What about "Erdos City", known as Little Hong Kong?

I have been in Inner Mongolia for several years, and I went to Erdos for construction. I have been there twice, and I feel that the first infrastructure is very good. Bus stops, schools, stadiums and parks are well built, and they don't lose any big cities. The second person is too few. I believe that the parking space is tight, because almost every family has a car, and traffic jams are not possible. We are working in Ordos, staying in Yijinhuoluo, a very good hotel. We have to drive to the site for 81 nights and come back at 3 pm. There is no one on the street. Only the traffic lights on the main road are on. We also made a special trip to kangbashi, and there was really no one. There are many high-rise buildings, and anyone who can shine Three Lamps District in a building at night is popular. There are still quite a few people in Ejinhoro. I don't know the place name at the traffic lights, but it is near the iconic six buildings. I went there two or three years ago, but now I don't know if there are many people.

As a native of Ordos, let me talk about my feelings! Ordos is an energy city, relying on the strong rise of coal resources. Ordos covers an area of 86,752 square kilometers, which is said to be the largest coal storage city in China. According to the current mining speed, it can still be mined for hundreds of years.

In the past few years, the price of coal has skyrocketed, and the housing prices in Ordos have risen rapidly. Various buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and migrant workers from all over the country have poured into Ordos in an endless stream. For a while, Ordos has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity. Building a house requires land acquisition. Ordos was originally sparsely populated. Who are the indigenous people who are born and raised without a few acres of land? At that time, it was conceivable that Ordos people were rich, and many people didn't adapt to this sudden wealth, so they bought all kinds of luxury cars (houses don't need to be bought, and there are several suites in the land), usury ..., from which came the title of Little Hong Kong, which was really the limelight for a while. However, as the saying goes, flowers never last for a hundred days. It didn't take long for the crisis of private lending to break out, and the poor Ordos people beat Shui Piao with their money, so they gradually entered a period of silence.

Having finished the history of Ordos, let's talk about Ordos in my eyes. When we talk about Ordos, we mainly talk about Dongsheng District, because Dongsheng District is the seat of the former municipal government, with the largest population and the most representative.

The advantages of Ordos are good public security and good environment, which is recognized. As early as ten years ago, when my classmates came back from studying in Tianjin, they said that Ordos was much cleaner than those big cities in Beijing and Tianjin, with cool summer and a little less snow in winter.

After that, the advantages are naturally disadvantages. Due to the financial prosperity in previous years and the fact that the city leaders didn't see the shortage of people in their own land, the outsize stalls directly led to the emergence of ghost towns in kangbashi and unfinished buildings everywhere in Dongsheng District. We all know that people are the foundation of all economies, and everything is empty talk, but the Ordos municipal government focuses on the theme of livable cities, so there are basically no business districts in Tiexi District and kangbashi district. People are still used to spending and entertaining in the old city. As for kangbashi district, where my classmates live, they say that they basically go back to Dongsheng to buy things. What is the significance of building such a new district? I also asked the students who went to college in kangbashi district. They said that there was nothing in front of their school and they wouldn't let them leave the school gate. Then I would like to ask the beloved leaders of Ordos City, what are you doing building this school? Spend hundreds of millions just to get your children to go to school closer to home? That's thousands of college students, even if everyone spends ten dollars a day, they can also contribute a lot of gdp, right?

In recent years, the government has focused on tourism. To be honest, the tourism resources in Erdos are very limited. In my opinion, they all belong to sightseeing, and the participation of tourists is limited, and the price is extremely expensive. Although tourists don't talk about it, they must be thinking about never coming again!

With the implementation of the new national shed reform policy and the implementation of the local government's stipulation that new commercial housing will not be approved within five years, the housing prices in Azhen-kangbashi-Dongsheng-Shage Blocking-Xue Jiawan, the main urban area of Ordos, have steadily increased. Taking Dongsheng, Azhen and Xue Jiawan as examples, the average price of new houses has increased from 2,8 yuan/flat to 4,9 yuan/flat, and kangbashi is a special case, with the average price of new houses reaching 9,5 yuan/flat. With the recovery of the coal economy after the end of 215, the economic recovery, the employment rate and income have been significantly improved, and the purchasing power of the people has been enhanced. The CPI index ranks in the forefront of cities above the third tier in the country. To sum up with a joke, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Ordos City has experienced the golden period of coal economy for 1 years, and has experienced a downturn for nearly 4 years. However, abundant coal and natural gas resources and perfect infrastructure are bound to make Ordos continue to be brilliant. According to the statistics of national economic indicators in 217, Ordos' per capita GDP continues to rank first in the country (except Hong Kong and Macao). In 218, the Ordos municipal government will no longer blindly pursue GDP achievements, focusing on pragmatic work such as debt settlement, environmental governance, shantytown renovation, and fully squeezing GDP moisture and giving everyone a real Ordos. Welcome to Erdos.

