Why is Anhui's geographical location so good, but it can't develop?

For this question, geography, an expert in geographical knowledge and travel information, analyzes it from the following angles

First, analyze whether the geographical position of Anhui is good or not.

topographically, Anhui province as a whole is mountainous in southern Anhui and plain in northern Anhui. The mountainous terrain in southern Anhui is not conducive to the development of agricultural production; Although there are many plains in northern Anhui, most areas are located in the Huaihe River Basin and the Yellow River Flooding Area, where Fengyang is the representative, but there are nine years of drought in ten years. Only the plain areas along the Yangtze River can barely be regarded as the land of plenty.

Geographically, although Anhui is adjacent to the economically developed Yangtze River Delta, it is not the core area of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone. Such a position has caused Anhui Province not to get the economic radiation and industrial transfer of Shanghai as the leading city in southern Jiangsu, but also to be siphoned away by the super-developed international metropolises of Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou.

From the traffic point of view, in a long historical period, except the areas along the Jin-Pu Railway and the Yangtze River waterway, other areas in Anhui Province have been marginalized for a long time, and this marginalization is no exception even in the provincial capital city like Hefei.

from the industrial point of view, Anhui's industrial base is very weak, and its industrial system is also incomplete. Huainan, Huaibei, Tongling, Maanshan and other cities with relatively developed industries are also dominated by traditional resources and minerals, which are at the primary and low added value end of the industrial chain.

to sum up, the geographical answer is that Anhui's geographical position is not good in a long historical period, especially in the national pattern. Although Anhui Province belongs to East China, it is not a coastal province, and it is awkward to be neither east nor west. Therefore, the slow development of Anhui province in a long historical period also has inherent and inevitable reasons.

For the future development of Anhui, geography answers that the development prospect of Anhui Province is still very bright. First of all, after the construction of the high-speed railway network, Hefei has become one of the few high-speed rail hub cities, and the traffic appearance of Anhui has been greatly improved. In the future, the comprehensive transportation network will be more developed and its geographical location will become more important. Then our country's industrial upgrading and the transformation of old and new kinetic energy have brought a rare historical opportunity for Anhui's development, and more and more industries and capitals have begun to be laid out in Anhui.

I believe that tomorrow in Anhui province will be even better!

1. Anhui is a city in the central and western regions, and its economic base is relatively backward and weak. In the early stage of reform and opening up, China gave priority to the development of coastal economic belt cities, except Anhui. The country has set up a free trade zone for the second time, and Anhui has no share. Miss the development opportunity many times, one step is slow, you are developing, and the city that started first is also developing. Moreover, priority cities have accumulated abundant economic capital and network resources, and elites have gathered in major economically developed cities and developed faster. Second, Anhui belongs to the central and western provinces and cities, which is only one of the reasons for its slow development. Second, Anhui is divided into northern Anhui, Jianghuai and southern Anhui. Southern Anhui occupies the economic development circle of the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and the economy is adjacent to the Shanghai metropolitan area, with rapid economic development. Jianghuai is the second, while northern Anhui is the worst. Among them, there is Lu 'an, an old district in Fuyang, Bozhou, Huaibei, Suzhou, which accounts for almost half of Anhui's regional area and more than half of its population. These cities belong to the old and poor cities, and they are basically cities with agricultural development as the mainstay. Huaibei, the only industrial city, is still a city that relies on the development of coal resources. At present, coal resources are exhausted and the market situation is not good. Huaibei, like Huainan, which is located in the Jianghuai area, is in the stage of economic transformation. In addition, several other prefecture-level cities with mainly agricultural output and relatively weak industrial base have lagged behind in economic development, which has greatly delayed Anhui's economic development. 3. Anhui, like other cities in the central and western regions, is more or less poor in the old frontier. The state has no obvious preferential policy, and it can only develop at a constant speed by relying on its own development. It will take a lot of effort to catch up with the development of cities in developed coastal areas, and it will be difficult to catch up in ten or twenty years.

I'm from Anhui, and I'm also very touched by this, so let me talk about my opinion. First of all, talk about the geographical location of Anhui. Anhui is located at the junction of East China and Central China, which belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and crosses the two major basins of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. The river water resources are relatively rich. The geographical features of Anhui are that the south of the Yangtze River is basically a mountainous area or hilly area, the western part between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River is hilly and mountainous, and the central and eastern parts are plains. Huaibei is a plain area. In the agricultural society, it can be said that it is relatively developed except for some areas. However, in the current industrial and even tertiary industry period, this is no longer dominant, and the dominant position is transportation and technology. Anhui's traffic is backward, so it can be said that there are no major traffic lines passing through (only gradually built in recent years), and education and science and technology are not very strong. The neighboring provinces of Jiangsu, Hubei, Zhejiang and coastal Shanghai completely suppress Anhui, and the brain drain is serious. So in fact, Anhui has a good geographical position, which is just an illusion.

