Datong will enter a new development cycle. This ancient and young city is brewing new passion for development and will show endless vitality. With a new direction and a new path, another spring of Datong's rise has come.

Historical and cultural city is

Datong's iconic brand

Datong is the first batch of national historical and cultural cities announced by the State Council, and it is a true portrayal of big cities. Datong is rich in thousands of years of historical and cultural relics, which plays a very important role in the whole country and even in the world. Therefore, the overall plan determines that Datong should focus on developing tourism and build a competitive industrial brand.

From the perspective of a famous historical and cultural city, the concept of "city" tourism system construction is highlighted. Show the clear vein of Datong from its origin to development with the historical axis of the city, and dig deep to show the historical and cultural connotation of Datong; Integrating tourism resources with the concept of taking the city as space, transforming independent and scattered scenic spots into an organic whole system, greatly enhancing the overall image and influence of Datong historical and cultural tourism resources; Protect and develop the city as a new resource, and form a complete "historical block of Pingcheng" through systematic construction, creating new world-oriented tourism resources for Datong.

Relying on the advantages of energy industry

Establish a new processing industry

The advantages of minerals and energy support Datong and determine its important position in North China. The contribution of coal industry to Datong's economic growth is very important, but the problems existing in coal production are also very prominent, the cost of economic development is very high, and the mode of economic growth needs to be changed urgently. Datong has embarked on a new path of intensive development, connotation development, green development, comprehensive and efficient development and harmonious and civilized development, and has realized the transformation from a big city of coal resources to a big city of coal industry.

The "Master Plan" emphasizes on the positioning, relying on the pillar advantages of energy industry built by Datong for decades, and combining with the current macro-industrial policies and market conditions, it should be utilized and transformed. To put it simply, it is from the "mining-export" mode to the "mining-processing" mode, from the industrial type of pollution in the whole process to the goal of clean energy production through technological transformation, thus seeking a new way out for Datong's rich mineral resources.

The central city of northern Shanxi

Datong is located at the northern end of Shanxi Province, in the northern metropolitan area of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. It is the third largest metropolitan group in China, namely "Greater Beijing Area". As we all know, most of the important cities in Shanxi Province are concentrated in the south, and there is only Datong in the north. Under the situation that Taiyuan plays a driving and promoting role in the central part of the province, Datong is the leader of the economic development in the north. Datong is located in the center of the triangle structure composed of Beijing, Hohhot and Taiyuan, especially the traffic links between the three cities mainly pass through Datong, so Datong is the transportation hub in this area.

"Datong" and "coal capital" will always appear together, whether it is a geography book in primary school or any article introducing Datong. Coal is the treasure of Datong, but it is also the lingering pain of Datong? The title of "Coal Capital" conceals the most vital aspect of Datong-the economic vitality brought by location is more sustainable. It is precisely for this reason that the concept of "operating city" is introduced into the overall planning of the city, and the concept of "central city in northern Shanxi" is mentioned in the urban development agenda.

"Master Plan" determines the urban spatial structure of "one main and two auxiliary, fan-shaped group" in the main urban area of Datong, that is, with the urban area as the core and Yudong District and Kouquan District as the two wings, three relatively independent urban groups are formed. Each group has a moderate scale and different functional characteristics, and * * * constitutes the political, economic and cultural core area of Datong.

A famous historical city, an important energy town and the center of northern Shanxi province, it summarizes everything in Datong's future. 15 years later, when we walk on the street of new Datong, we feel a small northern town with ancient and modern coexistence, urban and rural development, economic prosperity and social civilization.
