Does Tai 'an City in Shandong Province mainly develop tourism?

Speaking of friendly Shandong's two most famous business cards, one is the Confucius Temple in Qufu and the other is Mount Tai, the head of the five mountains. These two major tourist attractions will be included in almost every tourist who travels to Shandong. Especially Mount Tai in Tai 'an, even in the off-season, the number of tourists is getting full day by day. Therefore, the popularity of Taian, which has the advantages of Taishan tourism resources, is also constantly improving. But Taian's economic development in recent years is not very ideal! In 20 19, the total economic output only reached about 280 billion yuan, ranking the hundredth among the top 100 cities in China temporarily, and almost falling out of the top 100 cities in China.

Speaking of Tai 'an, a city with Mount Tai, the most famous tourist attraction in China, although Tai 'an has never been the top in economic development, it ranks in the middle reaches of Shandong Province because of its extremely high tourism economic income. In other words, Tai 'an's status as a city today is absolutely inseparable from its tourism economy.

You may not know much about Taian's annual tourism income. Next, let's look at two numbers. One is that the total economic output of Taian in 20 19 is 288 billion yuan, and the other is that the tourism economic income of Taian is 88 billion yuan. By contrast, one-third of the city's economic income comes from its tourism economic income. In other words, most of Tai 'an's economic and industrial pillars are supported by tourism economy, that is, Mount Tai. But why is Tai 'an the worst tourist city and the most living city in Shandong? Difficult? What about tourist cities?

But obviously, the development prospect of a single city is obviously limited. No, in 20 19, the ranking of cities in Tai 'an dropped rapidly, and several of them stopped at 100, almost excluding them from this list. Besides, Tai 'an still suffers from all the tourist cities? Common diseases? Become a typical city with extremely high prices, high housing prices but low wages. Many local people can hardly make ends meet. Even many people are reluctant to settle in Tai 'an and move to other cities.

All these are stumbling blocks and obstacles to Taian's future economic development. Therefore, Taian, which was rated as a third-tier city not long ago, will return to the ranks of fourth-tier cities and even fall out of the top 100 cities in China. The speed of urban hierarchy change is amazing.