From the present perspective, Anhui's geographical position should be said to be not bad, but it is not as good as that of the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, because Anhui can only occupy two, which has great disadvantages for international trade. Secondly, there is a snowball effect if it doesn't develop. The Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta are more and more developed, and the more talents and funds it attracts, the more efforts it can make to develop infrastructure and education, and so on. Anhui Province, on the other hand, is poor and underdeveloped in transportation. It was not until a few years ago that the state introduced various policies that more roads were built and some investors were introduced. However, due to underdeveloped infrastructure and inconvenient transportation, it was not attractive enough and its development was not particularly fast. Therefore, the gap with neighboring provinces is still very large.

finally, I think the most important factor is the national political factor. When there is no unique transportation advantage, if you want to develop quickly, you need strong support from the state, such as setting up a megacity or a municipality directly under the central government.

The latest information makes us feel that Anhui will copy some of the development steps of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai around 2 in recent years, and Anhui will undertake the task of industrial transfer, which means that labor-intensive industries (high-pollution and high-emission industries) are constantly entering Anhui, while high-tech industries remain in the Yangtze River Delta, which also reflects a reality that we can only rely on some special opportunities to lag behind step by step.

I'll tell you why Anhui can't develop.

in short, it is arrogant, ambitious, proud and miserable.

For example, the economic development of those cities in southern Anhui is just like that. They are even worse than those in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. However, they feel that they have a sense of superiority in the province, and they look down on northern Anhui, central Anhui and Hefei. In fact, they are not superior, but they think they are superior.

Take the cities in northern Anhui as an example. People are extremely proud of their faces. Weddings and funerals are extravagant and wasteful, and they charge exorbitant prices. We are already poor, but we still do this. We are proud people, euphemistically speaking.

Take Hefei as an example. In recent years, vertical comparison has developed, but what about horizontal comparison? Still that cowardly look. But people in Hefei don't think so. They think they are the tyrants.

well, what hope do you think Anhui has?

if we carefully study the national GDP ranking, we will find that the most developed provinces, except the provincial capital, other cities in the province will not be too weak.

Anhui is that Hefei, the provincial capital, is less developed, while other cities are even weaker. Simply put, Suzhou, Wuxi and Nanjing in Jiangsu add up to more than the total economic output of Anhui province, and the most developed city is Suzhou, not Nanjing, the provincial capital. Suqian, the weakest city in Jiangsu, can also rank third in Anhui, second only to Hefei and Wuhu.

in addition, Guangdong province with the highest economic aggregate has first-tier cities Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and economically strong cities Dongguan and Foshan. Shandong has Qingdao and Jinan, and other cities are not weak compared with Anhui. And Henan, which has been ridiculed as poor, although Zhengzhou's economy is not too high, its overall level is higher than that of Anhui.

but there is no top 2 city in Anhui province, and more importantly, except Hefei and Wuhu, the GDP of other cities is hovering around 1 billion to 2 billion, so how can the total economic output be high? How can it develop?

Suzhou's GDP is 17319, Nanjing's 11715 and Wuxi's 1511. Together, these three cities are far stronger than Anhui province. Suzhou can surpass all cities in Anhui except Hefei and Wuhu, which is the most deadly.

Anhui's population and talents have all been lost to developed provinces like Jiangsu, and the GDP of Jiangsu Province has also been contributed by Anhui people. If we calculate the total economic output created by Anhui people in the whole country, Anhui ranks not low. Therefore, there is hope that Anhui can retain talents.

therefore, when the whole situation is weak, holding a group to keep warm is the king. Anhui must vigorously support Hefei, Wuhu and Bengbu, so as to effectively promote the rapid growth of other cities in southern Anhui and northern Anhui.

welcome to pay attention to nut travel and get more interesting and practical knowledge about dry goods

I'm glad to answer your question.

first of all, thank you for inviting me.

1. Geographical location

Although Anhui's geographical location is close to the Yangtze River Delta, it is not so close. It is far from Shanghai, so it can't get Hui Ze. As a whole, it is far behind the development of southern Jiangsu, northern Zhejiang and even northern Jiangsu.

2. Geographical and climatic conditions and traffic level

Geographical and climatic conditions also obviously limit the development of Anhui. Anhui is mountainous, and the famous Huangshan Mountain is located in Anhui Province, which leads to underdeveloped traffic. Compared with Jiangsu next door, highways and railways are far worse, not to mention that Jiangsu has a large range of coastal areas.

