Yantai, a coastal city in the middle of Shandong Peninsula, borders Weihai in the east, Jinan in the west, Qingdao in the southwest, Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea in the north, and faces Dalian. Not only that, but also communication with South Korea and Japan is extremely convenient.
However, as the first batch of coastal open cities in China, Yantai has lagged behind other brother cities for a long time. Even in Shandong, it was not only far from Qingdao, but also surpassed by Weihai, a coastal open city, and its economic strength once ranked fifth in Shandong.
The reform began in 2002, when the Yantai municipal government put forward the concept of "big Yantai" and put large-scale design, planning and development into practice. After years of hard work, from the perspective of comprehensive strength, Yantai's GDP last year was 630 billion yuan, ranking 20 th among municipalities directly under the central government, provincial capital cities and cities with separate plans. It can be said that it has entered the first phalanx. It is the third largest city in Shandong Province. Shandong is the city with the second strongest economic strength. In addition, it has won the title of national civilized city and the safest city in China for three consecutive times. 85% of counties and cities have entered the ranks of national and provincial garden cities, forming a diversified and ecological garden city group.
Visitors in Yantai may find that compared with Qingdao, Yantai's commercial service industry is not very developed. Yantai people usually don't have much cultural and entertainment activities, and various shops have an early night break every day.
Judging from the current competitive situation, Yantai has Dalian in the north and Qingdao in the south. If you do well, you can make ends meet, and if you do badly, you will be attacked from front to back. Therefore, Yantai should take the initiative to connect Qingdao to the peninsula and truly play a leading role in the development of the blue economic zone.
But compared with Weifang and Yantai, the traffic is more developed. Every tourist season, a large number of tourists come to visit. Yantai is clean, the sky is blue, there are no discarded garbage bags on the road, and the air is better. I think Yantai is a beautiful seaside city.
Weifang is a famous kite capital. In my memory, it was either a kite or a radish. No, no, no, it doesn't exist. I feel like I'm back in Weifang, and I have no place to play. ...
As far as education is concerned, there are many universities in Yantai: Yantai University, shandong institute of business and technology and ludong university, all of which are well-known undergraduate schools, while Weifang has only Weifang College and Weifang Medical College, and my best friend is in Weifang College ... Tut tut ... In terms of school area and school construction, Weifang is much less than Yantai.
In fact, the consumption level of Yantai is much higher than that of Weifang. Comparatively speaking, the price in Weifang will be lower.
I feel that Yantai is cleaner, but Weifang looks a little old. In Weifang, you can rarely see the clear and clean sky, but Yantai is very common.
Personally, Yantai is more developed than Weifang.
Otherwise, why would I want to stay in Yantai and not go home ~
First of all, compared with urban construction, Weifang covers an area of158.59 million square kilometers, but the urban built-up area is 232 square kilometers, Yantai covers an area of 13745.95 square kilometers, and the urban built-up area is 324 square kilometers, which is closer to Weifang 100 square kilometers. Therefore, the urbanization level of Yantai is higher than Weifang. In addition, the number of colleges and universities in Yantai is much higher than that in Weifang, and the consumption level of young consumers attracted by the large number of colleges and universities is also much higher. Yantai also has a military academy: Naval Aviation University, which is not only in Weifang, but also in many other prefecture-level cities in the province. Yantai's entertainment consumption includes Joy City, two wanda plaza, Zhenhua Shopping Mall, New World, Xinduhui, Red Star International Plaza, Ginza, Jiashike and many other business districts, and Weifang is far less developed than Yantai.
Secondly, from the comparison of the GDP data of two cities and counties and the cities under their jurisdiction, the GDP data of Yantai in 20 17 years are: development zone GDP14 billion, Zhifu district GDP 474 billion, Muping district GDP 359 billion, Fushan district GDP 290 billion and Laishan GDP 270 billion. The GDP data of Weifang in 20 17 is: 555 1 100 million in Hanting District, 26.63 billion in Kuiwen District, 65.438+0.943 billion in Fangzi District and 28.40 billion in Weicheng District. Judging from the GDP value of the urban area, Yantai's GDP is obviously higher than Weifang's, and the GDP of county-level cities is not mentioned here, otherwise some people will say that Yantai is basically a city called economic output value by county-level cities. Therefore, Yantai is more developed than Weifang in terms of economic output in urban areas.
