In the west of China 12 provincial capitals and cities, its comprehensive competitive strength is in the forefront, and it is known as the "Pearl of Western China". Culture is unique. Xinjiang was called the Western Regions in ancient times. Historically, Urumqi is an important town on the New North Road of the ancient Silk Road, a center of economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and a gathering place of western culture and China culture. It presents the characteristics of multi-culture, characterized by openness, enthusiasm, boldness and enterprising, and is the most dynamic city in Central Asia. There are 47 ethnic groups in Urumqi, including Han, Uygur, Kazak, Hui and Mongolian. The culture, art, customs and habits of all ethnic groups constitute a tourist cultural landscape with strong national characteristics. Unique costumes, ethnic cultural activities such as horse racing, sheep grabbing, chasing girls, Dawazi performance, Alken playing and singing, and people of all ethnic groups who are good at singing and dancing and hospitable are quite attractive to foreign tourists. Natural resources are very rich. Urumqi has Zhundong Oilfield in the north, Karamay Oilfield in the west, Tarim Oilfield in the south and Tuha Oilfield in the east, which is located in the middle of Junggar coal storage belt. The coal reserves of municipal districts are more than 6543.8+000 billion tons, and they are called "coal ships on the oil sea". In addition, there are abundant non-ferrous rare mineral resources. Tianshan glaciers and perennial snow are called "natural solid reservoirs". There are dense natural forests and grasslands in mountainous areas, and there are more than 300 kinds of wild plants that can be used. Photothermal wind energy resources are also extremely rich, with the largest wind power plant in Asia. These natural resources have laid a solid foundation for the economic development of Urumqi. The location advantage is obvious. Urumqi is China's land transportation hub connecting Central Asia and even Europe, and now it has become an important window for China to expand its opening to the west and carry out foreign economic and cultural exchanges. Among the four geographical factors occupied by developed commercial cities in the world, Urumqi has not only advantages along the border, but also advantages along the line, which is the biggest geographical advantage of Xinjiang and Urumqi in the western development. Especially with the completion of the New Eurasian Continental Bridge, Urumqi, as the west bridgehead of the China section of the New Eurasian Continental Bridge, plays an increasingly important role in the economic development of western China and even Central Asia. Urumqi Airport is one of the five gateway airports in China, and has opened more than 100 international, domestic and regional routes. Urumqi Railway Station is the general railway hub in Xinjiang, and also an important passenger and cargo distribution center in China and Central Asia, with more than 20 pairs of international and domestic direct trains. Roads and urban roads extend in all directions, forming a transportation network that runs through the inside and outside and runs across the north and south. Urumqi has modern international communication means. All these have built a modern three-dimensional "Silk Road" and set up a golden bridge for Urumqi to go global. The market potential is great. Urumqi, adjacent to Central Asian countries, has been an important hub for communication between East and West since ancient times. If we take Urumqi as the center and take 1500 km as the radius, within the range of about 7 million square kilometers, Urumqi is the city with the largest scale, the largest population, the strongest market potential and the best environment, which has a strong radiation effect on Central Asia. Xinjiang borders eight neighboring countries by land, with Class I ports 17 and Class II ports 18. Urumqi is not only the largest commodity distribution center in Xinjiang, but also an important import and export trade distribution center in Central Asia, and has become an important platform for world investors to explore the Central Asian market. At present, relying on eight neighboring countries, Urumqi has built nearly 200 commodity trading markets, of which 32 have annual turnover exceeding 100 million yuan, and 10 exceeds 654.38+0 billion yuan, forming a multi-level and multi-channel trade network covering Xinjiang and radiating Central Asia, ranking among the top cities in western China. In 2006, the total import and export trade reached US$ 4.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15%. Tourism is developed. Urumqi has beautiful natural scenery. The Tianshan Mountains are distributed with alpine ice and snow landscape, mountain forest landscape and grassland landscape, which provides rich sightseeing and exploration contents for tourists. The culture, art, customs and habits of all ethnic groups constitute the tourist cultural landscape with national characteristics. Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, Xinjiang Min Street, Erdaoqiao Minzu Street and other scenic spots with strong Xinjiang folk customs are well-known at home and abroad. Festivals and exhibitions with the cultural characteristics of the Silk Road, such as the Silk Road Ice and Snow Scenery Tour and the Silk Road Clothing Festival, have become unique city cards in Urumqi. In recent years, tens of millions of Chinese and foreign tourists visited Urumqi. In 2006, the city received 7.8 million domestic and foreign tourists, up11.75% year-on-year; The total income of tourism and shopping reached 76180,000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.86%. Urumqi has become an important tourist distribution center and destination in Xinjiang. The industrial structure is reasonable. Urumqi's tertiary industry (circulation service industry) is relatively developed, accounting for 6 1.5% of GDP. There are more than 100 star hotels in Urumqi, more than 60 three-star hotels and five-star hotels in Urumqi. With perfect service industry and complete infrastructure, it has created a good investment and cooperation environment for merchants from all over the world. It has a perfect trade circulation system, and the import and export trade is relatively developed, accounting for more than 50% of Xinjiang's total import and export; Primary and secondary schools, universities, hospitals and scientific research institutions are relatively concentrated, and the talent team is relatively sound. At present, Urumqi has formed ten industrial clusters such as petrochemical, metallurgy, textile, machinery, high-tech, building materials, pharmacy, food, furniture and clothing, with complete industrial categories and increasingly reasonable industrial structure. In particular, the development of petrochemical and metallurgical industries is in a leading position in the same industry and has become the pillar of the secondary industry. The secondary industry accounts for 37% of the city's GDP. The primary industry accounts for a small proportion of the city's GDP, only 1.5%. However, modern agriculture, sightseeing agriculture and efficient agriculture are our goals. Have a policy advantage. In recent years, with the in-depth implementation of the national western development strategy, especially for the development and construction of Xinjiang, the central government has issued a series of preferential policies. The state's support for Xinjiang's economic development is no less than the support for the development of China's southeast coastal areas in the early 1980s. These policies have strongly supported the accelerated development of Urumqi. At the same time, we have been committed to the construction of development zones and industrial parks and have many years of experience in park construction. We have successively built two national development zones (Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone and Urumqi High-tech Industrial Development Zone) and an export processing zone (an important industrial park to undertake export-oriented industries), and are building Toutunhe Industrial Park, Shuimogou Pioneer Park and Midong Industrial Park under the framework of economic integration between Urumqi and Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang. The construction of Wuchang economic integration is a new attempt of regional economic cooperation, which has a far-reaching impact on resource sharing, complementary advantages, strong alliance and continuous enhancement of regional overall strength. The construction of development zones and industrial parks and the gradual advancement of economic integration between Urumqi and our neighbor Changji will surely make Urumqi one of the most important manufacturing bases in western China. We will also make good use of the international and domestic markets, strive to build the largest export processing trade base in Xinjiang and an international logistics port in Central Asia, and strive to build a good cooperation and exchange platform for the economic development of Central Asia and play a good role as a bridge in Central Asia. Our development goal is to build Urumqi into a modern international business city facing Central Asia. To this end, we will unremittingly build five major logistics centers facing Central Asia, build a number of business markets that have a radiation effect on Central Asia, and constantly improve services such as finance, intermediary and information consultation. In the new century, Urumqi will seize the historical opportunity of China's western development and strive to build Urumqi into a regional commodity trading and distribution center, financial center, transportation and storage center and modern information service consulting center in western China and Central Asia.
