Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea. Zhanjiang has the highest per capita coastline in the country, with beautiful scenery and abundant scenery. The first batch of coastal cities in China to open up to the outside world, the first self-designed and built deep-water harbor in New China, and the first cross sea railway in China... Zhanjiang bears a dazzling halo and therefore carries higher expectations. The economic strength once ranked second in Guangdong; At that time, we had a brief encounter with Qingdao, and there was a saying that "there is Qingdao in the north and Zhanjiang in the south". Today, although there is some 'mid autumn' in GDP, it also means that there is huge development potential and infinite space. A thousand meteorologies come from the sea. Guangdong's construction of a strong marine province has pressed the "acceleration button" to build a characteristic modern marine city. Zhanjiang is once again embarking on the journey of catching up with the sea, dancing with the sea, and letting go of the sea! The wind came from the sea and started early in Zhanjiang. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, she has integrated ports, airports, and trains, which can be said to be rare in the country; The level of higher education is among the top in the province, with both the number of universities and the number of college students enrolled, ranking second only to Guangzhou for a long time. In the 1960s, Zhanjiang was already the second largest economic city in Guangdong, with unparalleled scenery compared to Qingdao. In 1984, it became one of the first 14 coastal open cities in China. In the 1980s, the spring breeze of reform swept the coastal areas. When various cities in the Pearl River Delta compete to attract foreign investment and fully develop industry, Zhanjiang focuses on the "two waters and one animal husbandry" of aquatic products, fruits, and animal husbandry. Although agriculture has achieved certain results, it is naturally difficult to catch up with the growth of "wind" cities. Afterwards, the strategic layout of "large ports, large industries, large circulation, and great development" made Zhanjiang feel a sense, but it was still quite difficult to catch up with and surpass. Zhanjiang is located far away, making it difficult to enjoy the development dividends of the Pearl River Delta in close proximity; Moreover, the smuggling cases that have alarmed the whole country have also affected the local ecology and development momentum. It was not until the early stages of this century that Zhanjiang proposed the concept of "industrial city" that the economy slowly "revived". Time flies, and feelings intertwine with the past, while Zhanjiang values the future more. Last year, Zhanjiang's GDP was 371.241 billion yuan, ranking ninth in the province. With the accelerated pace of the country's management of the South China Sea and the development of the sea, the Hainan Free Trade Port, the new land and sea channel in the west, and the Gulf of Tonkin urban agglomeration... the national strategy is frequently settled in Zhanjiang, where the future is particularly promising. Location: Zhanjiang is located at the intersection of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan provinces, with its back facing the central and southwestern hinterland and facing the vast South China Sea; Having the shortest voyage from mainland China to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Oceania provides great convenience for the import and export of goods. Looking at strategy: Zhanjiang has been pushed to the forefront of national strategic linkage development, and the functional effectiveness of Xuwen Port is even more important. Starting from Xuwen Port, the sea distance to Haikou Xinhai Port is only 12 nautical miles, and the sea voyage time is one hour. Hainan Free Trade Port is in sight. Every year, over 12 million passengers enter and exit Hainan Island through Xuwen Port. Xuwen Port, the world's largest passenger and cargo ro/ro port. South+reporter Xiao Xiong, Guo Longbi, correspondent Zhang Fengfeng, photographed the story of "Guangdong and Hainan develop in opposite directions", which is being staged - on both the north and south sides of the Qiongzhou Strait, Xuwen Port comprehensive transportation hub has become the world's largest passenger and cargo ro ro terminal,
