Since the end of the 70s of the last century, China implemented the national policy of reform and opening up, now more than 40 years have passed, the economy of all parts of the country has shown different degrees of rapid development, but to mention that in the reform and opening up of the first thought of dividends is not located in the coastal areas of Guangdong this small fishing village Shenzhen is no, you know that before the reform and opening up, Shenzhen is a rather dilapidated small fishing village, many local residents are relying on fishing and hunting for a living, and with the full advent of reform and opening up, After seizing the huge development opportunity, Shenzhen has become a megacity in Guangdong Province that surpasses the provincial capital Guangzhou.
In fact, in addition to Guangdong, in recent years, Zhejiang Province has also developed quite well, but now there is no super large city in Zhejiang Province that can represent the spiritual outlook of the entire Zhejiang Province, so some netizens have proposed why not merge the two cities in the province to form a super large city, and build it into the next Shenzhen located in the eastern region of China.
After fully studying many prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang Province, Xiaobian found that the most promising cities in Zhejiang Province in the future are the two cities of Ningbo and Zhoushan, which belong to the same coastal zone, although Ningbo is now the second largest economic city in Zhejiang Province after Hangzhou, but in the whole country it is a rather low-key existence, whether it is population size, tourism resources or economic prospects in the country, it is almost the end of existence.
If you want to build the next Shenzhen in the eastern region of Zhejiang, the best object of its merger is the former good subordinate Zhoushan, as we all know, Zhoushan was directly under the jurisdiction of Ningbo City in that year, whether it is economic development model, language, cultural customs seem to have a common topic, so once the two cities merge in the future, it is definitely expected to become the new "Shenzhen" in the east of Zhejiang Province.
Below we may wish to explore the future two cities in the future after the formal merger of the two cities to become a megacity in Zhejiang Province, as we all know, Ningbo is not only one of the planned cities in China, but also a sub-provincial city of Zhejiang Province, coupled with the geographical location is quite superior, but also a typical Jiangnan water town harbor city, in recent years, just tourism income, has already earned a full pot, Coupled with the fact that the southern end of China's Grand Canal is located in Ningbo, countless maritime trade has also poured from Ningbo to the world.
In recent years, with the continuous construction, Ningbo's various types of industries have also achieved balanced and perfect development, only in 2019 Ningbo's GDP has been close to 120,000 billion yuan in scale, is such a prefecture-level city, its overall economic strength far exceeds the neighboring provincial capitals, such as the neighboring Anhui provincial capital Hefei in 2020 The total GDP of more than one trillion yuan.
Zhoushan City in 2019 GDP is only 1,372 billion yuan, compared to Ningbo City is only about 1/9 of it, but because of the same language as Ningbo City, so the difficulty of the future merger can be said to be minimal, in fact, in recent years, near the major provinces have appeared a strong provincial capital of this trend, such as Guangzhou in order to promote the overall development of Guangzhou, it decided to implement the same city of Guangzhou and Foshan, Shandong, as China's third largest economic strong province, also decided to merge Jinan and Laiwu, It can be seen that in recent years, in order to enhance their competitiveness, there has been a major trend of mergers in various provinces.
Although in the future, after the formal merger of Ningbo and Zhoushan, its overall strength is far less than that of Shenzhen, but due to the difference between the two cities in the economic development model, I believe that in the future, after the formal merger, it will also achieve the complementarity of various resources, which will produce huge development potential, and it is not impossible to become the next Shenzhen in the eastern region of China, but for the merger of Ningbo and Zhoushan cities in the future, many netizens are not optimistic, after all, there is no precedent for the merger of two prefecture-level cities after the founding of China. What do you think of this?
