cityscape
The whole Zhengzhou, in my opinion, is simply too small. It takes only half an hour to get to Erqi Road in the center by bus from the edge of the city. There are about three cities in Zhengzhou that are not as big as Wuhan. Zhengzhou is better than Wuhan in greening urban sanitation. Basically, it is surrounded by big trees and the streets are relatively clean. The greening in Zhengzhou is a simple greening in the north, which is not as ornamental as that in Wu Hanyou, but it is very practical. In this respect, they can compete with Qingshan District in Wuhan, and only Qingshan District can compete with them in greening. However, there are not so many high-rise buildings in Zhengzhou as in Wu Hanyou, so it is often seen that trees are taller than houses, which also shows that the greening in Zhengzhou is better than that in Wuhan. Perhaps it is because Zhengzhou's industry is underdeveloped and there are not many factories. I always feel that the air in Zhengzhou is not bad. Of course, this does not include the days of sandstorms, but their rivers, especially the Jinshui River, are simply smelly rivers. Smelly people are dizzy and the pollution is too serious. Generally speaking, Zhengzhou is better than Wuhan in this respect.
urban communications
Compared with Wuhan, the road in Zhengzhou is much narrower. Even their main road has only six lanes, which has to be counted in the bicycle lane. Unlike Wuhan, many roads in Zhengzhou do not have special bicycle lanes, but are mixed with motor vehicle lanes, and the sidewalks are also very narrow compared with Wuhan, so bicycles and cars can often be seen in the same lane, which is really dangerous. The buses in Zhengzhou probably run slowly because the city roads are too narrow. Unlike buses in Wuhan, they can be racing cars. Zhengzhou road is narrow, but there are many people. After all, Henan is a populous province, especially near the railway station. Their railway station and coach stand together, and there is a small commodity market similar to Hanzheng Street in Wuhan nearby, and Erqi Road, a prosperous commercial area, is also nearby. Although it's not as broken as Wuchang Railway Station, it's absolutely chaotic. You should be especially careful when crossing the road. In a word, Zhengzhou lags far behind Wuhan in terms of transportation.
Business and tourism
Zhengzhou is known as the trade city, but I really don't appreciate their service attitude. First of all, Zhengzhou Railway Station has a very bad attitude, so I won't say much about it. Who wants him to be the boss? Once I ordered something in a restaurant. I am the only guest at this time, but it took me a long time to get what I wanted. In other restaurants, California beef noodles are the same. It's only a word slow, and it cost me seven and a half dollars. There is a road in Zhengzhou called Erqi Road, which is their bustling commercial street, equivalent to our Jianghan Road. There is also a pedestrian street here, but it is far from Jianghan Road. I'm afraid it's not a quarter as long as Jianghan Road, and many of the things sold are inferior parallel imports. There are no interesting places in Zhengzhou, such as the Wu Hanyou River Beach, but the Yellow River Beach in Zhengzhou is full of stones. Their parks are also small, and some are not as big as a community in Wuhan. There are no places of interest in Zhengzhou, only the Guqintai on the Yellow River Tower in Wu Hanyou. There are really no interesting places in Zhengzhou without mountains and water, unlike Wuhan, Yellow Crane Tower in Wu Hanyou, East Lake Beach and Wuhan. In a word, Zhengzhou is not a good place to spend or travel. There are many interesting places near Zhengzhou, such as Xuchang, Luoyang and Kaifeng, all ancient cities, and there are more places of interest than Hubei.
natural environment
Zhengzhou is a place with frequent sandstorms in spring and autumn. Because it belongs to the plain, there is no mountain to stop it, so the sandstorm is particularly big. One thing that people from other places, especially those from the south, don't adapt to here is that the water here is really bad. Because it is extracted underground, the water is particularly hard. Even the locally produced mineral water Coca-Cola tastes much worse than that produced by Wuhan itself. Zhengzhou is also very hot in summer, but it is not as stuffy as Wuhan, so it is not so uncomfortable. Especially at night, the wind is very strong, so the summer night in Zhengzhou is absolutely comfortable. Unlike Wuhan, you can't spend the summer without air conditioning.
Industrial industry
Speaking of which, there is basically no industry here. There is a Yutong bus called Zhengzhou Nissan, but others are not impressed. But there are many food industries near Zhengzhou. Miss Tangyuan, Shuanghui Ham and Sanquan jiaozi all come from here. Henan is better than Hubei in the reprocessing of agricultural products. In Zhengzhou, you can often see things made in Wuhan, such as buses in Wuhan Bus Factory, Fukang cars in Wuhan, mineral water in Wuhan and so on. But things made in Zhengzhou are not common in Wuhan, which also shows that Zhengzhou's industry is really not good. But this is all right, there is no pollution without industry, but this is not conducive to the development of the city after all, and it is not good for ordinary people to have no money in their pockets.
Education and culture
I'm afraid there is only one university in Zhengzhou that can win the favor of the whole country. China University of Mining and Technology, China University of Science and Technology, once wanted to move to Zhengzhou, but it was also rejected by the leaders at that time. I don't know how short-sighted people were at that time, and I don't know how many people a nearby university could support, so many Henan college students in Wu Hanyou. Their scientific and technological strength is much worse than ours. Without universities, their scientific and technological strength will naturally be less, so I won't say much. On the streets of Zhengzhou, we can often see Hubei's "Excerpts from Everyone's Articles" and "Special Concern" magazines, but we can't see Henan newspapers and periodicals on the streets of Wuhan, which also shows that we are better than them in media. They have Dahe newspaper, which is similar to our Chutian Metropolis Daily, but it was May Day when I went, and Dahe newspaper was closed. I only read one or two books, not many comments. I can only say that their Dahe newspaper is thicker than ours, from computer consultation to raising cats and dogs to abstracts.
Diet life
Northerners like noodles, and Zhengzhou is no exception. In Zhengzhou, picture strips are very famous. Put a little meat on the handmade noodles, and it will be Lamian Noodles. The key is to see what to do. The difference is that their bowl of noodles, even a small bowl, is almost the top of our two bowls, and the price is similar. Saute spicy chicken is also very famous in Zhengzhou, and it is really big. A large plate of chicken is enough for almost four people without eating anything else. If you drink too much wine and have some side dishes, your stomach will burst. But saute spicy chicken, in my opinion, is nothing more than a piece of potato roast chicken, but it is affordable, only about 30. These all reflect the generosity of northerners, but they are not so exquisite, not as colorful as Wuhan snacks, not as delicious as Wuhan, but more affordable than Wuhan.
In short, I personally feel that Zhengzhou is not as good as Wuhan in all aspects. He wants to be the leader of the central region. I think it is more virtual than real, and the name is not worthy of the name. Just living in Zhengzhou, don't worry about the heat in summer, greening is better than us. I think this is better than our Wuhan.