Finally, relative to the geographical location, Yantai is located in the coastal area, with a deep-water harbor and beautiful coastal scenery, which goes without saying. Let's pay attention to Weifang again. It is an embarrassing city in Shandong Province, which is located at the neck of Shandong Province. It belongs neither to Jiaodong nor to Luzhong. The climate is windy all the year round, and the winter climate is far less humid than Yantai. In addition, although Yantai apple Laiyang pear can't catch up with Weifang radish skin, Weifang products.
The advantage of Weifang over Yantai is that the price is much lower than Yantai. Please leave a message if you have different opinions.
As a Weifang person, I have to say that at present, Yantai's development is really better, and its GDP ranks in Jinan, the leading capital of Shandong Province. As an open coastal city, Yantai has both policy support and geographical advantages, as well as the famous Zhaoyuan Gold Mine (local tyrant)! Yantai mainly focuses on grain, gold, machinery and electronics. As its pillar industry. The sales and transportation of products are quite mature and have great development prospects. It is a bit difficult for Jinan to catch up. Weifang has also developed rapidly in recent years, and its GDP ranks fourth among 17 prefecture-level cities in the province. Heavy industry (Wei Chai, Futian) and light industry (electronics, clothing) developed well. I hope Weifang will have a better development in the future.
According to the total GDP, Yantai is about 65.438+03 billion higher than Weifang, and the per capita GDP is about 30,000 yuan higher. Yantai's overall economic situation is higher than Weifang's, but in terms of average purchasing power, Yantai is much worse than Weifang's. The goods that can best reflect the real development speed and purchasing power of a city should be cars. Weifang's car ownership and new car registration are much higher than Yantai's. A little rich.
We are optimistic about Weifang's future potential. Next year, the Qing Ji high-speed railway will be opened to traffic, and the Beijing-Shanghai Second Line will set up a station in Weifang, which will greatly improve the convenience and importance of traffic. Jiaodong Airport will be put into use next year, and it takes about 25 minutes from Weifang North Station to the airport station. The convenience is even better than that of Qingdao, and the Weifang-Qingdao metropolitan area will be truly formed, which will have a great impact on foreign investment and industrial upgrading. It is suggested that Weifang Airport should be transformed into a freight airport to attract high-end industries and actively develop high density. Take Gaomi as the docking area of the airport economic zone, just as Langfang is the first docking area. Plan the area between Weifang and Qingdao into a real economy industrial belt, and the main city of Weifang will develop eastward. The two cities will gradually plan and develop government services for the flow of people in the same city, so that Weifang can benefit from Qingdao's high-quality education, medical care and scientific research resources and enhance the substantive integration of the two urban circles. I believe Weifang and Qingdao can become the pivotal twin cities circle in the north.
The criteria to measure whether a country is developed are: highly developed productive forces, relatively high gross national product (GDP) and per capita GDP, advanced industrial structure, the proportion of tertiary industry in the national economic structure is generally above 60%, a sound market economic system, a high degree of economic internationalization and a large foreign trade volume.
Similarly, to measure whether a city is more developed, we should also use these indicators to measure it, so that it can be more convincing and easier to understand.
Let's take a look at the indicators of these two economically strong cities in Shandong Province.
First of all, look at the total national economy.
In 20 17, Yantai achieved a GDP of 733.895 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 6.5%, ranking second among cities in Shandong province, while Weifang achieved a GDP of 585.86 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 7%, ranking fourth among cities in Shandong province. In terms of gross national product, Yantai is ahead of Weifang148 billion yuan.
Second, look at per capita GDP and per capita disposable income.
In 20 17, Yantai's per capita GDP was GDP 103706 yuan, up by 5.9%, and the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 4 1837 yuan, up by 8%. Weifang's per capita GDP was 62,572 yuan, and urban per capita disposable income was 36,286 yuan, an increase of 8%.
Third, look at the strength of scientific and technological innovation.
Yantai industrial strategic emerging industries achieved an output value of 3.31.43.4 billion yuan, an increase of 1.0% over the previous year, accounting for 22.3% of the total industrial output value above designated size.
Weifang achieved an output value of 4 165 1 100 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.2%, accounting for 34.35% of the industrial output value above designated size.
Yantai has 144 enterprise technology centers above the provincial level, 94 engineering technology research centers above the provincial level, and 18 key laboratories above the provincial level. Won 3 second prizes of national scientific and technological progress and Shandong Science and Technology 18 Prize. The number of applications for invention patents and the number of authorizations in the whole year were 4,375 and 1238 respectively. During the year, * * * introduced 35,200 talents of all kinds in the city, with 3,530 people with master's degree or above.
