Because of the project of the Danjiangkou Water Control Project and the merger of the in Yunyang and Xiangyang areas, from 1960 to 1962, Junxian (Danjiangkou) and Guanghua County ( Laohekou ) merged, After the restoration of the county administrative system, the county was stationed in Danjiang Town. From this moment on, Yunyang area vigorously supported Junxian (Danjiangkou), and many factories and enterprises were relocated from Yunxian (Yang) to Danjiang. Such as: Yunyang area shipping bureau, Yunyang area second base station, Yunyang area meat joint factory, Yunyang area oil company, and even Yunyang Teachers College, the only university in Yunyang area, all moved to Danjiangkou. In the 1990s, Yunyang The hemp and cotton textile mills in Yang area and the paper mills in Yunyang area are continuing. The former Yunyang area administrative office has the intention of moving to Danjiangkou, which shows the importance Yunyang area paid to Junxian resident Danjiangkou at the beginning. Danjiangkou at that time was indeed extraordinary. In addition to the above-mentioned Yunyang regional-level factories and enterprises, a number of central enterprises, such as the Danjiangkou Project Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Water Resources (now Hanjiang Group), Wenhua 605 Factory, and the Fifth Geological Team, have all taken root in Danjiangkou. At the beginning, outside of Xiangfan (now Xiangyang) in northwestern Hubei, Danjiangkou was a water and land transportation hub, and it was a rare town in the country with a train connection and a large water and land wharf. Maybe it was God’s intention to be fair. In that era of planned economy, and because of the special geographical location of Danjiangkou, the development of Danjiang Town was limited. Chenjiagang (Nianjiang), which crosses the bridge from Guandian to Danjiangkou Xingang long-distance station, belongs to Guanghua County. Many factories and enterprises are crowded into the small town of Danjiang. While creating prosperity, they are even more lagging behind. The prosperity of Danjiang Town is only for a short period of time. With the rise of Second Automobile (now Dongfeng Group) in Shiyan, the once glorious Danjiang Town has lost its scenery. Liuliping , Wudangshan , Dingjiaying , Langhe and other important towns in the south of the Yangtze River are far away, separated by Han River , and the pattern of entering the Laohekou boundary of Xiangyang and then entering the city is destined to be Dan. Jiang Town developed slowly. As mentioned earlier, there used to be a bridge between the second bridge of the Danjiangkou of the Hanjiang River and the dam. It was rebuilt after 30 years of flooding. Entering the Danjiangkou from the direction of Shiyan has to pass through the boundary of the Laohekou. Before 1994, Chenjiagang Village belonged to the Laohekou. In addition, the bad traffic conditions such as Catalpa tree and Daliangzi (mountain package) seriously restrict the development of Danjiang Town. At the beginning, Junxian County was unable to build bridges by itself, and at the same time, considering the current situation that the subordinate enterprises of Danjiangkou Engineering Administration were all located in Danjiang Town and also formed a scale, the county seat should be moved from Danjiang Town to the south of Sanguan Hall (now the new city on the right bank). The original Danjiang Town is retained, mainly serving the Danjiangkou Engineering Bureau, and the new urban area can be used as the county seat and the regional administrative office. After 30 years of development, it can reach the size of a city with a medium population. In 1994, the prefecture and city merged, and Danjiangkou may be merged with Yun The merger of Yangzhou area also has the opportunity to establish a prefecture-level city independently. Whether it is the urban function to serve the south of the Yangtze River, or the service of the central water transfer project, it has a complete system. Now, after more than 10 years of construction, the new city on the right bank still has a small population and few institutions. Although the pattern of "one river and two banks" has been formed, it has no substantive significance, because how sad it is to have an empty city without people! Thirty years later, Danjiangkou is still in its youth.Although very energetic, but no achievement, what kind of failure? It is necessary to review the rise and fall of Danjiangkou over the past 30 years. Personally, two people are responsible for causing Danjiangkou to miss the golden period of development. First, from Junxian County to Danjiangkou City 's chief officials, they did not have the correct direction. The culprit behind the slow development of Danjiangkou; the second is that some local people in Danjiangkou are civil servants in some institutions in Danjiangkou (from Junxian County to Danjiangkou City). It is precisely because of these locals that they are not enterprising and self-righteous, which is the root cause of the lack of vitality in Danjiangkou city.
In 2019, the Seiwu High Speed Rail Danjiangkou South Station was opened in Jinshan. The area between Danjiangkou city and Jinshan is mountainous. Although there is convenient transportation, the urban area cannot be expanded rationally. According to the historical mission of Danjiangkou, if Danjiangkou is no longer related to Wudang Mountain Docking and using the South-to-North Water Diversion Project to vigorously develop the landscape tourism economy, the Danjiangkou is over!
