Which is more developed, Chongqing or Chengdu?

Which city is the best, Xie Chongqing or Chengdu? Which city is more livable?

This question is actually very topical, because even Chongqing and Chengdu locals sometimes choose and consider the following points.

As a Shandong native who has lived and worked in Chongqing and Chengdu, let me answer. Perhaps, without the fans of the authorities, we can make a better comparison.

Since it is the choice of two places, there is no doubt that it cannot be separated from these factors: city, climate and geography, human character, cultural history and economic development. So let me introduce my feelings one by one.

First, let's talk about cities. The development level and energy level of the two local cities are similar, and they are both leading brothers in southwest China. However, Chengdu is more delicate and Chongqing is more domineering. Perhaps these two words describe the characters of these two cities more appropriately.

Chengdu is smart because of the land of abundance and the Sichuan Provincial Association. Although the city is located in the west, it has a high international vision and level, and the comfort of urban life is stronger. This is the reason for "going to Shu less". The flat terrain makes Chengdu develop into a ring structure and extend outward. Chongqing, on the other hand, is magical and charming for 8 days because of its complex terrain and stronger three-dimensional sense. Chongqing is the only municipality directly under the central government in the central and western regions, and its institutional advantages determine the higher energy level of the city. However, the hot weather and undulating terrain make it slightly uncomfortable than Chengdu. In Chongqing, the layout of many pieces is obvious.

Second, talk about climate geography. Chengdu is honored as a land of abundance because it has the beauty of the plain and the geographical characteristics of the basin. Because of this, the weather is more comfortable. The flat terrain makes Chengdu's urban construction and traffic more like a plain city, with relatively distinct east, west, north and south. The mountainous nature of Chongqing makes it scorching in the summer sun. The mountainous area is blocked and there is little wind, which leads to very hot weather. The buildings built on the mountain make Chongqing's east, west, north and south often vague and have low recognition.

Third, talk about the personalities of the people in the two places. The gentleness and slowness of Chengdu is due to the softness and delicacy of the plain. In business form, it is characterized by delicate mind and some twists and turns. The culture of mountains, rivers and docks in Chongqing has nurtured a more upright and frank character, but it has also developed a fiery or grumpy temper. For this reason, the two places joked that Chongqing would say that Chengdu people were sour, while Chengdu people ridiculed Chongqing people's temper as if they had eaten firecrackers. Thus, in the rhythm of development and urban life, Chengdu will appear more leisurely, while Chongqing will appear fast-paced and impatient.

Fourth, talk about culture and history. Both places belong to Bashu. It has a long history. Chengdu has long had the romantic story of Sima Xiangru and building houses with wine, while Chongqing has also changed the war situation with the spirit of fishing city. However, in terms of specific cultural charm and excavation. There are many tourists in Du Fu Caotang, Wuhou Temple and Huanhuaxi in Chengdu, and people can feel the profound and elegant cultural atmosphere everywhere. However, although Chongqing also has historical stories about the orphans entrusted by Fishing Town and Bai Di (Fengjie), there has never been a unique cultural symbol with a unique itinerary. Compared with the two, Chengdu has a stronger cultural atmosphere and a deeper excavation of cultural history; Chongqing, on the other hand, is even more bumpy and bleak, and its performance in this respect is not enough.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) economic development. The level of economic development determines the job opportunities and development prospects of a place, so it is also a problem that must be considered when settling down. Frankly speaking, Chengdu and Chongqing are neck and neck in economic development. Electronic information, auto parts and new economy are all highly valued. But Chengdu's economy is more active, and the development characteristics of scientific and technological innovation industries are obvious; Chongqing's industrial base is stronger, the manufacturing industry is dominant and the industrial base is strong. If you prefer innovative features, small and elegant, Chengdu has many opportunities; If you are just looking for a job, Chongqing can satisfy you.

This is my understanding of Chengdu and Chongqing from the aspects of city, climate and geography, crowd character, cultural history and economic development. Which place is more suitable for settlement? There is really no standard answer. Just like some people like to eat Chengdu spicy hot pot, which is rich and refreshing; Others prefer the spicy hot pot in Chongqing. Take a bite, your lips and teeth are hot, and have another cold beer, which feels just right!

Finally, once again, since ancient times, both places have been called the Sichuan-Chongqing family. In fact, although there will be quarrels in the mouth and comparisons in the heart, it is difficult to change the local accent and they still agree with each other. It takes more than an hour to get to the two places by high-speed rail, so it is very convenient to meet relatives and friends. Especially now, the state has upgraded the twin-city economic circle in Chengdu-Chongqing area to a national strategy, which has brought the distance between the two places closer. For example, integration will lead to more and more competition between Chongqing and Chongqing. The most important growth pole and "Gemini" in China inland will be realized through common development and learning from each other's strong points.

So whether you live or settle in Chongqing in the future, this difference will become weaker and weaker. The development of the two places will get better and better.
