Is Lijiang, a city rich in tourism and cultural resources, equally strong in economic development?

Since ancient times, many people in Yunnan have been full of illusions about it, wanting to feel its four seasons like spring and its gentle breeze and drizzle. With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, more and more people have begun to realize their dreams of Yunnan, which has greatly promoted the economic development of cities in Yunnan Province, among which the development of Kunming, the provincial capital, is the most obvious. With its superior geographical location and the gradual development of the tertiary industry, its GDP has reached 647.588 billion yuan. Now it has defeated Wuxi and become a new first-tier city in China. However, there is another city in Yunnan province whose reputation even exceeds that of Kunming, but its economic development is extremely slow, making it the least chain-like city in the province. Today, Bian Xiao will take you to see Lijiang, a Yunnan city misunderstood by its fame.

When it comes to the economic development of Yunnan Province, Kunming, the provincial capital, is bound to do its part. When it comes to tourism, Lijiang naturally becomes the best choice. Old Town of Lijiang, one of the three ancient cities in China, has a history of more than 800 years, and its architectural style is mainly Song Dynasty. There are all kinds of carved pavilions and official buildings in the ancient city with mountains and water, and the most one has to take a walk in the square streets and go to the shogunate to experience the shogunate situation a hundred years ago.

There is also Yulong Snow Mountain, because Lijiang is located in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, so the terrain is relatively high, with mountains, rivers and lakes. As a mountain that has not been reached to the top so far, Yulong Snow Mountain is as high as 5596 meters above sea level, which is not only steep, but also covered with snow all year round. The mountains are warm and cold, and the glaciers in the distance and the birds and flowers nearby give people a great visual feast. There are also Shuhe Ancient Town, Bingtalin and Ganhaizi, which bring a large number of tourists to Lijiang. According to incomplete statistics, Lijiang receives 52 million tourists every year and is the most important tourist city in Yunnan Province.

However, even if Lijiang is famous enough and has enough tourists, its economic development is still in the tail of a crane in the province. According to the data, its total economic output is only 47.2438+0 billion yuan, so there is no hurry. The economic development of the next district of Kunming, the provincial capital, is not only the total economic output, but also the per capita GDP of only 36,459, which is less than half of the provincial capital and the lowest in the province. This is extremely inconsistent with its reputation, and it also makes netizens

Lijiang is a favorite city for tourists. Although its current economic development is not ideal, I believe that with the development of its tourism industry, its economic development will also be worthy of its existing popularity. Do you agree?
