Currently, the four first-tier cities in my country are: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, with very developed economies. GDP has dominated the top four for many years. In addition to the four first-tier cities, the comprehensive strength of 15 new first-tier cities is also very strong.
China's new first-tier cities have some changes every year. According to the latest data in 2022, the 15 new first-tier cities in 2022 are: Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan, Suzhou , Zhengzhou, Nanjing, Tianjin, Changsha, Dongguan , Ningbo , Foshan , Hefei and Qingdao .

Chongqing's economic growth has been very fast in recent years, and its GDP far exceeds other new first-tier cities. In the first half of 2022, Chongqing's GDP has even surpassed Guangzhou, ranking fourth in the country. Although Chongqing does not have an advantage in geographical location, it has made it a top spot in the national city rankings due to its vast area and large population.
Although Suzhou is only a prefecture-level city and does not even have its own airport, Suzhou's economy is far ahead and can become the strongest prefecture-level city in the country. As a star city in the western region, Chengdu has also performed well in recent years, even far surpassing Nanjing, the capital city of Jiangsu. Although Chengdu is quite controversial online, after Chengdu developed, it not only retained talents from the province, but also attracted outstanding talents from all over the world to stay in Chengdu for development, and also drove the development of Sichuan Province.
Xi'an has also been very popular in recent years and is a very well-known popular tourist city. However, GDP ranks low among new first-tier cities, and there is still a lot of room for development.
