Where is the Yangtze River Delta

China Yangtze River and Qiantang River are alluvial deltas where they enter the sea. Including the southeast of Jiangsu Province and Shanghai, and the northeast of Zhejiang Province. It is a part of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It covers an area of about 50,000 square kilometers. The apex of the delta is in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, and the north reaches Xiaoyangkou. South bank of Hangzhou Bay. The elevation is mostly below10m, and the low hills (such as Huishan, Tianpingshan, Yushan and Langshan) are scattered, with an elevation of 200-300m. The annual sediment discharge of the Yangtze River is 400-900 million tons. In general, 28% of the sediment is deposited in the Yangtze River, and in some years it is as high as 78%. The delta continues to extend to the sea. The ancient sand mouths in Changzhou, Changshu, Taicang and Jinshan districts south of the Yangtze River are mostly 4 ~ 6 meters above sea level; The ancient sand mouth in Yangzhou, Taizhou, Taixing and Rugao, north of the Yangtze River, is 7-8 meters above sea level. The ancient sand mouths in Jiangnan and Jiangbei developed gradually after the highest sea level stabilized in the late glacial period. By about 2000, the north bank sand mouth extended to Liaojiaozui, and the south bank sand mouth extended to the southeast with the mainstream of the Yangtze River and connected with the mouth sand mouth of Qiantang River. Sediment continues to accumulate, advancing annually 1958 ~ 1973. It belongs to the northern subtropical monsoon climate, with abundant rainfall, criss-crossing waterways and dotted lakes, and is known as a water town and a country. The land is fertile, and agriculture mainly produces rice, cotton, wheat, rape, peanuts, silk, fish and shrimp. It is one of the most densely populated areas in China. There are many important towns in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and on both sides of the Shanghai-Nanjing line, such as Shanghai, Suzhou, Changzhou, Wuxi, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Nantong, Yancheng and Lianyungang. Among them, Shanghai is the largest industrial and commercial city in China and a world-famous foreign trade port. Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou are scenic spots and emerging industrial cities.

The Yangtze River Delta is a concept with triple significance.

Geographical concept: where the Yangtze River enters the sea, a flat and roughly triangular land is formed due to the continuous deposition of sediment contained in the river. The Wanli Yangtze River flows into the sea from west to east, and the river surges down, and the sediment it carries is constantly deposited in the estuary. After thousands of years, it finally formed an open and broad triangular land.

Concept of industrial economy: the industrial economic belt in southern Jiangsu and northeastern Zhejiang with Shanghai as the leader. This is an economic field with the fastest economic development, the largest economic aggregate and the greatest development potential in China. Statistics in 2004 show that the Yangtze River Delta region accounts for 1% of the national land and 5.8% of the national population, creating 18.7% of GDP, 22% of national fiscal revenue and 18.4% of foreign trade exports.

The Yangtze River Delta Metropolitan Area refers to the fan-shaped alluvial plain formed by the Yangtze River entering the sea, which consists of Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Zhoushan, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Yancheng, Lianyungang and other 18 cities in Zhejiang.

As a unique landscape on the economic map of China, the Yangtze River Delta is attracting more and more attention from all countries in the world. 200 1 year, which accounts for 2.2% of the national territory and 0.4% of the population, has created 22. 1% of the national GDP, 24.5% of the fiscal revenue and 28.5% of the total import and export.

The rapid gathering of international capital and private capital in the Yangtze River Delta is not only expanding in scale, but also promoting the rapid economic development of this region with its unique vitality. According to statistics, from June to September 2003, the GDP of Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi and Ningbo all exceeded 654.38+000 billion yuan, an increase of 654.38+02% over the same period. Shanghai's GDP exceeded 390 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of over 654.38+00%. This rapid economic growth, which is 3 to 5 percentage points higher than the national growth rate, has been maintained in the Yangtze River Delta for many years.