First of all, let's talk about the economy. The total economic output of Erdos is still the first in Inner Mongolia. Although it has experienced the real estate pains and the turmoil of private lending in the early years, Erdos has survived with its economic base and rich resource attributes, and the economy is slowly getting on the right track. In recent years, it has also cultivated its own characteristic industries, such as coal chemical industry, which is second to none in the country. A complete coal chemical system has been formed, such as coal to oil, coal to natural gas, coal to olefins, coal to ethylene glycol, etc., among which there are many national large-scale demonstration projects. At the same time, it also promoted the development of upstream and downstream related industries. There is also an equipment manufacturing base, BOE Ordos Industrial Park. Both have injected strong vitality into the development of Ordos.

Cultural environment The resident population of Ordos is relatively single, and most of them are local residents near Dongsheng. In some local formal occasions, local dialects are often used in daily communication, and Mandarin is less used. There are many high-rise buildings in the city, and there are not many pedestrians on the street. People basically travel by car, and the number of people using public transportation is small. The local people live a comfortable and prosperous life.

Ordos is rich in tourism resources, such as Ordos Prairie, Xiangshawan, Genghis Khan Mausoleum, etc. It is a good choice, and Ordos in go on road trip also has a unique flavor.

In the first decade of this century, Ordos, a third-tier city in Inner Mongolia, has created a series of economic myths. In the heyday of 27, the GDP of Ordos region increased by 25.8% year-on-year, and the fiscal revenue increased by 38%! This growth rate, even in China with an average annual growth rate of 1%, is crazy.

however, the economic growth of Ordos is based on resources. It seems that resource-based cities can never escape the fate of "building-developing-shrinking-scrapping". Relying on the exploitation of resources for a long time, ignoring the diversified development of industries, technological innovation, and environmental pollution have inevitably led to the decline of cities.

The economic myth of Erdos was shattered at the end of 211. The volume and price of coal plummeted, the property market was in a downturn, and Erdos, a rich coal, was caught in a debt crisis. Obviously, relying solely on coal resources, the industrial structure is single, the industrial chain is short, and extensive production leads to environmental deterioration and backward production capacity. At the same time, it is keen on real estate speculation, which makes the development road of Ordos narrower and narrower, and the bubble is full of hidden dangers. Finally, overnight, the myth is broken.

In this round of economic cooling, the economic growth rate of Erdos has declined seriously, with a growth rate of 15.1% in 211 and 7.7% in 215, almost halved. By 217, it will further decline to 5.8%, which is less than a quarter of the peak in 27.

In recent years, Ordos is also seeking economic transformation. First, the coal industry chain has been extended, and great progress has been made in coal-to-gas and coal chemical industry. The industrial chain has also been extended and the added value has also increased. The second is to develop other manufacturing industries, take the equipment manufacturing base as a powerful engine, and introduce top 5 enterprises and high-tech industries. At present, the added value of non-coal industry in Ordos accounts for nearly 5% of the industrial added value, which has been greatly improved, and the situation of one coal dominating is changing.

Before 211, the economic growth rate of Ordos was the number one in Inner Mongolia for nine consecutive years. With the collapse of private lending and real estate, and the coal market falling to freezing point, Ordos economy was hit hard. In the past two years, the price of coal has picked up, the monetization of shed reform has deepened, and Ordos has gained a breathing space to get out of the trough.

Ordos is a typical energy-based city. In the past two years, coal prices in Ordos have continued to pick up. In 217, the average price of coal in Ordos was 37 yuan per ton, an increase of 48%. In 217, the coal output of Ordos was 6 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%; Sales of coal reached 62 million tons, up 14% year-on-year.

in 217, the GDP of Ordos was 357.981 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 5.8% after deducting the price factor.

However, the financial pressure in Ordos is still enormous. In 217, Ordos' fiscal revenue was 35.6 billion, up 5.1% year-on-year, and its fiscal expenditure was 47.7 billion yuan, down 15.1% year-on-year. At the same time, industrial investment in Ordos resumed its downward trend in 217, with an annual industrial investment of 174.9 billion, down 7.8% year-on-year, and the ability to absorb industries has not recovered.

Ordos is a typical city with two districts, Dongsheng in the old city and kangbashi in the new district. Kangbashi once attracted the world's attention because of a report in Time magazine in 21, Erdos, China: A Modern Ghost Town.

from 21 to 215, the house price in kangbashi hovered around 4,-5, yuan per square meter for a long time, but with the acceleration of destocking in these two years, kangbashi became the biggest beneficiary.

