Once "Guilin's landscape was the best in the world", why didn't Guilin's tourism industry develop as before?

As we all know, speaking of the most famous city in Guangxi, I believe most people will think of Guilin first, just like Bian Xiao. The beauty of Guilin's landscape is hard to describe in words, and even literary masters can only describe one tenth of it. Therefore, for a long time, Guilin was even more famous than Guangxi. But such a tourism economy is so good, but now it is only a third-tier city. Xiamen, which has a very similar development path, has left Guilin far behind. What do you know about Guilin? Bian Xiao can say that this city has become the most depressed city in Guangxi. Have you ever been to Guilin? How much do you know about Guilin's current economic development?

Speaking of Guilin, I believe many people are familiar with its charming scenic spots. But how much do you know about its development history? In fact, Guilin is just an ordinary prefecture-level city now. But before that, Guilin's urban status in Guangxi was very high. It was even the capital for more than 500 years. At this time, it is the highlight of Guilin's development, with developed economy, respected status and beautiful scenery. Naturally, many other tourists are eager for it.

However, with the development of the times, Guilin's status as a city is not what it used to be, and its economic aggregate is not the same as that of Nanning, the provincial capital, and Liuzhou, which is famous for its industry. In Guangxi, a city with average economic development, it only ranks third, which makes people sad. Guilin has become the lowest-key city in Guangxi.

Moreover, there is no trace of Guilin in the top 100 cities of China 20 19. Obviously, compared with Nanning and Liuzhou, the economic level of Guilin today is really not very good. In fact, this has a lot to do with Guilin's local dependence on tourism economy. After all, compared with the diversified economy, the single economy is naturally more secure and has more potential. The scenery of the world can naturally attract the attention of the moment, but if you want better economic development, you must naturally seek more development goals. What do you think of the future development potential of Guilin, a once popular city? Can we achieve a shocking counterattack?
