Which city is better, Wuhan or Xi 'an?

Wuhan and Xi are both big cities with a long history, one in the middle and the other in the northwest. Wuhan and Xi are both big education provinces with unparalleled economic development potential. Which is better, Wuhan or Xi 'an?

Wuhan is the thoroughfare of nine provinces. In the past, the geographical location absolutely killed Xi 'an, but now in the era of high-speed rail, Xi 'an Wuhan and Zhengzhou have the same status. I come from Wuhan and live in Xi 'an. I don't think the traffic is inconvenient, especially after the opening of the high-speed rail. It's convenient to go anywhere. The throughput of Xi 'an Airport is higher than that of Wuhan, so the traffic problem is not a big problem. In my opinion, the development potential of the two cities is similar, and they are both regional towns, one is 027 and the other is 029. Education and medical care are among the best in the country. Of course, I am still biased towards Wuhan in high school education, and the middle school attached to China Normal University is still stronger than that attached to Xigong University. The disadvantage of Wuhan is that it is too hot, and it is one of the stoves. Living in Wuhan, I basically started the stove mode in April. The climate here in Xi is better, but I usually stay in Wuhan in winter because of the heating and smog in Xi in winter. Then there is the economy, not to mention Wuhan Optical Valley. Although I lost the post-90s generation, yes, I was also engaged in it in junior high school, but now I have achieved something. Xi 'an High-tech Zone has made remarkable achievements, ranking fourth in the country, and there are high-level global and domestic well-known enterprises in both places. As for gdp, my personal opinion is of little reference value, which is determined by the size of the city and the mode of dependence. Xi is a small city. If we learn from the way of spreading cakes in Wuhan, Chengdu and other cities, gdp will go up quickly. For example, the recent annexation of Xianyang will have a gdp of over 10,000, but what practical significance will it have for the people? Personally, livable conditions, income level, medical education, humanistic environment, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, and climate environment are the first considerations, so Xi 'an, Wuhan, Chengdu, Changsha, Hangzhou and Nanjing are recommended in no particular order.

Who has more potential, Xi or Wuhan? Many people will look for reasons and basis from urban culture and historical evolution. In fact, judging this matter, we can't just look at history. Forty years ago, Shenzhen was just a fishing village, not even a county, but now it is a quasi-first-tier city. There are three main reasons why Shenzhen has become a first-tier city. First, the coast is close to Hong Kong and Macao. The next step is the central decision-making reason. Then there are preferential policies and support and help from all over the country. Therefore, location and its economic and trade influence are the most important judgment basis.

Therefore, the status, role and weight of Wuhan and Xi in the overall national development in the future are more obvious. Xi 'an, located in Qinglong, is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and has a profound historical accumulation. In ancient times, it was convenient to travel by boat. Now there is a Longhai railway line extending to the northwest, connecting Lanzhou and Xining and exporting to Asia and Europe. Its strategic position in the "Belt and Road Initiative" is not unimportant. However, the cost of land transportation is too high and the traffic volume is limited, which is not as cheap as sea transportation and not as fast as air transportation. Its agricultural geography, climate, rainfall and water resources are not ideal.

The location advantage of Wuhan is very obvious. Jianghan Plain, a land of plenty. Central China is the thoroughfare of nine provinces. The golden waterway leads to the sea. It is connected to Bashu in the west and Songhu in the east. The Beijing-Guangzhou artery reaches Beijing and Tianjin in the north and Guangzhou and Shenzhen in the south. In the southeast and northwest, within a thousand miles, no big city can match. It has a long history, dating back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Education and technology are outstanding. The number of college students is about 6.5438+0.8 million, ranking first in the country and first in the world. There are hundreds of scientific research institutes, especially optical research leading the world, Wuhan Optical Valley, comparable to Silicon Valley in the United States. There are complete industrial categories, and the GDP of metallurgy, textile, shipbuilding, car making, machine tools, electromechanical, bridges, petroleum, chemicals, electronics, shipping, tourism and finance has already exceeded one trillion. Wuhan is still keeping a low profile and gaining momentum, and municipal construction is in the ascendant. The infrastructure is improving day by day. There are 12 bridges and tunnels on the Yangtze River, and 10 bridges on the Han River. Metro Line 7 has started, the inner ring, second ring and third ring viaducts have been completed, and the outer ring is under construction. The average wage of enterprise employees is about 6 thousand yuan/month, and the price is relatively low and stable. The house price in the central city is only 20,000/square meter. Major projects and preferential policies of the central government have not yet been obtained.

Wuhan and Xi' an, with the above comparison, have been divided, and can be divided in order. But who becomes a first-tier city first depends on the overall planning of the central country's economic construction and will never be affected by personal preferences and emotions.