In 216 and 217, the monetization resettlement ratio in Ordos reached 94.5% and 1% respectively, which was second to none in the monetization process of shed reform in China. Through shed reform, the effect of destocking in Ordos is remarkable. In 216 and 217, the area of commercial housing in Ordos was 5.898 million square meters and 5.11 million square meters respectively.

shed reform has also become the main force to boost housing prices. At present, the housing price in kangbashi has risen rapidly to 1, yuan, more than doubling, approaching the highest level in the history of housing prices in kangbashi district. However, the occupancy rate of kangbashi community is still low.

Dongsheng house price in the old city is still hovering, with an average price of 5, to 6, yuan per square meter, slightly rising.

............................................

The latest information is that "ghost towns" are on the rise, and house prices have returned to the level of 1, yuan per square meter.

Around 21, with the bursting of the real estate bubble, Erdos was called a ghost town, which was a lot of vacant new houses, and there was not even a soul. It's really scary.

Although the house price hovers between 4, yuan and 5, yuan, there are few transactions, even if no one wants to live.

Looking back, in 26, the real estate industry in Erdos began to soar, rising from 1,5 yuan per square meter to 5,-6, yuan in a year or two, under the fund speculation brought by the coal industry. 21 was the craziest time. In some areas, the house price reached 2, yuan per square meter, with 3-4 houses per capita.

nowadays, things seem to have changed a lot.

The news from June to July in 218 is mostly positive reports.

For example, some media reported that the house price in Ordos, a ghost town in the past, rose sharply with the help of shed reform and monetization, and the Securities Times published an article on July 26, entitled "House price rebound in Ordos New District: how to get rid of the ghost town hat", all of which said that the house price quickly broke through the 1, yuan/square meter mark in the past two years and returned to the highest level in history.

The Securities Times survey found that the average price of the residential areas such as Oriental Newland, Jinxiu Mountain Villa, Jinxin Hanlinyuan and Huaying Xincheng has exceeded 1,. Even in the "Civil Servant Community", the lowest house price in this area fell to 2, yuan per square meter, and now it has risen to about 5, yuan.

Policy incentives have enabled Erdos' inventory to be quickly digested. There are some policies, such as changing sheds into monetary resettlement, room ticket system, and government repurchase. According to official data, in 216 and 217, the proportion of monetized resettlement in Ordos shed reform reached 94.5% and 1% respectively. Such a high proportion of monetized resettlement is rare in China.

Erdos is a typical city and two districts, and kangbashi district is a new district, and all kinds of conditions are much better than Dongsheng District in the old district. Therefore, from the perspective of Ordos as a whole, it is hard to say that the real estate market has returned to health. Unfinished residential buildings are still everywhere.

The healthy and sustainable development of a city needs sustainable industries to be maintained, and the future of Ordos is still worrying.

The rise in housing prices in third-and fourth-tier cities driven by shed reform may lead to a surge in demand in the short term, but in the medium and long term, it is still hard to be optimistic.

Erdos is a typical city that hollows out its body for appearance. According to the actual ability of Erdos, nothing can achieve the "glory" of previous years.

However, Erdos was indeed "brilliant" a few years ago, and "brilliant" hurt many people's eyes.

However, such "glory" will only leave today's depression. Because Ordos is playing the way of hollowing out the body. With the temporary prosperity brought by rising energy prices, we began to engage in real estate, and used real estate to create false prosperity, which interacted with the prosperity of energy, hollowed out urban resources and overdrawn the future of the city.

think about it, how long can a city with less developed manufacturing such as Erdos be supported by energy and real estate? After the sharp drop in energy prices, the foundation for supporting the "glory" of Ordos was gone, and the real estate collapsed rapidly. Without these two supports, can we survive? Therefore, for Erdos, it is actually a city with appearance. After all, there is no manufacturing industry, no good conditions for innovation, no effective industrial investment and service industry investment. What is waiting for Ordos is to start over and do something practical to develop the manufacturing industry. At present, the so-called economic recovery is not the embodiment of the economic recovery in Ordos, but the new false prosperity brought about by the rising coal price. If Ordos really wants to get out of the predicament, it can only rely on developing the real economy and make up for the abnormal structure left by the development in previous years with the real economy.

Ordos in the future can be full of confidence, but the bumpy road ahead may be a little more dangerous and difficult than many cities.

Ordos used to be brilliant, because Ordos is one of the 18 typical areas in the past 3 years of reform and opening up, and it is an emerging economic city in Inner Mongolia. It was once a well-known city in China, and the house price has been rising. However, in recent years, Ordos has really declined due to problems such as resource depletion.

in terms of housing prices, since 26, with the support of funds brought by the coal industry, the economic development of Ordos has been very hot, and by 211, the Ministry of Ordos.
