China's Top Ten Cities with Economic Decline (Group Picture)

4、 Hohhot: decline index 9.4

Inner Mongolia is not a big economic province, and the economic competition is not fierce. Hohhot, the capital of the province, was very comfortable. But Baotou came out on the way and became the largest city in the province with the impressive economic growth rate of Inner Mongolia. Not only that, but also with the efforts of the whole people, Baotou also won the title of "National Civilized City". Hohhot now has to settle for the awkward title of "China's Milk Capital", which can be regarded as the most regrettable provincial capital.

3、 Harbin: decline index 9.6

Although Harbin rose in the early 20th century, it has developed very rapidly. In the early years of the Republic of China, Harbin became a super metropolis in China. The whole city of Harbin is full of Russian style buildings, known as "Oriental Moscow". At that time, Harbin was full of foreign flavor, and its fashion level could be the same as that of Shanghai and Tianjin. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Harbin has also become one of the top ten cities in China. However, with the overall decline of the northeast region, Harbin has also quietly faded. Today, many people do not think of Harbin when talking about China's top ten cities.

2、 Nanjing: decline index 9.8

Nanjing is called Nanjing because it can echo Beijing. The two capitals in the south and north of the Ming Dynasty were the most prosperous cities in China, and Nanjing became the capital of China during the Republic of China. However, since the Japanese massacre, Nanjing has been unable to recover its vitality for a long time, resulting in an embarrassing situation in Nanjing today. The gross domestic product (GDP) of Nanjing is gradually exceeded by Suzhou and Wuxi in the province, and it is difficult to echo Beijing, whose GDP is almost three times that of Nanjing. The per capita income, fixed investment, growth rate and other development indicators are not even as good as Changzhou, Yangzhou and other small cities, and their status as the provincial leader is in jeopardy.

1、 Xi'an: decline index 10

Xi'an may be the most lost city in China. The former capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which has been the leader in Chinese history for more than 800 years, declined after the Song Dynasty, but until the Republic of China, Xi'an was still the hegemon in the northwest. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xi'an was also one of the top ten cities in China. However, not only is Xi'an's total GDP more than 40 in China, but also its per capita GDP and per capita income level have been exceeded by Urumqi, which is emerging later. At the same time, the gap between Xi'an and Chongqing and Chengdu in the western region is widening. In the first half of 2008, Xi'an's GDP of 93.656 billion yuan was only one third of that of Chongqing.
