How developed is Chengdu? The ordinary provincial capital you think of is a hidden international metropolis

Chengdu's total population in 2021 was 20.9 million, an increase of 6 million from 14.65 million in 2015, and the population in China is second only to Beijing and Shanghai, surpassing Guangzhou and Shenzhen's 18 million. In recent years, Chengdu has gradually incorporated the surrounding areas as a territorial jurisdiction, located in the vast radiation belt of the plain, where new scientific research technologies and new business models have invested heavily, which is the forefront of the implementation of new technologies. Because it is located in the plain, it can establish good contacts with the surrounding areas, and it is also the focus of the government's strategic support, and the future development can be expected!

Chengdu, not only exists in the song of Zhao Lei's "Chengdu", nor is it only a leisurely and comfortable culture such as tea houses, mahjong, and temple visits, Chengdu is an economic center and a bustling metropolis! Its frontier economies such as commerce and trade, light industry, luxury goods market, scientific research and technology are in the forefront of China. Chengdu has this volume, can accommodate foreigners to come in to develop, once attracting foreigners into Shu, the demographic dividend will create new development for the city in the next many years, although the per capita GDP is not as good as most of the coastal cities, but in terms of total amount, in terms of the share of high-tech and commercial investment, Chengdu's comprehensive strength is second only to domestic first-tier cities!

To the old neighbor of the same megacity, Chongqing, sad for a second, because Chongqing is dominated by the old heavy industry, and the investment in the future economic focus, that is, the science and technology industry and the cultural industry, is very limited! Moreover, the terrain is mountainous, so that the power cannot radiate out of the main urban area, and it is not enough to rely on the water transport hub of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River. However, Chongqing is still a megacity, ranking in the top ten in the country, and the old neighbor next to it is too strong.

Because of the introduction of various investments, Chengdu has great potential for development in the future, and it is also a metropolis that is booming, do you yearn for the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou? Do you aspire to work in coastal cities? Going to Chengdu to work hard is the same as going to the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and Chengdu is currently slightly poor, that is to say, the economy is still in the process of rapid development and is not saturated, so Chengdu's present may not be superior, but Chengdu's future must be full of great hope!

Chengdu is a super big city, which is also unexpected to me, because when I was a child, I lived in a small county under the jurisdiction of Chongqing, and my understanding of Chengdu stayed at the Sichuan Provincial Meeting, thinking that it was no different from Kunming and Guiyang. But until now, after I have learned more about Chengdu one after another, I found that it not only threw out Kunming and Guiyang n grades, but even better than the municipalities I thought when I was a child, the neighboring cities of the national central metropolis, and my cognition was also refreshed. If 5 years ago there was controversy about who was the boss of the west in these two cities, then 5 years later there will be no more.

The distant big city you yearn for, its comprehensive strength may not be as good as the nearby Chengdu, a large number of foreigners pour in, but the locals want to run out, not far from your home, but the foreigners see the same big place as the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, you say magic is not magical? Chengdu is still attracting a large number of immigrants and investment, the population has exceeded Guangzhou, Shenzhen, the largest military base, medical base, aviation center, commercial and trade center in the west are located here, and here is the transportation hub of the entire Great West, radiating vast, there are also national policy inclination. Therefore, another 10 years of development, to 2030, chengdu at that time, really dare not imagine!

In recent years, Chengdu has been good at marketing, good at doing internet celebrity economy, every three to five on the hot search, lightweight, comfortable city image is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Spending a lot of money on marketing has also attracted a large number of outsiders to Chengdu, and most of them meet Mandarin speakers on the street, and there are fewer local accents. Marketing has made it more high-profile than it should have been, and overnight it has been pushed to the forefront by public opinion, and people all over the country are watching and questioning. But I think that almost all big cities are doing marketing, including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Wuhan, Chengdu is just the most successful one, which also shows that Chengdu itself has its own attraction points, otherwise it will not be successful in marketing, and of course it will not retain outsiders.

I went to Chengdu, dropped out of high school, spent four months there, and I lived in the old town of Jinniu, where the streets are narrow and cross a small area to the main highway. Chengdu has a temperament, to my feeling is gentle, not a big hard bangs of high-rise buildings, but with pyrotechnic thoughtfulness, here, there is a sense of "life". If Chengdu really develops into China's fifth city in the future after beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, then I am very happy to live and live here, because there are constantly special projects developed here, so I think this is very likely.

Chengdu is the nearest provincial capital to my hometown, and I rarely went to Chengdu as a child, so I have a curiosity about the city, a kind of nostalgia, even if I live in Chengdu for a while when I grow up, I only think that this is a good provincial capital. But until later, I saw on the Internet that Chengdu's strength ranked among the top 10 cities in the country, and it was well known to the people of the whole country as an Internet red city, and when it was very likely to be built into a bustling metropolis in the future, my cognition underwent a huge subversion, and I had a different feeling and a different feeling for the city.

I sat and waited for the future, looking forward to, looking forward to this once familiar city, a different day...
