The temples above Wujindang Park, Gongjitai, Haichi River, Canglang River Scenic Belt, Lizhong Water Forest Park and the largest famous water temple in the province have become good places for the general public and tourists to relax. Xinghua is rich in products and the people are hardworking. In the era of planned economy, it is a famous commodity grain production base and high-quality cotton base in China. The total output of grain and cotton ranks in the forefront of all counties (cities) in China, and the fresh water product 14 ranks first in Jiangsu Province. Since the new century, Xinghua has made rapid economic and social development. In the third evaluation of the basic competitiveness of county economy in China on June 5438+065438+ 10, 2003, xinghua city ranked among the top 100 in China for the first time with its strong strength, and won the honorary title of "Top Ten Demonstration Counties of National Grain Production" in succession.

Among them, the proven oil reserves in Chenbao area are 6.5438+0.8 million tons, which has reached 300,000 tons at present, and oil production has been carried out one after another near Duotian, bidding farewell to Xinghua's history of no energy.

Xinghua urban and rural construction is changing with each passing day. In accordance with the requirements of "realizing industrialization and promoting urbanization", on the basis of protecting the facilities of the private market, the construction of urban areas and small towns is being carried out in a planned, upgraded, scaled and step-by-step manner (one after another). In the 1990s, on the basis of new town, castle, Zhang Yang, Wu Ying Road and Maqiao Street commercial centers, modern intelligent ecological communities such as Hyde International, Chengtou International and Oriental Paris have emerged one after another, and the new commercial area centered on the splayed bridge on Chang 'an Road corresponds to the commercial area on Wu Ying Road. Su Guo, Lotte Mart, Wuxing Electric, Suning Appliance, Gome and RT Mart successively landed in Xinghua. Jiangsu and Zhejiang Commercial Plaza, Jiangsu Baodu International Mall, Chushui Merchants City and Golden Triangle Market complement each other and jointly create, enrich and prosper Xinghua city market. In contrast, it is distributed in Xinghua (Daiyao) grain market, Xinghua (Shagou) aquatic products market and China Dai Nan stainless steel trading market (Dai Nan). , the transaction volume is among the best in the country, and it has become the main force to prosper Xinghua's urban and rural economy, enhance Xinghua's popularity and serve the construction of new countryside. Dainan Town is the first town in central Jiangsu Province. The stainless steel industrial cluster of three cities and seven towns with Dai Nan as the center is a key project initiated in Jiangsu Province during the 11th Five-Year Plan period. Zhang Guo Town was rated as a national health town and an advanced grass-roots party organization in China. The publicity and promotion activities of "expanding the Zhang Guo effect in Dai Nan" were launched rapidly in the whole province. The construction of Chang 'an New District, with the new administrative center as an important symbol, has realized the grand idea of "stretching the framework in one year, laying the foundation in three years and making a big change in five years". Xinghua's infrastructure is improving day by day. Xinghua used to have a water network, so it was impossible to go out without a boat. Inland Wu Ying Bridge

Traffic is blocked, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there is only one land exit channel-postal salt highway. Comrades who have left Xinghua for a long time have feelings. In the past, it took two days and one night by boat to go to Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, and even Xinghua city had to take a day's boat to the remote Daiyao town. Today, Gaoxingdong Highway is connected with Beijing-Shanghai, quiet Gao Yan, coastal expressway and National Highway 204, while Yan Ning First Class Highway and Xingtai Highway run through the north and south. Now it takes only about half an hour from Xinghua to Taizhou, the provincial capital Nanjing, and four hours to Shanghai. On the basis of reaching the highway from township to township, it is necessary to realize the highway from village to village during the year. In 2003, the Xin (Xinyi)-Chang (Changxing, Zhejiang) Railway passed through Xinghua and set up Xinghua Station in Hechen Town, xinghua city, bidding farewell to the history that Xinghua had no railway. Posts and telecommunications, wired wires are all over urban and rural areas. With the synchronous development of power facilities and economy, Xinghua ranks first among counties (cities) in central Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu for several years. Zhengri International Hotel and Tianbao Hotel under construction add a beautiful landscape to Xinghua. Not long ago, Sheraton Hotel successfully received He Guoqiang, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and head of the Central Organization Department, and his party. Fast transportation, convenient communication, convenient water and electricity, and thoughtful service have inserted wings for attracting investment and leaping development. Xinghua prospers the city through science and education, with simple teaching style and talented people. Since the implementation of revitalizing the city through science and education, it has owned 6 national spark and torch projects, 3 provincial high-tech enterprise products 10, and has been listed as the national pilot teacher of "enriching the people and strengthening the county through science and technology" and the engineering technology research center of special alloy products in Jiangsu Province. There are 204 full-time primary and secondary schools in the city, including experimental primary schools 1, 3 demonstration junior high schools and 2 four-star high schools.
