When China entered a well-off society, people paid more attention to the quality of life and leisure, and Xiamen became the yearning of China people for a new life, because there are blue sea and blue sky, beaches, rocks under the sun, lakes and mountains, and ethereal and leisurely piano music floating in the wind; Because this city is the highest E-level of "International Garden City" in 2002, domestic cities have never won the "first place" of this honor. It can be said that Xiamen is the most warm and romantic open port tourist capital in China and even in the world.
Port tourism city is the core competitiveness of Xiamen.
Let's talk about the harbor first. 1842, Xiamen was listed as one of the five major trading ports. In recent years, Haitian, Xiangyu, Haicang International Container and Du Dong Wharf in Xiamen Port are competing to open more routes, attracting a large number of internationally renowned shipping companies to join, and the modern loading and unloading equipment of the wharf is becoming more and more perfect. Today, the container throughput of Xiamen Port has exceeded1700,000 TEU, and it has entered the ranks of Asia-Pacific trunk ports ahead of schedule, ranking among the top 40 trunk ports in the world. Its container throughput increased by nearly 36%, far exceeding the container growth rate of other surrounding ports, and the throughput was 70% of that of Fujian Province.
Second place Quanzhou: Compared with Xiamen as the national capital, Quanzhou is more Quanzhou in Fujian. In Fujian, if you are an urban white-collar worker, you will inevitably talk about the affluence of Quanzhou people in your daily life, and the streets of many towns and villages in Quanzhou are suddenly full of high-end cars. That alley is a four-star hotel and so on. Of course, if you are a mountain farmer who goes out to work, at the beginning of the year, in most cases, the first long-distance ticket you buy is to go to economically developed areas such as Jinjiang or Shishi in Quanzhou.
Why? There is a simple reason. The private economy here is developed and it is the most powerful place in Fujian. In 2002, Quanzhou took the lead in breaking through the 100 billion yuan mark in Fujian Province, reaching 654.38+022.306 billion yuan, accounting for more than a quarter of the province and ranking third among prefecture-level cities in China. Of the 8 cities and counties in Fujian that have entered the top 100 counties in China, 5 are in Quanzhou, and all the counties and cities under their jurisdiction have entered the top 10 in Fujian's economic development.
Over the years, Quanzhou people have carried forward the spirit of "love to fight and dare to win", and the private economy is highly developed, becoming one of the fastest growing and most dynamic areas in the province and even the whole country. If a brick is thrown into the street, it may hit four directors in Fuzhou, four bosses in Xiamen, and four bosses in Quanzhou, because Quanzhou is a veritable capital of private economy in Fujian, and there are many bosses in Quanzhou.
Today's Quanzhou private economy is not the "grassroots economy" of that year. Private industry has entered a new stage of development, producing a large number of enterprises with large scale, strong competitiveness and good benefits, and creating national and provincial famous brands such as Anerle, Seven Wolves, Rich Bird, Jin Lu and Anta. In 200 1 year, the market share of "Anta" brand travel shoes reached 14.7%, that of "Jiu Wang Mu" brand trousers reached 23.4%, and that of "Seven Wolves" brand jacket reached 15. 1%. Also ranked "first" are: Xunxing Group's SBS zipper production ranks first in the country, Hengan Group's "Anerle" sanitary napkins and diapers production scale ranks first in the country, and Benda Cloth Cabinet ranks first in the market share of similar products in the country. In the competitive sports shoes market, Jinjiang's "Anta" brand, "Ai Le" brand and "Yalide" brand sports shoes all rank in the list of famous brand products in China, accounting for half of the famous brand products in China. Quanzhou now governs Jinjiang, Shishi and Nan 'an. Licheng, Fengze, Luojiang and Quangang districts; Hui 'an, Anxi, Yongchun, Dehua, Jinmen (to be unified) and Meng Qing Science and Technology Industrial Zone Administrative Committee, with a population of 7.28 million (excluding kinmen county), are the first cities in Fujian. In 2002, the city's local fiscal revenue was 8.088 billion yuan, ranking first in Fujian's fiscal revenue for many years. In fact, Quanzhou can achieve such great achievements today because its counties and cities have their own characteristics in economic development and their own core competitiveness is the first in the country:
At the beginning of reform and opening up, Jinjiang City, the "shoe capital of China", was famous for its "Jinjiang Model" and its economic development was booming. Especially after Comrade Xiaoping's southern tour speech, from 1993 to 1999, Jinjiang's fiscal revenue increased by 1 100 million yuan every year; In 2000 and 20001year, the annual net increase was 300 million, and by 2002, it increased to 400 million per year, with income exceeding 2 billion. The economic strength ranks sixth among the top 100 counties in China, and Fujian ranks first. In recent years, with China's accession to the WTO and other favorable conditions, Jinjiang has indeed shown more advantages in the footwear industry. It is understood that there are currently more than 3,000 footwear production and operation enterprises in Jinjiang, with more than 350,000 employees, with an annual output of more than 500 million pairs, an annual output value of 20 billion yuan, and export earnings of 65.438+0.2 billion US dollars. The total output of tourist sports shoes accounts for 65.438+0.4 of the national output, 65.438+0.8 of the world output, and the global average is one pair for every 65.438+02 people. At present, the fiscal revenue of only one county-level city in Jinjiang exceeds the sum of local fiscal revenues of Ningde, Longyan, Nanping and Sanming, which shows the economy of Jinjiang.
Some people say that in every flight from Tokyo to Xiamen, at least one third of the guests are stone merchants from Japan, and most of these people's destinations are Nan 'an. Yes, Nan 'an is the hometown of building materials in China. Last year, the total output value of building materials industry, including stone, exceeded 654.38+000 billion, ranking among the top eight in Fujian's economic aggregate for many years.
As one of the famous distribution centers of clothing and raw and auxiliary materials along the southeast coast of China, Shishi has the reputation of "overwhelming clothes and doing business everywhere". There are more than 5,000 garment and supporting industrial enterprises in the city, with an output value of 9 billion yuan, accounting for 57% of the city's total industrial and agricultural output value, with more than 200,000 employees; There are nearly 2,000 registered trademarks focusing on clothing, and there are nearly 20,000 clothing enterprises in its surrounding areas, forming a "one-stop" professional clothing production pattern and industrial cluster from fabrics to clothing, with a unique "casual clothing".
