Jingzhou's economy used to be the fourth in the country, but now why has it become a third-tier city?

I believe many donkey friends have been to Hubei. For Hubei, we may be familiar with Wuhan and Yichang. In fact, there is another city in Hubei, which once ranked behind the first-tier cities such as Beishangguang in the national ranking, and it can also be said to be the pillar of the whole Hubei Province, but now its name has become very inconspicuous and even reduced to a third-tier city. This city is Jingzhou.

People who know the city of Jingzhou may first think of the ancient city of Jingzhou. Jingzhou was also called in ancient times? Jiangling? As a prefecture-level city in Hubei Province, it is located in the hinterland of Hanjiang River, with an area of 1.4 1.000 square kilometers and a very high population density, with a population of 6.9 million in 20 17 years. However, compared with other regions and cities in Hubei, the once brilliant Jingzhou still has a certain gap. In 20 17, Jingzhou's GDP was around192.2 billion, which was very slow compared with the previous growth rate. Why Jingzhou is no longer the leading city in Hubei Province?

Jingzhou has a history of more than three thousand years. This is a riverside city that combines ancient culture and modern civilization. In the early days of the founding of New China, it developed rapidly, and its economic scale once ranked fourth in China. However, with the re-planning and expansion of the city, the development of Jingzhou is not as good as before.

Industry used to be the pillar industry of Jingzhou. In the early days, Jingzhou's GDP stood at a high level in the country by industry. Later, tourism also flourished, attracting a large number of tourists to visit the local area. However, after the expansion of the city, local industries stopped developing in order to protect the environment. In order to rely on the development of tourism and the increase of income, cities began to present business models, and tourism gradually declined.

Without the main income sources of industry and tourism, Jingzhou's GDP began to decline, which became this scene over time. Although the development has become slow and backward, there are still a few people who are full of confidence in Jingzhou's tourism. In addition to some commercial attractions, there are some free places in Jingzhou that are very popular with tourists. For example, Blue Star Island in jiangling county, Jingzhou City, this mysterious island has appeared in the circle of friends of many tourists, with beautiful flowers; Jingzhou New Library in Shabei New District of Jingzhou City has also become a place where many passengers punch in. This library is suitable for study and dating. Besides 600,000 books, there are cinemas, concert halls and cafes. Isn't it interesting?

For Jingzhou, a city that is no longer brilliant, many netizens lamented it. Its history and culture are so long that many people hope it will shine as before. What about you? What do you think of this city?
