Which do you prefer, Jie Fangbei in Chongqing, Kuanzhai Lane in Chengdu or Datang, the city that never sleeps in Xi?

At the end of 20 18, the Ministry of Commerce launched the pilot project of 1 1 pedestrian street renovation and upgrading nationwide, and built a pedestrian street benchmark with exemplary function within three years, providing reference for other qualified cities to cultivate a large number of provincial-level pedestrian streets representing local characteristics.

By July 23rd this year, the Ministry of Commerce was among the first in the on-the-spot meeting on the renovation and upgrading of the national pedestrian street held in Nanjing, Jiangsu? National demonstration pedestrian street? Award-winning, the famous Beishangguang all fell off the list, and the western cities became the biggest winners. Chongqing Jie Fangbei Pedestrian Street, Chengdu Kuanzhai Lane Pedestrian Street and Xi Datang Pedestrian Street all won prizes. Won three seats in the five pedestrian streets that won this honor.

This does not mean that the commercial activity in the west has surpassed the traditional economic strong area where Beishangguang is located, nor does it mean that the tertiary industry in the west is developed. On the contrary, the selection is based on the rate of progress, which just shows that the western region lacks commercial background and economic foundation.

What makes us happy should never be a name, but real progress. Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, I think this selection result at least explains the following four points.

1. In the tide that the west undertakes the transfer of traditional industries in the east, the tertiary industry has been paid more and more attention, and its development has become a strategic decision for urban development;

2. The economic weight of the western region is also heavy, so using the development experience of first-tier cities can get twice the result with half the effort.

3. The western cities have truly understood and implemented their strategic positioning in the national economic development;

Developing the west is a long-term basic national policy. Narrowing the regional gap and realizing the prosperity of the whole people is the fundamental starting point of top-level design.

Economic progress always has exciting magic, but because of profound and accurate logical language, many people can't like reading; Therefore, at this time we need to visualize it and make it look like we like it. For example, we can turn ourselves into tourists and spend a few minutes walking on the charming pedestrian streets of three promising cities in the west.

First, Jie Fangbei, Chongqing

Yesterday, I brushed Baidu and accidentally opened a video of Xu Jinjiang. To tell the truth, people who never brush short videos have actually finished watching them. Lao Xu, a big man, before coming to Jie Fangbei, his eyes were red, his hands touched his chest and he said a sentence. I remembered the last paragraph: a country cannot live without heroes, and a nation cannot live without pioneers.

Jiefangbei

Yes, just under the Jie Fangbei, the only monument in China to commemorate War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, I heard the heartfelt words of a Hongkong person.

As a native of Yuzhong, Chongqing, I am used to the quiet years and enjoy the prosperity and convenience of Yuzhong District, which is not inferior to any other city in China. Some people forget the scars and extraordinary things that the years have printed here. I often wander around Jie Fangbei, even if I just go to the supermarket, I will habitually choose Jie Fangbei.

Today, Jie Fangbei is the lowest building in that high-rise area, but it is also the tallest building in the city. Even if the nearby chungking mansions has been capped at 435 meters, even if the 470-meter international economic center in Jiangbei Estuary is repaired ahead of schedule.

In fact, we have not forgotten the past, but turned the tenacity and suffering of the past into the surging power of today's efforts, projected the wings of a bright future in the brilliant downtown, and publicized our pride with the image of being energetic and standing in the forefront of the times.

After more than two years' renovation, Jie Fangbei Cross Gold Street has optimized the urban landscape facilities and upgraded the commercial format. The development space has been expanded from 0.92 square kilometers to 1.2 square kilometers, and the length of pure pedestrian street has been extended from 1.000 meters to 1.500 meters. Jiefang North Pedestrian Street has better planning and layout, better management and service, more beautiful environmental landscape, more consumption and supply, and deeper cultural heritage.

