Per capita gdp of Harbin

Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, is a megacity. Known as the "Ice City" and "Oriental Moscow". As the capital city, Harbin's GDP reached 557.63 billion yuan in 2023, ranking the bottom among the "four donkey kong" cities in Northeast China. From the perspective of urban per capita GDP, the first provincial capital city outside the municipality directly under the Central Government is Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, which exceeds 26,000 US dollars, reaching the level of developed countries; Harbin ranks last among 27 provincial capital cities, with only US$ 8,055, which is less than Nanjing's 1/3. Harbin, a city with the reputation of "Little Paris in the East", was once the economic center of China, ranking among the top ten cities in China, and its economic aggregate once ranked eighth in China. However, with the passage of time, Harbin's status has gradually changed, and it has become an underdeveloped capital city in China. Harbin's per capita GDP is only $8,055, ranking 27th among the provincial capital cities in China, even worse than some provincial capital cities in remote western regions. Among all prefecture-level administrative regions in China, Harbin's GDP ranking has also dropped sharply, reaching 2 17. Behind these figures are the challenges that Harbin faces. Harbin, once one of the four largest cities in Northeast China, was also an important industrial base and transportation hub in China in 1980s. However, with the rapid development of China's economy and the adjustment and transformation of its economic structure, many emerging cities have risen rapidly, while Harbin's industrial development has gradually lost its former glory and its economic status has been greatly challenged.
