Wuhan nine provinces through the thoroughfare, the previous location absolutely killed Xi'an, but now the high-speed rail era, Xi'an Wuhan status with Zhengzhou, the same as the three major hubs, I Wuhan people, living in Xi'an, did not feel that the traffic where it is not convenient, especially after the high-speed rail opened, to go to where it is very convenient. And Xi'an airport throughput is more than Wuhan, so the traffic problem is not a big problem. In my opinion, the two cities have similar development potential, both are regional towns, one with 027 and the other with 029. Education and healthcare are among the best in the country. Of course, I still favor Wuhan for high school education, and the First Affiliated High School of Huashi is still stronger than the Affiliated High School of XITU. The downside of Wuhan is that it's too hot, it's one of the hottest places in the world, and when I lived in Wuhan, I was basically in hottest mode in April. Xi'an side of the climate is better, but Xi'an because of winter heating, haze kills Wuhan, so I usually in Wuhan in winter. Then there is the economy, Wuhan Optics Valley, that is not to say, although lost in the nineties, yes, I was in junior high school, but now it has been out of the results, Xi'an High-tech Zone construction achievements, the country's fourth, each of the two places have a high-level of the world's leading domestic and foreign enterprises stationed. About gdp, my personal opinion is not much reference value, the city size and dependence on the way decided, Xi'an city is small, if you learn Wuhan Chengdu and other cities of the spreading of the big cake way, gdp go up very quickly, for example, recently in the process of swallowing the Xianyang, gdp over 10,000, but for the people of the practical significance of it? Personally, I think the city livability conditions, income level, medical education, human environment, employment opportunities, climate environment, etc., is the first consideration, so I recommend Xi'an, Wuhan, Chengdu, Changsha, Hangzhou, Nanjing, these cities, in no particular order.
Xi'an and Wuhan, who has more potential? Many people will go more from the city's culture and history to find reasons and grounds. In fact, the judgment on this matter, look at the history alone is not. 40 years ago, Shenzhen is only a fishing village, even a county can not talk about, is now a quasi-tier one city. There are three main reasons why Shenzhen has become a first-tier city, the first being the location along the coast near Hong Kong and Macao. The next reason is the decision of the central government. Next is the favorable policies and support and assistance from all over the country. Therefore, the location and its economic and trade influence is the most important basis for judgment.
So the position and role of Wuhan and Xi'an in the overall development of the country's future overall situation, as well as the importance of the weight, it is relatively obvious. Xi'an is located in Qinlong, the ancient capital of the six dynasties, deep historical deposits. Ancient Jingwei oar convenience, today there is the Longhai Railway line to the northwest, through Lanzhou, Xining, export Asia and Europe. Its Belt and Road strategic location can not be said to be not important. But the land transportation costs are large, limited capacity, not as cheap as shipping, but also as fast as air transport. Its agricultural geography, climate, rainfall, water resources, etc., are not ideal.
Wuhan's location advantage is very obvious. Jianghan Plain, the land of fish and rice. Central China town, nine provinces. Golden waterway, through the river to the sea. West to Ba Shu, east to Songhu. Beijing-Guangzhou artery, north to Beijing-Tianjin, south to Guangzhou-Shenzhen. There is no big city within 1,000 kilometers in the southeast, northwest and north, which can be compared with the city. The city has a long history, stretching back to the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty. Education, science and technology, outstanding. The number of university students is about 1.8 million, the highest in China and the highest in the world. Hundreds of scientific research institutes, especially optical research leading the world, Wuhan Optical Valley, comparable to the U.S. Silicon Valley. Industry categories are complete, gold, textile, shipbuilding, car manufacturing, machine tools, electromechanical, bridges, petroleum, chemical, electronics, shipping, tourism, financial GDP has long exceeded one trillion dollars. Wuhan is still keeping a low profile of the momentum, municipal construction is booming. Infrastructure is improving day by day. There are 12 bridges and tunnels on the Yangtze River, IO bridges on the Han River, the subway line 7 has begun, the inner ring, the second ring, the third ring elevated highway has been, the outer ring is under construction. The average salary of enterprise workers is about 6,000 yuan/month, and prices are relatively low and stable. The price of the central city is only 20,000 yuan/square meter. The central financial institutions have not yet received major projects tilted and policy concessions.
Wuhan, Xi'an, with the above comparisons, has been divided, the order can be determined. But who first became a first-tier city, by the central state economic construction overall planning considerations, will not be subject to personal favorites, emotional sway.
