Why is the economic development of Shaoguang City in Guangdong at a standstill?

Area and population are necessary conditions for the development of a city, but they are not the only conditions. The area and population of a region will affect the economic development of a city, but it does not mean that the larger the area and population, the faster the economic development of a city. Just like Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, it is the most populous and largest city in Jiangxi Province, but it is still far from Nanchang, the provincial capital.

Another is Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, with an area of 182 18 square kilometers, equivalent to 16 of Hong Kong, but its GDP is less than15 billion yuan, which is called the most difficult city in Guangdong by netizens because of its slow economic development. Today, Bian Xiao will come with you to see the Hewei city in Guangdong. Although the cultural background is profound, the economic development is still stagnant, Shaoguan!

The most famous cities in Guangdong are Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and other economically developed cities. Except these cities, the economic development of other cities in Guangdong is relatively slow. The province's per capita GDP is only over 90,000, less than half that of Shenzhen. Therefore, apart from this glamorous appearance, Guangdong Province is actually one of the regions with the biggest gap between the rich and the poor in China. Shaoguan is one of the most representative cities. Although this city has a history of more than 2,000 years and profound cultural heritage, its per capita GDP is only 44,000 yuan, which is a far cry from Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other cities, even less than half that of Guangdong Province.

Although Shaoguan is located in the north of Guangdong Province, bordering Jiangxi in the east, Hunan in the north and Guangzhou in the south, it gradually became an important heavy industry base in Guangdong in the 1970s due to its vast cultivated land and relatively backward economy. Now, under the background of economic transformation, it has not been transformed in time, which has led to the stagnation of economic development and become the most backward city in Guangdong. However, Shaoguan, as a city with more than 2,000 years of cultural accumulation, also has good tourism resources. Danxia Mountain, Paleolithic Maba Man Site, limestone caves, ancient Buddha rocks and many other natural landscapes that have experienced the baptism of historical storms will become the biggest capital for Shaoguan to develop tourism.

Although Shaoguan is still in a difficult period of heavy industry transformation, I believe that after the successful transformation, driven by high-tech industries and tourism, Shaoguan will shine its due light and become the most dazzling star in Guangdong Province.
