When it comes to cities in Yunnan, I believe everyone should be familiar with them, especially Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and so on. Especially like Dali and Lijiang, because their tourism industry is very hot, their popularity has gradually become very high and people are familiar with it. However, there is another special city in Yunnan-Zhaotong City. Although it does not have very good tourism resources like Kunming, Dali and Lijiang, it also has its own development advantages and is a city with special potential for future development. Everyone may be unfamiliar with Zhaotong City, because its popularity is very low and its economic development is not so good.
why is Zhaotong a special city?
in fact, this should also be discussed from the aspects of geographical location, historical origin and living customs. Zhaotong has always been adjacent to Sichuan and Guizhou, so it is normal for people in Yunnan to be influenced by Sichuan and Guizhou. Yunnan people's tastes are fresh and fragrant, moderately sour and spicy, and pay attention to the original taste and original flavor, such as the familiar rice noodle crossing the bridge. Zhaotong people have both the sour taste and the spicy taste of Sichuan, and their dialects and cultural customs are quite different from those of Sichuan and Guizhou. Moreover, it was about 3 years before the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng. Some cultural relics unearthed in Zhaotong still have the characteristics of Bashu culture, so it is no wonder that they are called Sichuan flavor. Geographically, Zhaotong, half of Yunnan, half of Guizhou and half of Sichuan are collectively referred to as "three rivers and a half".
why is Zhaotong a city of potential?
①. As mentioned above, Zhaotong is located in the heart of three provinces and one city in southwest China. It is precisely because of this special location advantage that Zhaotong's expressway network extends in all directions, entering Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone in the north and Central Guizhou Economic Zone in the east. The Jinsha River flows through five districts and counties of Zhaotong City, such as Qiaojia County, Zhaoyang District, Yongshan County, Suijiang County and Shuifu City. At present, the port that can be used for shipping is Yunnan Shuifu Port, which is known as the first port of the Yangtze River. At present, the first phase of the project has been completed, and the second phase of the project has started construction. When the third phase of the project is completed, the throughput of Shuifu Port will reach a higher level. Shuifu Port can sail 3-ton ships directly to the Yangtze River estuary in Shanghai. If all the first-line four-port and nine-port terminals (Shuifu Port, Suijiang Port, Yongshan Xiluodu Port and Qiaojia Baihetan Port) planned by Zhaotong are completed, then Zhaotong's waterway transportation will also be NO1 in Yunnan.
②. Zhaotong Airport was founded in 1935. It is located in Airport Road, Zhaoyang District, Zhaotong City, 3.5 kilometers west of Zhaotong City Center. It is a 4C-class domestic feeder airport in China, and Zhaotong Airport began to be used by both military and civilian. In 1983, Zhaotong Airport was opened to civil aviation; In 1986, Zhaotong Airport was suspended; In 1994, Zhaotong Airport resumed flight after expansion.
According to the airport official website in April, 22, Zhaotong Airport has a terminal building area of 1,96 square meters and a platform area of 6,6 square meters, with two class C seats; There is an asphalt runway with a length of 26 meters and a width of 45 meters, which can take off and land Boeing 737-7 or below. With the development of the city, the growth of urbanization rate and the increase of people's flow and logistics, the existing airport can't meet the needs of people's travel and logistics transportation quickly. In addition, the existing airport is too close to the city center, so it is necessary to test and relocate the old airport. Recently, the terminal building and ancillary facilities of Zhaotong New Airport have been collected. It is estimated that the construction will be completed within 2-3 years. The new airport or named Zhaotong Hualuping Airport is located in Hualuping Village, Buga Township, Zhaoyang District, Zhaotong City, with a construction area of 3, mu and a runway length of 3 kilometers.
③. The Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway that runs through the north and south passes through Yanjin County, yiliang county and Zhaoyang District of Zhaotong City, followed by Panzhao Railway, Zhaobi Railway, Liuweizhao Intercity Railway and Dongqiao Railway, and the existing neijiang-kunming railway capacity expansion and transformation (Zhaotong-Huize-Kunming) will form the railway hub of Zhaotong. When the Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway is completed, Zhaotong will become Chongqing in the north and enter the one-hour economic circle in central Yunnan in the south. Zhaotong leaves in all directions. Yibin-Xichang-Panzhihua Railway is planned to pass through Shuifu City of Zhaotong City, Suijiang County and Leibo County of Sichuan Province, and Yongshan County and Leibo County are separated by a river. In the future, building a bridge across the river can also solve the dream of high-speed rail for Yongshan people to travel. It is not a dream for Zhaotong to realize high-speed rail for counties and counties. The 12 expressways planned and built by Zhaotong will be completed and opened to traffic soon. By then, Zhaotong will be the only one in Yunnan that has water, land, air and air simultaneously.
④ Zhaotong is rich in tourism resources. The famous scenic spots in Zhaotong are Dashanbao Black-necked Crane National Nature Reserve in Zhaoyang District, National Wetland Park, with beautiful scenery. Jigongshan Grand Canyon is refreshing. grand canyon west Hot Spring in Shuifu City is a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot, which twists and turns like a python crawling on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Spring water is rich in metasilicic acid, sulfur, lithium, bromine, selenium, hydrogen, copper, strontium and other trace elements beneficial to human health, followed by Yiliang Xiaocaoba Scenic Area, Yanjin Doushaguan Scenic Area, Yongshan Johnny Ma Miao Huashan Festival, Zhenxiong Wude Tiankeng Cave and Xiaoshanxia Scenic Area. In fact, there are many undeveloped scenic spots in Zhaotong. Because of the backward traffic in Zhaotong after the founding of New China, there are many scenic spots in bred in an inner chamber, with no one knowing her. Welcome friends from afar to come to Zhaotong to find out.
⑤. Zhaotong is rich in hydropower resources. The annual power generation of the three world-class hydropower stations in Zhaotong can illuminate half of China. The coal sulfur reserves of mineral resources rank first in the province, of which the coal reserves are 2.9 billion tons, accounting for 36.3% of the total reserves in the province. The lignite reserves in Zhaotong Basin are 8.7 billion tons, making it the second largest lignite field in southern China. Pyrite is one of the five largest mining areas in China, nonferrous metals are one of the three bases in Yunnan, and labor resources are also in the forefront of the province.
To sum up, Zhaotong has a unique natural geographical advantage, coupled with a transportation network extending in all directions and abundant labor and natural resources. In the future, Zhaotong can't keep a low profile, and its strength is not allowed. May Zhaotong's tomorrow be better and people's lives be happier and healthier. Come on, Zhaotong!
