Why Xiangyang can be found so well? I will answer from the following points.

Inherited advantages

Xiangyang has been known as "the thoroughfare of seven provinces, with ships traveling from the south to the north" since ancient times. It has always been a channel for trade and cultural exchanges between the north and the south. The location is superior and the transportation is convenient. Xiangyang borders Sichuan and Shaanxi to the west, Jianghan to the east, Hunan and Guangdong to the south, and Wanluo to the north. It is a transportation hub for the adjacent areas of Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Henan provinces. Today's Xiangyang has outstanding transportation advantages. "A Han River, two airports, three railways, and four highways extending in all directions" is a portrayal of Xiangyang's three-dimensional water, land, and air transportation, and it is worthy of being a battleground for military strategists.

Now Xiangyang also has advantages in transportation. Xiangyang North Station is a road network two-way tandem three-level seven-yard special marshalling yard. It is one of the nine major railway marshalling yards in China and the largest one-way marshalling yard in Asia. The tandem railway marshalling station is one of the core hubs in China's eight-vertical and eight-horizontal railway transportation network. It is responsible for the three main railway lines of Han-Dan, Jiao-Liu, and Xiang-Chongqing in five directions (Zhengzhou, Chongqing, Liuzhou, Luoyang, and Danjiang). ), the rebuilt Xiangyang Dongjin Station is the largest high-speed rail station in the country that is not a provincial capital (station area is 98,000 square meters, 9 trains and 20 lines), and the newly built Xiangyang Airport T2 Terminal also makes Xiangyang a hubei province. The second largest airport (24,000 square meters), Xiangyang has Xiangyang Port. Therefore, the city of Xiangyang is destined not to be unknown.

Individual advantages

Xiangyang is an industrial city with a good industrial foundation and a complete range of industries. Xiangyang is famous for its automobile industry, agricultural product processing industry, equipment manufacturing, pharmaceutical and chemical industry, electronic information, new energy, new materials, etc. It has central enterprises in the military industry such as aviation, aerospace, Jihua, and weapons, as well as Second Automobile Industry, Xiangzhou Axis, Taichi Semiconductor, and Vanguard. Zhou Electric, Zhui Ri Electric, Huitian Plastic Industry, Camel Battery and other enterprises. The industrial output value in 2016 was 705.4 billion yuan, which shows that industry has a prominent position in Xiangyang.

One principal and two auxiliaries

One principal and two auxiliaries is a strategy established by Hubei in order to prevent Wuhan from becoming a dominant city. It also establishes that Wuhan radiates to the Wuhan city circle and Xiangyang radiates to ten cities. Yichang radiates to Yijing and Jingjing, ultimately driving the development of the entire province. For example: Wuhan is the squad leader of Hubei, while Xiangyang and Yichang are the deputy squad leaders of Hubei. They are all highly matched in terms of policies and personnel, with one chief and two deputy officers, one chief and Wuhan, and two deputy chiefs and Xiangyang and Yichang. Wuhan is the central city of Hubei, and Xiangyang is the sub-central city of Hubei. It is also called: provincial sub-center. City. It is these factors that have made Xiangyang what it is today.

Xiangyang is the second largest city in Hubei Province and the central city in the Han River Basin in my country. Its economic strength ranks third among similar cities in the central and western regions (non-provincial capitals, excluding municipalities directly under the Central Government).

Regarding the topic asked by enthusiastic netizens: "Why can Xiangyang, Hubei Province develop so well?", my opinion is for reference only:

①

I am getting older The locals in Hubei should all know that the local area is the core area of ??the "Third Front Construction". State-owned factories began to be laid out around 1960, and eventually formed the second largest industrial center in Hubei Province (refer to the picture above). According to incomplete statistics, Xiangyang's economy once reached the level of the top 40 in the country. Although Xiangyang is the first strong agricultural city in the Yangtze River Basin, it does not conflict with its positioning as an industrial city.

② Thanks to its industrial foundation, Xiangyang was gradually built into an industrialized city with a full range of categories in 1978. The influence of Xiangyang at that time can be seen from the fact that it was later selected as one of the "Top Ten Star Industrial Cities in China".

③ The older generation of contributors who work in enterprises and institutions should have heard more or less that "Xiangyang has long-term reference to revitalizing the old industrial base in Northeast China" to support the city with equal treatment. In addition, it has also compared with "Western China" Strategic support related to "Great Development" has the most direct and helpful effect on the development of Xiangyang.

The above are all summarized by me from the literature and materials I have come into contact with. They are only used to illustrate this topic. I answer the questions in a pragmatic manner, answer rationally and seriously, and are not propaganda.

Since the explanation is very clear, other information will not be cited as auxiliary reference. Thank you all for understanding Xiangyang and loving Xiangyang!

Xiangyang is a famous cultural city with a long history and a strategic location. This is like an old man who has practiced martial arts for many years, and is obviously slightly inferior to those in Yichang that has just been developed and constructed recently, that's all.

We must make great contributions, and I think: in the near future, Xiangyang will definitely be like a dragon going out to sea, pouring its energy into the sky, and leaping into the ranks of the first-class metropolises in the country!
