Changjitu Development_Yanlongtu will be merged into prefecture-level Yanji City

Yes, it will be implemented soon! The merged Yanji City is divided into Yanji District, Longjing District and Tumen District.

After the State Council approved the establishment of the Changjitu Development and Opening Pilot Zone, the development and construction of the eastern part of Jilin Province is particularly important. The integration of resources in Yanlongtu is urgent, and the integration of the three cities has become a reality.

1. Introduction to Jilin Province

Jilin Province is located in the middle of Northeast China and is an inland, border and offshore province. It is connected to Russia and North Korea by land, and faces Japan and South Korea across the sea. It covers an area of ??187,400 square kilometers, has a population of 27.34 million, and its GDP in 2008 was 642.4 billion yuan, accounting for approximately 2% of the country's total. Jilin Province is an important industrial base and commercial grain production base in my country. It is the province that produces the most cars and has the highest grain commodity rate in the country. The ecological environment is excellent, with a forest coverage rate of 42.5%, making it a good place for human habitation. From the perspective of the development pattern of the province, the eastern part of Jilin Province is a mountainous area, the central plains, and the western grasslands. The economic characteristics of the plate are very obvious. The total amount of the eastern and western parts may not be large, but the characteristics of resource economy, characteristic economy, and environmental economy are very prominent. It is an important part of Jilin Province’s economic development and cannot be ignored.

2. Review of Yanbian History

Yanbian Prefecture has eight counties and cities, far away from the provincial capital and adjacent to Russia and North Korea. It is an independent economic region and should have its own central city. However, due to institutional constraints, the state level itself is empty. Yanji City, where the state capital is located, is at the same level as other counties and cities. The problems faced by those who want to become a central city are that the level is not enough (it should be a prefecture-level city) and the scale is small (it should be a prefecture-level city). With a population of more than one million), it is difficult to control the relationship with the state level and other counties and cities, and cannot play a good role in agglomeration and radiation. In particular, the administrative divisions of the three cities of Yanlongtu have resulted in the formulation of regional development and industrial layout policies that cannot be scientific, unified, reasonable, and efficient. As a result, various resources in the three cities cannot be fully and rationally used, and regional economic development cannot be achieved. Balanced and uncoordinated.

From a historical perspective, 50 years ago, Yanji, Longjing and Tumen, which all belonged to the old "Yanji County", were separated one after another for development and became three independent county-level cities. Longjing and Yanji are both located in the Yanji Basin and were originally a whole in history. In 1953, Yanji, the seat of Yanbian Prefecture, was separated and established as a county-level city; in 1965, Tumen City was also separated to facilitate exchanges between Tumen and a port city in North Korea. Half a century later, the three cities sought to merge again, and the reason was also for development. In 1985, Yanji was a star city in economic development in the early days of reform and opening up. Among county-level cities of the same size in the country, it ranked second in various major economic indicators. Suzhou ranked first at that time. Dandong City, Liaoning Province, which is also the Linchao port, has various indicators far behind. However, due to the differences between county-level cities and prefecture-level cities, Yanji's development is restricted. Today's Dandong and Suzhou have already left Yanji behind. There is no need to argue about how Yanji can grow bigger and become a regional central city. The formation of "Greater Yanji" after the merger of the three cities is a matter of course. The integration of Yanlongtu into one city will change the restriction that ethnic autonomous prefectures cannot establish prefecture-level cities. Relevant national departments are actively formulating arrangements to conduct pilot projects in ethnic autonomous prefectures, and Yanlongtu has been included in the sight.

3. Yanlongtu merged and upgraded to a prefecture-level city

Now with Yanji as the center, Longjing and Tumen are both within the half-hour economic circle, and can be treated as one city . The three cities of Yanji, Longjing and Tumen are all inhabited by ethnic minorities in terms of ethnic composition. Yanji City has a population of 495,000, with Koreans accounting for 59%; Longjing City has a population of 280,000, accounting for 67%; and Tumen City has a population of 280,000, accounting for 67%. There are 150,000 people, and Koreans account for 58%. This similarity in ethnic composition provides a realistic basis for the integration and development of the three cities.

Yanji City is the capital of Yanbian Prefecture. It is the political, economic and cultural center of the whole prefecture. It has a good industrial foundation, but its land area is insufficient and there is no port. Urban expansion and economic development are greatly restricted. Longjing City has a large area and rich resources, but its industrial foundation is weak and the industrial agglomeration effect is low. Tumen City has convenient transportation and is one of the only two border port cities in the country with roads and railways connected to North Korea. However, its small area and unreasonable economic structure make development difficult. Only the complementary advantages of the three cities will be conducive to their common development. The urban expansion of Yanji City and the development of Longjing and Tumen require the three cities to achieve integration. The three cities should provide intra-city treatment in terms of personnel mobility. Yanji City has a land area of ??1,350.2 square kilometers, accounting for 3.16% of the total area of ??Yanbian Prefecture, and a population of nearly 400,000, accounting for 20% of the total population of Yanbian. Yanji, an economically leading city, is greatly restricted in terms of development space, economy, administrative authority, and equal status in foreign exchanges because it is a county-level city. Yanji took this opportunity to put forward a request to be upgraded to a prefecture-level city: merge the three cities of Yan, Long, and Tumen into one city, change the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture to the Yanbian Korean Autonomous City, set the municipal government in Yanji, and merge the two cities of Longjing and Tumen. Each exists as a zone. Reasonably divide the functions of the three regions: for high-tech projects, they should be concentrated in Yanji; for centralized heating projects, the heat sources of Yanji City can be placed in Longjing District, which can reduce costs and increase the total economic output of Longjing District. It can reduce environmental pollution in Yanji urban area and other multiple effects; for export processing projects, they can be concentrated in Tumen District. After the merger, many roads connecting the three places will be built.

Such as Tumen Yueqing to Yanji Xiaohelong, Tumen Mopanshan to Yanji Xidong, etc. The construction of the main urban area of ??Yanji will further expand westward to connect with Chaoyangchuan Town of Longjing in the west of Yanji, while the construction of the main urban area of ??Longjing City in the south of Yanji will gradually move closer to the north, and the construction of the main urban area of ??Tumen City in the southeast of Yanji will Head northwest. First of all, integration should be achieved in aspects such as household registration, social security, and personnel wages. Road tolls, mutual taxi traffic, unified telecommunications charging standards, financial loans and intra-city settlement between the three places. At present, all work is being carried out in an orderly manner. The Yanji Municipal Government will be relocated to the west of the park, and the Yanji Airport will be rebuilt in Qingta Hall.

The development positioning of the merged "Dayanji" is: Northeast Asia's economic cooperation frontier and border trade export processing base; China's ethnic minority autonomous prefecture system reform pilot demonstration zone; China's Changbai Mountain and Korean ethnic cultural tourism comprehensive service base ; Northeastern District's first ecological garden livable area with the natural culture of Changbai Mountain and Korean national culture; forming a new central city in the eastern part of Jilin Province; developing into an international metropolis with a population of millions by 2020!
