The most populous city in the central region, with a permanent population of 12.6 million, what is the charm?
The central region includes six major provinces, namely Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi, and Hunan. According to the Seventh Census Data, the population of the central region of is approximately 365 million, accounting for 25.83% of the total population of China . Although the central region has a large population, its distribution is uneven. For example, Ganzhou, with a total area of nearly 40,000 square kilometers, has a population of only over 8.97 million . This is not the case with the most populous city in the central region. Its area is only 7446 square kilometers, but its permanent population is more than 12.6 million .
Speaking of the most populous city in the central region, people may first think of the three cities of Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and Changsha. According to the 7th census data, has a permanent population of 12.06 million in Zhengzhou, a permanent population of 12.326 million in Wuhan, and a permanent population of 10.0479 million in Changsha . They are the only three cities in the central region of with a population of over 10 million. Among them, Zhengzhou is the most populous city and the most populous city in the central region . In recent years, the population of Zhengzhou has increased rapidly. Compared with the data of the Sixth Census, the population of Zhengzhou has increased by 3,974,100 in ten years by , an increase of 46.07%, with an average annual growth rate of 3.86%.
In fact, ten years ago, that is, 2010, Zhengzhou was not the most populous city in Henan Province. At that time, the most populous city in Henan Province was Nanyang, with a population of over 10 million. The specific data is 10.263 million people. Due to the slow economic development of Nanyang and the rise of surrounding big cities,As a result, the population loss of Nanyang is more. Zhengzhou, with its accumulated accumulation, has become the most populous city in the province from obscurity. Zhengzhou has a large population due to the following reasons.
First of all, economic reasons . Zhengzhou is a new first-tier city and the only capital city in Henan Province. It is the economic, political, and cultural center of the province, and it is also the most developed city in the province. In 2020, Zhengzhou's GDP is 1,2003 billion yuan, ranking third among the six provincial capital cities in the central region, second only to Wuhan and Changsha, and a difference of only more than 10 billion yuan from Changsha . Driven by the trend of strong provincial capitals, Zhengzhou Dayou has developed into a "dominant family" trend. It is believed that Zhengzhou will surpass Changsha in a few years and become the second largest economic city in the central region.
Secondly, the traffic reason is . Zhengzhou is known as "the city drawn by trains" and "the heart of China's railways" . It is the only "double cross" center in 's national ordinary railway and high-speed railway network, and has the largest freight wagon marshalling station in Asia. . The Longhai Railway and the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway form a cross junction in Zhengzhou, laying the foundation for Zhengzhou's extensive transportation. From Zhengzhou, can reach any capital city in the country, even Haikou in Hainan Province . Hainan is surrounded by the sea on all sides, separated from the mainland by the sea, but the train can take the ferry, and it can also reach Hainan.
Then,Historical and cultural reasons . Zhengzhou does not feel like an ancient capital, but it is indeed one of China's eight ancient capitals. It has been the capital five times in history. Zhengzhou is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization, a member of the World Historical City Alliance, a national historical and cultural city, etc.. There are many historical and cultural relics in the territory. There are nearly ten thousand immovable cultural relics in . The historical buildings and Grand Canal in the world. History and culture are the soul of a place, and a place without history and culture is incomplete. Zhengzhou has a profound historical and cultural heritage, which is one of the reasons why people like it.
Finally, the scenic spot . As an excellent tourist city in China, Zhengzhou has the most indispensable tourist attractions. It has a large number of historical and cultural landscapes and rich natural landscapes. Shaolin Temple, known as "the world's first temple", the earliest astronomical observatory in China, the oldest Taoism temple Zhongyue Temple, one of China's four major academies Songyang Academy and so on, all located in Zhengzhou, they are all the scenic spots of Zhengzhou. A place has a large population, not necessarily because of the economy, but also because of tourism. After all, not many people in the world can refuse the temptation of beautiful scenery.
Zhengzhou, the most populous city in the six central provinces,With the third economy in Central China and the first transportation in Central China, it has a profound cultural heritage, beautiful scenery, and more importantly, rapid economic development. It is precisely because of this that it can attract a large population of people, and I believe that Zhengzhou will develop better in the future.
