Ruijin, the capital of the Soviet Republic

Due to the backwardness of transportation, Ganzhou, like Jiangxi, can only trace the glory of the Song and Ming dynasties in modern times. After the founding of New China, Ganzhou took the mining industry as its pillar industry, and its tungsten ore and rare earth reserves and mining were world-class. However, the level of resource utilization is low, the added value of products is low, and the contribution to economic development is becoming more and more limited. At present, Ganzhou hopes to achieve a strong breakthrough in the main industry through the "two cities, two valleys and one belt" of new energy automobile science and technology city, Nankang Modern Furniture City, China Rare Gold Valley, Qingfeng Medicine Valley and Ganyue Electronic Information Industry Belt.

In 2015, Yunxia guests visited Tongtianyan

Tourism was originally also a good economic development point, because Ganzhou has Songcheng culture, red culture, Hakka culture and so on are more prominent. But more than a decade ago, except for a "drinking water and not forgetting to dig a well" of Tongtianyan and Ruijin, no other publicity was in place. Now, with the convenience of transportation and the strengthening of publicity, tourism has also surpassed Ji'an, Yichun and other places, and it seems that there is still a lot of potential. For example, the only national 5A-level tourist attraction, the Cradle of the Republic of Ruijin, is suitable for organizing groups to receive revolutionary traditional education. The Central Red Army's Long March was assembled at PingShan, where you can enjoy the scenery of natural alpine grasslands at the same time. The Hakka Customs Garden of Wulong and the Hakka Culture City in Ganxian County, as well as the Kansai Xinwei in Longnan and Dongshengwei in Anyuan can form a joint tourist area for Hakka culture and avoid going it alone. Cultural relics protection units such as Bajingtai, Yugutai, Ganzhou Ancient City Wall, Tongtian Grottoes, Ganzhou Confucian Temple, Ganzhou Pagoda, and Qili Town Kiln Site can also develop their cultural and creative products.
