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. I live in an, and I don't find the traffic inconvenient, especially after the opening of the high-speed rail. It is convenient to go anywhere. The throughput of Xi 'an An Airport is higher than that of Wuhan, so the traffic problem is not a big problem. In my opinion, the development potential of these two cities is similar, and they are both important regional towns, one is 027 and the other is 029. Education is the top in the country. Of course, I prefer Wuhan to high school education, and the middle school attached to China Normal University is better than that attached to Xigong University. The disadvantage of Wuhan is that it is too hot. One of the stoves, when living in Wuhan, basically started the stove mode in April. The climate here is better than Xi 'an 'an, but Xi 'an is usually in Wuhan in winter, because there is heating in winter and smog kills Wuhan. 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 'an High-tech Zone has made great 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 that there is not much reference value. Xi 'an is a small city because of its scale and dependence. 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 entrepreneurial 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 the urban culture and historical evolution. In fact, it is impossible to judge this matter only by looking 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 location of coastal areas near Hong Kong and Macao. Next, the reason for the central government's decision. Then there are preferential policies and support from all over the country. Therefore, location and its economic and trade influence are the most important judgment basis.

Therefore, the position, function and weight of Wuhan and Xi in the future national development 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 very convenient to travel by boat. Today, the Longhai railway line extends to the northwest, connecting Lanzhou and Xining and exporting to Asia and Europe. The strategic location of the Belt and Road is not important. However, the cost of land transportation is too high and the volume is limited, which is neither cheaper nor faster than sea 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. This golden waterway connects the river with the ocean. There are Bashu in the west and Songhu in the east. Beijing-Guangzhou artery, north to Beijing and Tianjin, south to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. There is no big city within a thousand miles of the southeast and northwest. It has a long history, dating back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Educational science and technology, excellent. The number of college students is about 6.5438+0.8 million, ranking first in the country and first in the world. Hundreds of scientific research institutes, especially Optics Valley in Wuhan, lead the world in optical research, comparable to Silicon Valley in the United States. There are metallurgical, textile, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, machine tools, electromechanical, bridges, petroleum, chemical industry, electronics, shipping, tourism, finance and other industries. The gross domestic product has exceeded one trillion. At present, Wuhan is still low-key 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 elevated roads have been completed, and the outer ring is under construction. The average wage of enterprise employees is about 6000 yuan/month, and the price is relatively low and stable. The house price in the central city is only 20 thousand square meters. It has not yet obtained preferential policies for major projects from the central government.

Wuhan and Xi 'an 'an, with the above comparison, are equally divided, and the order can be determined. But who becomes a first-tier city first must be considered by the overall planning of the central country's economic construction, and will never be influenced by personal preferences and emotions.