Weifang has newly built 39 municipal engineering technology research centers, 48 municipal key laboratories and 25 provincial academician workstations. There were 5593 domestic invention patent applications and 278 domestic invention patents granted/kloc-0. We introduced 32 high-level talents11person, 530 high-end foreign experts, and organized and implemented 335 projects to introduce talents.
Fourth, look at the development level of foreign trade and tourism.
In 20 17, the total import and export volume of Yantai goods was 307.76 billion yuan, an increase of 6.3% over the previous year. Among them, imports 1337. 1 1 100 million yuan, an increase of 6.5%; Exports reached 654.38+074.049 billion yuan, up 665.438+0%.
The total import and export volume of Weifang reached 65.438+04.638 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 654.38+075.438+0%. Among them, the export was 95.29 billion yuan, up by 15.9%. Imports were 5010.90 billion yuan, up by 19.4%.
Yantai received 71573,500 tourists, an increase of 10.0% over the previous year. The total tourism consumption in the whole year was 9,665,438+45 million yuan, an increase of 14.6% over the previous year.
Weifang received 68.055 million tourists, up by 1 1.3%, and achieved a total tourism consumption of 77.59 billion yuan, up by 14.6%.
Fifth, look at the financial strength of the city.
Yantai's annual general budget revenue was 60.032 billion yuan, an increase of 6.4% over the previous year. The national tax revenue was 96.269 billion yuan, up 9.4% over the previous year. At the end of the year, the balance of local and foreign currency deposits in financial institutions was 793.264 billion yuan, including 256.657 billion yuan in non-financial enterprises and 465.438+07.494 billion yuan in household deposits.
Weifang's annual general budget revenue was 53,965.438 billion yuan, an increase of 8.5%. Among them, tax revenue was 40.76 billion yuan, an increase of 9.2%. At the end of 20 17, the balance of local and foreign currency deposits of financial institutions was 76 13 1 billion yuan, up by 7.3%, of which household deposits were 427.97 billion yuan, up by 6.3%.
To sum up, according to the definition of developed degree, Yantai is ahead of Weifang in terms of gross national product, per capita GDP, per capita disposable income, science and technology, foreign trade, tourism and finance. So generally speaking, Yantai, as a coastal city, is relatively developed compared with Weifang.
However, the development of Weifang should not be underestimated. The output value of Weifang's high-tech industry is higher than Yantai's, and the number of invention patent applications and invention patent authorizations is slightly higher than Yantai's.
We hope that these two strong cities in Shandong Province will develop better in the future!
This year is my fourth year of studying in Yantai. It is the four years in your that have changed the streets and lanes of Yantai, and witnessed that Zhifu District of Yantai City where I live has hardly changed.
In terms of economic aggregate, Yantai ranks second in Shandong Province, second only to Qingdao. Even so, I found a very prominent problem in Yantai. In Alipay, except the bustling street of South Street, other places are like a small county town, which is very ordinary.
I have never been to Weifang, but before the college entrance examination, I heard that Weifang is a big city for college entrance examination, and I did the college entrance examination simulation the next day.
But if Yantai is a livable city, I really have no opinion. I didn't really see what the blue sky looked like until Yantai. The sweetness I saw in our hometown before was not blue, but gray!
In short, Yantai is still a very good city. I love Yantai, it's hard to leave!
I'm from Yantai. I study in Weifang. I'm safe here. I think every place has its merits, and there is no need to affect the harmony between the two sides because of its strength. It's all our big Shandong. A family. Isn't it?
At present, for Shandong 17, the word' developed' is not appropriate. Only Qingdao, if it continues to maintain a good development trend, can hope to become the leader of developed cities in China in the future. Judging from the situation of Yantai and Weifang and the strategic layout of the whole province at this stage, Weifang is most likely to become a dual-core integration area of economy and youth. Even if the city has glory, it will be lost in the glory of the larger metropolitan area. Yantai, on the other hand, must be unique, emulate Suzhou instead of competing with Shanghai, maintain and develop the original and possible advantages of the city, and take Qingdao as a benchmark to learn from others and make up for them, so as to have a chance to shine. ...
I am from Weifang, my daughter-in-law is from Yantai, and my grandfather is from Yantai. I have been working in Weifang since the old revolution and the war years. So these two cities are my favorites. Yantai has beautiful scenery and many places of interest, and Yantai people are generally hospitable and generous. Weifang is a developed and famous kite capital. According to the current GDP, Weifang is not as good as Yantai, but Weifang has full stamina. Weifang and Yantai will be the most competitive cities in Shandong in the future after Qingdao.