On this land of less than 654.38+10,000 square kilometers, vibrant large-scale urban agglomerations are constantly rising: "super giant" Shanghai, with an annual GDP exceeding/kloc-0.00 billion yuan, ranks first in the country; The annual GDP of "heavyweight giants" Suzhou, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo and Nanjing is 200-500 billion yuan; The annual GDP of "Little Giants" Shaoxing, Nantong, Changzhou, Taizhou and Jiaxing exceeds 654.38+000 billion yuan. The county economy, which brings richness and layering to the "Yangtze River Delta" metropolitan area, is highly competitive. In the ranking of the top 100 counties and cities in China published in June 2005, seven counties and cities (districts) in the Yangtze River Delta entered the top ten. The rise of county economy makes the contiguous urbanization of cities in the Yangtze River Delta possible.

This group of economic giants directly attracted the attention of many world-class economic giants. At present, more than 400 Fortune 500 companies have settled here, of which more than 200 have set up regional headquarters in Shanghai and China headquarters, with 8 1 company and 88 investment projects in Suzhou alone. According to incomplete statistics, the contractual utilization of foreign capital in this region has reached nearly 654.38+05 billion US dollars. The Yangtze River Delta has become a powerful magnetic field to attract international capital and technology.

In the "Yangtze River Delta" metropolitan area, enterprises, as the main force of economic development, take the lead. There are nearly half of the top 100 counties in China, and there are nearly 100 industrial parks with an annual industrial output value exceeding 100 billion yuan. There are thousands of giant enterprises such as Wanxiang Group, Jinshan Petrochemical, Yangzi Ethylene, Volkswagen, Shanghai Bell and Dongfang Communication. Most of these enterprises are large in scale and strong in strength, and their product market share ranks among the best in the country and occupies a place in the international market.

Shanghai is one of the international economic, financial, trade and shipping centers, which has promoted the development of the "Yangtze River Delta" region and the whole Yangtze River basin. 20 10 Shanghai World Expo has brought good opportunities to Shanghai in all aspects, and Shanghai is striving to become a "world city". Shanghai's strong radiation and the rapid development of neighboring cities with access to water have made cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang aware of the importance of regional cooperation. Other cities are trying to find their own urban positioning, looking for opportunities for urban rise in the flow of funds, information, talents and commodities.

Connecting with Shanghai, realizing * * * and promoting economic integration in the Yangtze River Delta have become the knowledge of local governments in the Yangtze River Delta region. Suzhou: near the water tower, surrounded by layout; Wuxi: integrate into integration and seek new development; Nanjing: echoing Shanghai and radiating around; Hangzhou: connecting with Shanghai, dislocation development. Cities around the "Yangtze River Delta" invariably take the linkage with Shanghai as an important strategy. Taking the road and bridge traffic network planning and construction as an opportunity, the Yangtze River Delta is building a "three-hour economic circle".

The trend of great integration has already begun. The joint projects in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai or 16 cities have involved many fields such as transportation, tourism, exhibition, talents, science and technology, information, trademark, credit, quality inspection and environmental protection. We are exploring high-level cooperation and linkage in industrial planning, policies and regulations, and financial services. And "connecting with Shanghai" has gone beyond the significance of a simple investment platform.

Yangtze River Delta integration is a microcosm of economic globalization after China's entry into WTO. The existence of a large number of foreign companies has greatly enhanced the degree of economic internationalization in the Yangtze River Delta region. The whole Yangtze River Delta is becoming a "world factory", and products made in China are constantly moving towards the world from here.

Concept of urban economy: it is an urban agglomeration consisting of 16 cities in the adjacent areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Cities in the Yangtze River Delta include: Shanghai; 8 cities in Jiangsu Province: Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Taizhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Nantong; Seven cities in Zhejiang Province: Hangzhou, Ningbo, Huzhou, Jiaxing, Zhoushan, Shaoxing and Taizhou.

The Yangtze River Delta is the largest opening area in China, with a solid industrial base, developed commodity economy and convenient land and water transportation, and it is the largest foreign trade export base in China.

The Yangtze River is one of the economic open areas in China.
