Which is better, Xiangfan or Yichang?

As the sub-center of Hubei Province, these two cities are often compared. In fact, both the economic aggregate and the city scale are equal. If you have to compare, I personally think Yichang is slightly better. The reason is:

1 and Yichang have certain advantages. Xiangfan is the land hub in central China, but Yichang is the gateway of the Three Gorges, the throat of Sichuan and Hubei, the connecting point of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the bridgehead in the west. Geographically, with the development of the western region, Yichang has become a hub with the opening of Hanyi high-speed railway, Yiwan railway and Shanghai-Chongqing expressway.

2. Yichang has diverse geographical conditions, including plains, hills and mountains, and is rich in tourism resources, especially the modern water conservancy sightseeing with the Three Gorges Project as the core, which has greatly boosted the regional tourism economy. In addition, in recent years, Yichang's industrial projects have developed vigorously, which tends to widen the gap with Xiangfan.

3. The most important point is that, although the scale of the city is similar, the urban construction of Yichang is far better than that of Xiangfan, and it is also the only national civilized city in Hubei, which is a comprehensive embodiment of the strength of software and hardware, which is beyond the reach of Xiangfan.

I hope it helps you.
