Ranking of the best tourist cities in China

In 2005, the ranking of China's top 10 tourist destination cities gradually stabilized compared with 2004. The top 10 cities in 2005 were Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, and Nanjing. , Qingdao and Tianjin, they are exactly the same as the top 10 list in 2004, with only slight changes in seating. The top 10 can be roughly divided into four levels. Specifically, the top two, namely Beijing and Shanghai, still have a superior status that no city can shake, and they belong to the well-deserved first level; among the 3rd to 5th places, Guangzhou has gradually declined. , fell out of the top 3 and ranked 5th; Hangzhou and Shenzhen improved steadily, each moving up one place; and the rankings of 6-8 are extraordinary. Nanjing, Wuhan, and Chengdu in 2004 became Chengdu, Wuhan, and Nanjing in 2005; more coincidentally, Tianjin and Qingdao, which were ranked 9-10 in 2004, also fell down in 2005. For Qingdao and Tianjin, Qingdao ranks 9th in the top 10 list. The above rankings are mainly based on the total number of room nights booked in each city from January 1 to December 31, 2005, and refer to the booking data of related vacation products. Analysis 1: Qingdao’s tourism industry is ready for development. Qingdao is always described as "beautiful" in people's traditional impression. The pure and beautiful pictures of blue sky and blue sea are completely in line with people's yearning for a seaside city. There are the best bathing beaches here, the earliest aquarium in China, and the more famous "famous mountain on the sea - Laoshan". Coincidentally, as famous as Qingdao's sea charm is the group of Chinese brand-name enterprises rooted here. At the 2005 China Independent Innovation and Brand High-Level Forum and China Brand Economy City Summit, Qingdao was awarded the title of "Chinese Brand Capital". It has 11 well-known Chinese trademarks and 44 types of Chinese famous brand products (the number ranks second in the country after Shanghai). Qingdao, home to two world-famous Chinese products, appears to be very confident both in business and tourism. If Qingdao can make more efforts in tourism, culture and attractions, I believe its ranking will naturally rise. Qingdao took the 29th "Meet the Olympics, Sailing Qingdao" Olympic Sailing Competition as an opportunity to promote the city's brand environment from the aspects of city image, investment promotion and tourism promotion, which is a representative demonstration of Qingdao's business and tourism The ability to integrate harmoniously and interactively. Analysis 2: Hangzhou ranks among the top three. In recent years, as Hangzhou's own economic strength continues to increase, Hangzhou is gradually transforming from a pure tourist city to a city where business and tourism go hand in hand. Apart from the "Paradise on Earth", "City of Culture", "House of Silk", "Capital of Tea", "Land of Fish and Rice" and many other names, when we look at Hangzhou, the good performance of many "hard indicators" presents us with a Hangzhou is developing rapidly: its economic aggregate ranks second among provincial capital cities and third among sub-provincial cities in the country for many years. Its urban competitiveness is second only to Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Beijing, ranking fifth among cities nationwide. The impact of the Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, which has attracted many Fortune 500 companies, on Hangzhou is becoming increasingly apparent. Hangzhou, where six "industrial chains" of communications, software, integrated circuits, digital TV, animation, and online games are beginning to take shape, is nurturing the birth of a "Silicon Valley of Paradise." The tourism industry for which Hangzhou is famous has also been driven by economic development and has skillfully played the role of system development and overall planning. Whether it is the repair and maintenance of famous scenic spots or the introduction and development of new scenic spots, everything seems natural and Coordinated and effective. Analysis 3: Chengdu is steadily developing its leisure tourism brand. As a tourist city, Chengdu has always had no shortage of tourism resources. The historical sites and historical sites, the intoxicating natural scenery around it, and even the world-famous Chengdu delicious food all make people forget to leave. But in recent years, it seems that what makes people look at Chengdu with admiration is its nickname of "City of Leisure". In 2005, Chengdu received more than 500,000 inbound overnight tourists, a year-on-year increase of 22.36%. Tourism foreign exchange revenue was US$176 million, a year-on-year increase of 25.65%; it received 36.1963 million domestic tourists, a year-on-year increase of 12.57%; the total tourism revenue was 28.675 billion yuan. , a year-on-year increase of 25.53%. Such favor is due not only to the authentic inheritance of the "Land of Abundance", but also to the comprehensive strength of Chengdu that is quietly advancing. Quietly, the number of Fortune 500 companies settled in Chengdu has reached 100. 2005 was the year with the largest number of Fortune 500 companies settling in Chengdu, and the number of Fortune 500 companies reached 100. This is an important threshold, marking Chengdu's increasingly important position in the strategies of multinational companies. Analysis 4: It is difficult for Shenzhen and Guangzhou’s tourism industry to achieve eye-catching performance. Shenzhen and Guangzhou, which are ranked before Chengdu, have strong capabilities. However, as representatives of time-honored southern cities, they always feel a bit "low-key" and have lost their former glory. It is difficult to say whether this is passive helplessness or subjective motivation. missing. Whether it is Guangzhou or Shenzhen, it seems that they can easily occupy a place in the top 10, but they always seem to have no eye-catching performance to become a high-profile tourist star city. Perhaps it is imperative to treat the city's tourism industry with a more pragmatic and highly concerned attitude. Analysis 5: Other cities. Wuhan and Nanjing, which are ranked closely behind Chengdu, are equally strong and cannot be underestimated. Taking Nanjing as an example, both the successful hosting of the 10th National Games and the completion of the new Nanjing Railway Station have added a lot to the charm of Nanjing's city.

Tianjin neither lacks historical accumulation nor strong economic vitality. What Tianjin needs to create for itself is a city card with more distinctive personality and characteristics. In addition, tourist cities outside the top 10 such as Xi'an, Chongqing and Xiamen are gradually approaching the top 10. The rankings of Dalian and Suzhou have declined slightly. Compared with cities in the top 10, competition among cities outside the top 10 seems to be more intense. Looking at the ranking of China's top 10 tourist destination cities in 2005, the stable pattern is still absolute. However, the performance of cities such as Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Qingdao is still impressive. The correlation between economic vitality and the tourism industry is getting closer and closer. The charm or comprehensive strength of a city is often a collection of multiple elements. The tourism industry in 2005, which is stable but slightly changing, reflects this.
