J?nk?ping, the hinterland of Tianfu in Sweden’s tourism industry

J?nk?ping is the capital of the Swedish province of J?nk?ping. It is located in the southern hinterland of Sweden, east of the province of V?stergland, between the capital Stockholm and the second largest city Gothenburg. During the period, J?nk?ping was located close to the southern part of Vetternsee, Sweden's second largest lake. The J?n in J?nk?ping's name comes from Juneb?cken, a small bay in the west of the current city, while k?ping means town in Swedish.

J?nk?ping Province was formed in the 13th century and was separated from Kronoberg Province in 1687. The province has beautiful scenery, with a forest coverage rate of 63%. There are more than 2,000 large and small lakes in the province, including Sweden's second largest lake - Lake Vitern. The overall geographical location of J?nk?ping Province is superior, with up to 80% of Sweden's population gathered within a radius of 350 kilometers with J?nk?ping city as the center. J?nk?ping Province has convenient transportation, with European Highway 4 running through it from north to south. It is regarded as an ideal material turnover base. Major companies such as IKEA, El-Giganten, Jysk and Electrolux Distriparts have set up distribution centers in the province.

J?nk?ping is an ancient trading center, originally built at the intersection of the Nissan and Lagan river sections, which also connect the two provinces of ?sterg?tland and V?sterg?tland. In addition, Lake Wittern, located in the north of J?nk?ping, also separates the two neighboring provinces, which to a certain extent promotes J?nk?ping's role as a transportation hub. In 1284, J?nk?ping was granted the right to establish a city by the then king Magnus Ladul?s, becoming one of the first legally recognized city-states in Sweden.

However, J?nk?ping's geographical location makes it difficult for the city to resist attacks from the outside. At that time, the three provinces of Sk?ne, Halland and Blekinge in southern Sweden were still under the rule of the Danish Kingdom, and the Danes could attack J?nk?ping through the southern waterway. Therefore, since the founding of J?nk?ping, the town was sacked and burned by Danish troops several times until Sweden established fortifications here in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

J?nk?ping’s economic growth rate ranks among the top in Sweden, and it has industries such as papermaking, electronics, information, and machinery. J?nk?ping was famous for its match industry in the 19th century and is still one of Sweden's important logistics centers. The eastern part of the province is the base for wood processing and the production of aluminum products, while the southwestern part is mainly responsible for the production of plastics, metal and rubber products. The J?nk?ping Elmia Trade Expo and Conference Center is the largest exhibition center in Northern Europe, with a total area of ??35,000 square meters. More than 20 large-scale expos are held here every year, including the famous Elmia wood trade fair.

Jonkoping is also famous for its numerous small and medium-sized enterprises in Sweden. Take the small town of Gnosj? in this province as an example. The town has only more than 10,000 residents, but it has 350 successful companies. This entrepreneurial spirit that focuses on cooperation and innovation, dares to meet challenges, is positive and optimistic, and is full of vitality has become Sweden's famous "Gnosj? spirit" and has been passed down from generation to generation as a glorious tradition in J?nk?ping Province.

J?nk?ping has developed education, and J?nk?ping University is famous in Sweden. A science and technology park has been built near the school to encourage students to start businesses. J?nk?ping also houses the J?nk?ping International Business School, the only international school in Sweden dedicated to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
