Why is it said that there are 30 second-tier cities in total. This is based on this year's ranking of 337 prefecture-level and above cities in the country released by China Business News • New First-tier Cities Research Institute. Before the 30 second-tier cities, there are 4 first-tier cities and 15 new first-tier cities. can enter second-tier cities across the country, and it is also in the leading position in the country, at least the top 50 (not included).
Kunming is far ahead of Dalian. This is probably a fact that many people cannot believe. In the past, Dalian’s benchmark city was Shenzhen. In 1992, 30 years ago, Dalian's GDP reached 27.06 billion yuan, ranking 12th in the country, just like the current star city Ningbo. That year, Shenzhen's GDP was 31.732 billion yuan, ranking 9th. At that time, it really had the strength to benchmark Shenzhen, and it was very possible to catch up.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi", Dalian's economy has been almost at the same place for 10 years. In the past two years, Dalian's economy has begun to pick up. In the first three quarters of this year, Dalian's GDP was 619.13 billion yuan. This economic scale is the largest in the Northeast and is slightly higher than Kunming's 571.194 billion yuan. Why is Kunming far surpassing Dalian? Many people may not understand this. Is it the level of higher education and medicine in Kunming? Or what about transportation advantages? Personally, I think Dalian is not bad, especially in higher education, it is more outstanding than Kunming.
Nanchang No. 16. Nanchang is located in the East China region of my country, to the north of central Jiangxi, on the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River and Fuhe River , with a total area of 7,195 square kilometers and a permanent population of 6.4375 million. In terms of economic development, Nanchang has been "criticized". Whether it is East China or central region , Nanchang, as the provincial capital, is at a downstream level. ranks 16th in second-tier cities, which is also a reflection of Nanchang’s true level.
The last one is Shaoxing
Linyi is close to Lanzhou. At first glance, Linyi is awesome. It is true that although the total GDP is not as good as Weifang and Yantai , it is still higher than these two places in terms of position. Looking again, Linyi's GDP in the first three quarters of this year was 432.067 billion yuan, while Lanzhou's GDP in the same period was only 242.12 billion yuan. This is the advantage of being a provincial capital. Lanzhou's foundation is still very strong. Despite the huge economic shortcomings, it has still entered the second-tier cities in the country.
