrial and commercial cities in central China and one of the national key industrial cities. It has a complete industrial system of steel, automobile, photoelectricity, chemical industry, metallurgy, textile, shipbuilding, manufacturing and medicine. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Wuhan's economy was in the forefront of Asia. After the founding of New China, a large number of enterprises, such as WISCO, Wuzhong, Wu, Wuchuan and Meat Federation, were built one after another, which greatly improved Wuhan's economic status and urban strength. From 1959 to the early stage of reform and opening up, Wuhan's total industrial output value ranked fourth in the country. However, since 1980s, Wuhan has failed to keep up with the pace of reform and opening up, and has gradually been left behind by coastal areas. This situation began to change after entering the 20th century. In the 1990s, Wuhan established Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone in Dunkou, Hanyang, Wuhan East Lake High-tech Development Zone in Wuchang, Wuhan Airport Economic and Technological Development Zone in Dongxihu and Yangluo Development Zone in Xinzhou. Changsha, known as "Tanzhou" in ancient times, is a famous Chu-Han city, a city of mountains and rivers and a city of joy, and an important central city in the central region. As the first batch of historical and cultural cities in China, Changsha has a splendid history of ancient city civilization of 3,000 years. This is the birthplace of Chu-Han civilization and Huxiang culture, and the world archaeological miracle "Mawangdui Western Han Mausoleum" was unearthed here. Changsha is now the capital of Hunan Province, the political, economic, cultural, transportation and science and education center of Hunan Province, and also the leading city in the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration. Changsha is an important mega-center city in the south of China. Its comprehensive strength ranks in the forefront of the country, its comprehensive competitiveness ranks ninth in the country, and its central and western regions rank first. With the deepening of the strategy of "Rise of Central China" and the prosperity of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan, Changsha (Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan), as a comprehensive supporting reform pilot zone of a national two-oriented society (resource-saving and environment-friendly), shoulders the historical mission of leading the national cities to take the road of sustainable development and sets an example for the national cities. At the same time, Changsha is committed to building the most open and internationally influential cultural city and world-class tourist destination in the interior.

Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration is located in the central and eastern part of Hunan Province, including the three cities of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan, and is the core growth pole of Hunan's economic development. Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan is zigzag distributed along the Xiangjiang River, less than 40 kilometers apart, with a compact structure. In 2007, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Urban Agglomeration was approved as a comprehensive reform pilot area for the construction of two-oriented society in China. The integration of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration is the forerunner of the construction of urban agglomerations in six provincial capitals in central China, and it was evaluated as "the first case of consciously conducting regional economic integration experiments in China" by Southern Weekend. In the case of disharmony between administrative divisions and economic regions, Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan have set an example for other urban agglomerations by promoting economic integration through projects. Instead of competing with the six central provinces, we are committed to building the "engine" of the rise of central China. Zhuzhou, formerly known as Jianning, is the second largest city in Hunan Province. The National Experimental Zone for Comprehensive Reform of Two-oriented Society, one of the first eight key industrial cities in China, the national old industrial base, the national health city, one of the top ten cities with the most investment value in China, and an important railway hub in China, is known as the "train-driven city" and enjoys the reputation of "the electric locomotive capital of China".
