Extended data:
At present, there are 14 prefecture-level cities in Guangxi, with uneven development. Although Guangxi has a good geographical position, its positioning has been inaccurate for a long time, which leads to different development directions of cities. If you want to divide the development direction of Guangxi 14 prefecture-level cities, you can simply use four economic circles to distinguish them:
1, Nanning Capital Economic Circle: Nanning Capital Economic Circle is the economic circle with the greatest development opportunity in Guangxi at present. Under the strategy of strengthening the city, Nanning has promoted the development of many surrounding areas. Although this circle only includes Nanning, Chongzuo, Guigang, Qinzhou, Baise, Laibin and Hechi at present, it has become the political, economic, transportation, science and technology and education center of Guangxi, and its influence is still relatively large.
2. Southeast Guangxi Economic Circle: This circle is dominated by the Han nationality, and it is highly related to Guangdong's economy. The economic circle in southeastern Guangxi includes three coastal cities: Qinbei, Yulin, Wuzhou, Hezhou and Guigang, with a large population and a large number of migrant workers, mainly concentrated in the Pearl River Delta. Because of the similarity with Guangdong culture, the economic circle in southeast Guangxi mainly relies on Guangdong's development in an attempt to become the industrial undertaking place of the Pearl River Delta. However, at present, the direction of Guangdong is not here. After all, there are still large areas in Guangdong that have not developed.
3. Guiliu Economic Circle: This circle is dominated by Guiliu dialect, including Guilin, Liuzhou, Hechi and Hezhou. This circle is dominated by Guilin and Liuzhou, attracting the surrounding population with its own characteristic industries. Guilin is dominated by tourism, information electronics and medicine, while Liuzhou is dominated by traditional industries such as machinery manufacturing, automobiles and steel. The economy of this circle is relatively mature at present, but there is not much room for growth.
4. Western national economic circle. This circle is mainly based on the economic underdevelopment of Baise, Hechi and Chongzuo. The traffic here is relatively inconvenient, with many mountains and rich national characteristics, relying on long-term investment. At present, the main task is to help the poor and develop the economy, and some areas have gradually achieved poverty alleviation. Characteristic tourism and characteristic agriculture are the main economic pillars of this area.
Among the four economic circles in Guangxi, Nanning Capital Economic Circle is dominant, followed by Guiliu Economic Circle, Southeast Guangxi Economic Circle and Western Ethnic Economic Circle. However, in recent years, the economic circle in southeast Guangxi has gradually caught up, and may surpass the development of Guilin and Liuzhou economic circles in the next few years.
