In the past, "Guilin's landscape was the best in the world", why is Guilin's tourism industry not as developed as it used to be?

As we all know, when talking about the most well-known city in Guangxi, I believe that most people, like the editor, first think of Guilin. The beauty of Guilin's landscape is difficult to describe in words. Even literary masters can only describe one-tenth of it. Therefore, for a long time, the name of Guilin was even greater than that of Guangxi. But such a city with such a good tourism economy is now just a third-tier city. Xiamen City, which has a very similar development path to it, has already left Guilin City far behind. How much do you know about the city of Guilin? The editor can say without hesitation that this city has become the most depressed city in Guangxi. Have you ever been to the city of Guilin? How much do you know about Guilin's current economic development?

Speaking of Guilin, I believe many people are familiar with its charming attractions. But how much do you know about its development history? In fact, Guilin is just an ordinary prefecture-level city now. But before that, Guilin's urban status in Guangxi was very high. It even served as the provincial capital city for more than 500 years. This was the peak period of Guilin's development. It had a developed economy, respected status, and beautiful and charming scenery. Naturally, many tourists flocked to it.

However, with the development of the times, Guilin's urban status is no longer what it used to be, and its economic aggregate is not as good as Nanning, the capital of the province, and Liuzhou, which is famous for its industry. In a city like Guangxi with average economic development, it only ranks third, which has to be lamented. Guilin has become the most low-key city in Guangxi.

Moreover, there is no trace of Guilin in the list of the top 100 cities in my country in 2019. It can be seen that compared with Nanning and Liuzhou, Guilin's current economic level is indeed not very good. In fact, this has a lot to do with Guilin's sole reliance on tourism economy. After all, compared with a single economy and a diversified economy, a diversified economy is naturally safer and has more potential. The scenery of Jia Tianxia can naturally attract temporary attention, but if you want better economic development, you must naturally seek more development goals. For Guilin, a once popular city, what do you think of its future development potential? Can a shocking counterattack be achieved?
