In this era of information explosion, it seems that every once in a while, a new "Internet celebrity city" will emerge, quickly attracting the public's attention with some short-lived hot spots and traffic. However, such "Internet celebrities" are often short-lived, and after a short period of prosperity, they will fall silent. A real Internet celebrity city must not only have an instantaneous light, but also have a lasting charm and profound heritage. In my opinion, there are only four such cities – Chongqing, Xi'an, Chengdu and Suzhou.
First, let's talk about Chongqing.
The city attracts countless tourists with its unique geography and rich gastronomic culture. From a high vantage point, Chongqing looks like a realistic version of a 3D city, with a patchwork of buildings and winding streets. And the food here is even more unforgettable, hot pot, small noodles, strings of incense...... Every dish can make people feel the warmth and charm of Chongqing. Visitors can also experience the city's culture and lifestyle while tasting the food.
In terms of transportation, Chongqing also performed well. Whether it's a subway, bus, or taxi, it makes it easy for tourists to reach their destination. In particular, Chongqing's investment in transportation infrastructure in recent years has made the city's transportation network more complete and provided great convenience for tourists.
From the perspective of GDP, Chongqing's economic strength should not be underestimated. Chongqing's GDP in 2023 will be 3.01 trillion yuan, and in 2023, the city will receive 103 million overnight tourists, a year-on-year increase of 88.1%; The added value of the city's tourism and related industries reached 120.682 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.5%, accounting for 4.0% of the city's GDP. As an important city in southwest China, Chongqing has a strong economic development momentum, especially in tourism and manufacturing. This strong economic strength provides a strong support for the sustainable development of the city.
Next, let's take a look at Xi'an.
As the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, Xi'an carries a rich history and culture. Here, visitors can feel the antiquity and mystery firsthand. Whether it is the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda or the ancient city wall, they are all unique cultural symbols of Xi'an. The food in Xi'an is also evocative, with meat buns, mutton steamed buns, and cold skin...... Each dish is steeped in history and culture.
In terms of transportation, Xi'an also has unique advantages. As a transportation hub in the western region, Xi'an has a complete railway, road and air transportation network, which provides great convenience for tourists.
From a GDP perspective, Xi'an's economy is equally strong. In 2023, Xi'an's GDP will be 1.2 trillion yuan, and in 2023, Xi'an will receive 278 million tourists, with a total tourism revenue of 335 billion yuan, a record high, and a year-on-year increase of 33.1% and 65% in tourist reception and total tourism revenue, respectively. In recent years, with the state's key support for the western region and Xi'an's own efforts, the city's economic development has achieved remarkable results. This economic strength provides a strong guarantee for Xi'an's cultural protection and tourism development.
Let's take a look at Chengdu again.
The city attracts countless tourists with its laid-back pace of life and unique cultural atmosphere. In Chengdu, you can feel the beauty of a slow life, whether it is Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli or Chunxi Road, it is a good place for tourists to linger. The food in Chengdu is even more praiseworthy, with hot pot, skewers, rabbit heads and other delicacies that make people have endless aftertastes.
In terms of transportation, Chengdu also has convenient conditions. The subway, bus and other public transportation facilities are perfect, which provides great convenience for tourists. At the same time, Chengdu is also well connected by air and rail, making the city more connected to the rest of the country.
From the perspective of GDP, Chengdu, as the capital city of Sichuan Province, its economic strength should not be underestimated. In 2023, Chengdu's GDP will be 2.21 trillion yuan, and it is expected that the city will receive 280 million tourists and achieve a total tourism income of 370 billion yuan. In recent years, Chengdu's economic development has been rapid, especially in tourism, culture, science and technology. This economic strength provides strong support for Chengdu's cultural preservation and tourism development.
Finally, let's talk about Suzhou.
The city attracts countless tourists with its unique garden culture and exquisite lifestyle. In Suzhou, you can stroll through the classical gardens such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden to feel the tranquility and beauty. Suzhou's delicacies are also unforgettable, with special delicacies such as squirrel osmanthus fish and Biluo spring tea making people linger.
In terms of transportation, Suzhou also has convenient conditions. The subway, bus and other public transportation facilities are perfect, which provides great convenience for tourists. At the same time, Suzhou's road and rail connections are also very well developed, making the city more connected to the outside world.
From the perspective of GDP, Suzhou, as an important city in the Yangtze River Delta region, is also economically strong. In 2023, Suzhou's GDP will be 2.47 trillion yuan, with a GDP growth rate of 4.60%, a per capita GDP of 190,600 yuan/person, and a per capita GDP growth rate of 4.10%, of which the primary industry will account for 0.80%, the secondary industry will account for 46.80%, and the tertiary industry will account for 52.40%, and there will be 158.524 million domestic and foreign tourists in 2023, an increase of 63.6% over the previous year. It has significant advantages in manufacturing and service industries. This economic strength provides strong support for Suzhou's cultural preservation and tourism development.
To sum up, the four cities of Chongqing, Xi'an, Chengdu and Suzhou stand out with their unique cultural atmosphere, convenient transportation conditions and strong economic strength, and have become real Internet celebrity cities. They not only have an instantaneous light, but also have a lasting charm and deep heritage. For tourists, all four cities are worth visiting.
In the future, we expect these four cities to continue to maintain their unique charm and advantages, and bring more abundant tourism experiences and cultural enjoyment to tourists. At the same time, we also hope that more cities can pay attention to the creation of the human environment, the improvement of transportation facilities and the improvement of economic strength like them, and become real Internet celebrity cities.