In terms of climatic conditions, Anhui is more influenced by the Huaihe River.

the influence of Huaihe river basin is: either drought or flood. No exaggeration! Taking over the Yellow River, causing any ice flood and water cut-off may lead to major problems in the Huaihe River. So whether it is drought or flood, it will greatly affect the development of agricultural economy.

3. Talent building

There are Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, even Qingdao, Changsha and other cities around, which makes Anhui besieged on all sides, and it is difficult to retain talents under the current situation. This is a negative vicious circle.

4. The industrial base is relatively weak

The whole Anhui industry is relatively weak, and the system is not complete and diversified. Huainan and Huaibei are also dominated by traditional resource-based mining industries. Being in the primary link of the industrial chain is abandoned in the current economic construction.

However, the future of Anhui is predictable and good. In particular, Hefei has become a high-speed rail hub, and all aspects of development have a better foundation.

geographical environment and location are the plus items of economic development, but they are not the main and core factors. In terms of mountains, there are more mountains in Zhejiang than in Anhui, and in terms of floods in the Huaihe River, northern Jiangsu, which is located in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, has developed better than Anhui. Surrounded by water shortage in the desert, Israel can still develop into a powerful country. The climate of the vast ice sheet is bitter and cold as Finland.

In the final analysis, it is people who decide the economic development. For example, if Zhejiang people are moved to Anhui as a whole and Anhui people are moved to Zhejiang as a whole, within 3 years, Anhui will definitely surpass Zhejiang.

poor development depends on this and that, which is absolutely impossible to develop.

Anhui's development must be three points and one line, which is the only way at this stage, namely, Bengbu, Hefei and Wuhu. Greedy for big, wide and selfish (only focusing on the development of Hefei, not the provincial leaders of strategists) can't catch up with the eastern coastal areas. Moreover, Anhui people, small farmers and ordinary citizens, care too much, too much, too much. Selfish, arrogant, boasting all over the world just after starting a little achievement. In short, the development of a province has a great relationship with the quality of humanity!

Anhui is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is divided into three areas along the Yangtze River and south of the Yangtze River between Huaibei and Jianghuai. Hefei, the provincial capital, is located in the center of the province, with 16 prefecture-level cities. In the past 4 years of reform and opening up, Anhui has been developing agriculture, and in 198, the responsibility system for agricultural production was promoted to the whole country in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Chuzhou City. At that time, Anhui was a banner of the agricultural province. Anhui is rich in resources, such as tourism, copper mining, steel production, coal and carbon industry. There are Huangshan Mountain in Huangshan City, Jiuhua Mountain in Chizhou City, Tianzhu Mountain in Anqing City, and Tiantangzhai Scenic Area in Lu 'an. The iron and steel coal industry economy of Huainan Huaibei Copper Mine in Maanshan, Tongling has been ahead, and now the coal resources in Huainan Huaibei are exhausted, and the economy is also lagging behind. The development of a province can't be separated from the right time, the right place and the right people. If Anhui transforms and develops light industrial township enterprises during the reform and opening up, Anhui's economy will also be greatly improved. In the past 4 years, the development of agriculture has remained unchanged, and how can the economy of township enterprises be ignored to increase production? Except for Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, all the six provinces in East China have improved their GDp by transforming light industry and township enterprises. Anhui ranks eleventh in the central and eastern provinces, slightly higher than the northwest provinces (the northwest provinces have limited their development due to geographical conditions, which is justified). However, East China in Anhui Province is endowed with unique natural conditions, so it should not be backward in economic development. Anhui has a population of 7 million. In recent years, there are many surplus laborers in Anhui who have left their homes to work in economically developed areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to earn money. Fuyang has the largest number of migrant workers, and there are many in other cities. If Anhui's economy is good, do migrant workers still have to go to other provinces to find jobs? Now Anhui Province gathers the strength of the whole province to develop and strengthen Hefei, and promotes the economic development along the Yangtze River in Huaibei by radiation. The development of a province can not be separated from the economy. Anhui's economy is weak. Except Wuhu, other prefecture-level cities have a big gap in GDp compared with neighboring Jiangsu and Zhejiang cities. Not long ago, Anqing City studied the economy of Hai 'an, Jiangsu Province, and developed itself by attracting foreign investment. It is hoped that other cities will also rely on their own efforts to attract foreign investment, open up markets and invigorate the economy. Only with the concerted efforts of all parties, Anhui cities can rise rapidly, and Hefei, the provincial capital, cannot be expected to drive local economic development. Hefei is now in the development stage. (for answering questions only). (author: he mangui).

I feel that Anhui has not caught up with the good times, neither catching up with the opening up of the east nor the support of the Central Plains. There is a very common saying, "Anhui people govern the country, and no one governs Anhui."
