What do the three districts and three states refer to?

The "Three Regions and Three Prefectures" are the core areas of the economically underdeveloped regions in western China, mainly including the three reserve military regions of Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai in the northwest, and the three prefectures of Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan in the southwest. These areas occupy a priority position in the country's poverty alleviation and development. Although economic development has made progress, there is still a large gap compared with the eastern region and they face ecological challenges.

In order to promote the development of these areas, the Chinese government has introduced a series of supportive policies, including tax incentives and investment in infrastructure construction. For example, companies can enjoy preferential treatment when investing in the "three districts and three states", and the government invests in improving transportation networks, such as highways and railways, to enhance inter-regional connectivity.

Rich tourism resources are another major advantage of the "three districts and three states". The government has promoted the diversified development of the local economy by supporting tourism, such as Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Lijiang Ancient City and other attractions. But at the same time, these areas also face serious environmental problems, such as soil erosion and desertification. The government is actively promoting ecological protection projects and seeking green development paths in order to achieve a win-win situation for ecology and economy.

In the future, the "three districts and three states" are expected to show a positive development trend driven by the country's overall economic development and policy support. Despite the many challenges currently faced, the government's determination and actions herald a bright future for these regions, which is expected to accelerate the rise of the western region. In general, as representatives of economically underdeveloped areas, the "three districts and three states" have huge development potential and will develop in a more balanced and sustainable direction in the future.