According to relevant statistics of Yuzhong District, in 20 19, the annual turnover of Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street exceeded 20 billion yuan, accounting for nearly 70% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods in the region, with a year-on-year increase of14%; The flow of people reached 65.438+0.6 billion person-times, a year-on-year increase of 37%; The satisfaction of consumers and operators has reached more than 90%.

At the same time, the "20 1 9 Pedestrian Street Economic Report" released this year1month shows that the passenger flow of Jie Fangbei Pedestrian Street ranks first in the country; According to the data of "Renovation of Pedestrian Street to Upgrade work briefing" recently released by the Ministry of Commerce, in 2020, the passenger flow and turnover of Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street will rank first in the national 1 1 experimental pedestrian street.

It is natural for Jie Fangbei to become a national demonstration pedestrian street.

Second, Chengdu Kuanzhai Lane

Kuanzhai Lane is located near Changshun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan. It consists of a wide lane, a narrow lane and a well lane arranged in parallel. They are all antique quadrangles with blue bricks. It is also a large-scale ancient street of Qing Dynasty left over from Chengdu.

Kuanzhai lane in Chengdu

It is the shrewdness of Chengdu people to integrate historical feelings into commercial formats. This little-known place, because of its binding with tourism, has become a hot punching place in Chengdu. The concentration of people brings wealth.

Kuanzhai Lane is the best embodiment of Chengdu's leisure city and street life. This is an artistic restoration, not an opening of the original old street.

The true meaning and fashion mood of slow life in Chengdu can be found here, and both the past and the future can smile at each other and meet each other hand in hand. For us who live in the present, why not go to Kuanzhai Lane?

Sitting in old Chengdu

Kuanzhai Lane Pedestrian Street is a characteristic pedestrian street, which is the choice of more non-local tourists. So I joked that it is an export-oriented economy, mainly earning money from foreigners. One fact that can't be ignored is that its economic growth really depends on tourism, which can be seen from its accommodation and catering scale far exceeding that of other pedestrian streets.

In terms of total income, it is difficult for Kuanzhai Lane to surpass Jie Fangbei. Jie Fangbei Pedestrian Street is a comprehensive pedestrian street, which meets the leisure and entertainment needs of local people. Its format is richer than Kuanzhai Lane's, attracting mainly local tourists, with a large number of loyal fixed consumption groups, rather than occasional foreign tourists. Their consumption is unstable and unsustainable. Due to some factors, there will be drastic changes.

Third, Xi An Datang City that Never Sleeps

As far as the history is concerned, I am most optimistic about Xi 'an. This city, in the name of Chang 'an in Datang, has the magic power to attract global attention.

Chang 'an, Huang Hui

Datang City that Never Sleeps is located at the foot of Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Yanta District, Xi City, Shaanxi Province. It starts from the South Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the north, ends at the ruins of the Tang City Wall in the south, ends at Ci 'en East Road in the east and ends at Ci 'en West Road in the west. The plot is 2 100 meters long from north to south and 500 meters wide from east to west, with a total construction area of 650,000 square meters.

It is based on the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, telling you what is prosperous and prosperous, and what is prosperous and peaceful.

Dream back to the Tang Dynasty and go to the city that never sleeps in Datang.

Datang City that Never Sleeps Pedestrian Street also belongs to the characteristic pedestrian street, which leads tourists to complete their consumption in the visual and psychological shock brought by Tang Wenhua. It belongs to a typical tourism economy, which is basically consistent with the models of Chengdu, Chongqing and Kuanzhai Lane.

Through the comparison of these three pedestrian streets in the west, we can see that their development models are not surprising, but they are steady, targeted and honest, and have become a model area for local economic development. It also has a strong reference significance for the development of other regions.

At the same time, their progress is obvious to all and their achievements are remarkable. It was rated as a demonstration pedestrian street, which is well founded.

It is hoped that these three western megacities with historical mission will take the experience of successfully building leading pedestrian streets as the guide, expand their achievements, create more wealth and value, and increase residents' sense of happiness and belonging in the horn of western development.
