What is the most beautiful border city in China?

Dandong is a municipality directly under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province and the largest border city in China. Located at the intersection of Yalu River and Yellow Sea in the southeast of Liaodong Peninsula Economic Open Zone, it is the center of Northeast Asian economic circle, facing Sinuiju City of Democratic People's Republic of Korea across the river in the east, bordering the Yellow Sea in the south, Anshan and Yingkou in the west, Dalian in the southwest and Benxi in the north. Dandong is a city that has been governed for a hundred years. It is unwilling to open its port. It should be said that it has brought prosperity to Dandong in history, and the advantages along the river and coast have indeed shown economic vitality. As an immigrant city in history, the pioneering spirit and survival motivation of immigrants also accumulated a high-spirited development atmosphere at the beginning of Dandong's establishment and after opening to the outside world. At the same time, Dandong also experienced the stage of capitalist development under the semi-colonial state in the early twentieth century, initially showing the prosperity of border commercial ports. However, the development of Dandong can be said to be always influenced by geopolitics, which makes the city always encounter various unexpected blows in the space and time of launching fists. Therefore, the development of the city is extremely bumpy. The development of a city needs the combination of external opportunities and internal development momentum. External opportunities may be hard to get, but the internal driving force, that is, the connotation of urban culture, should be the core of your urban spirit and the source of power for urban development. As an immigrant city, Dandong has a relatively shallow cultural background and a relatively broken cultural background because of the influence of the border closure in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. Although it is well documented that the history of Dandong can be traced back to the late Paleolithic period 18000 years ago, it cannot bring a complete historical context to Dandong. As a frontier region, the frequent ethnic wars in history, the Sino-Japanese War before and after the opening of the port, the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese occupation period and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea after liberation show that Dandong is a bumpy city. This is different from many prefecture-level cities similar in size to Dandong. The development of Dandong, after more than 20 years of reform and opening up, can be said to be a process of losing the traditional economic map, making Dandong gradually lose its core competitiveness from a relatively important light textile city and become an insignificant city. What is particularly sad is that this process of degradation has seriously dealt a blow to citizens' expectations of urban development. The citizens, who are the owners of the city, seldom feel the faith and anxiety about the development of the city, but are more disappointed and full of complaints. As a citizen of Dandong, it seems difficult to find the proud and boastful side of the city in terms of economic level, construction level, cultural level and other aspects. The sense of pride and honor gained by urban residents because of their city is, to some extent, the internal driving force of urban spirit. In a city where citizens are disappointed and lost, the composition of urban spirit can be imagined. For example, binjiang road or other public facilities were destroyed, and people who protected public facilities were beaten. There are deep-seated problems such as the moral composition of urban humanities and society and the moral anomie in the process of urban development. While condemning and criticizing this phenomenon, we can't simply talk about things. The development of Dandong, like many areas, is also striving for economic achievements and strengthening the city. It is also weak in sorting out urban history and culture and building urban culture. It is conceivable that when a city becomes an economic animal, its city will inevitably lack humanistic feelings. Our home is very beautifully tidied up. Why should we go to Binjiang Road and Yalu River Park? Because they are unique places for leisure and entertainment, and the people who destroy public facilities are also those who go there for leisure? On the other hand, the citizen class lacks understanding and confidence in the positioning and development of the city. This also leads to a weak sense of public morality and no sense of participation, so it lacks a sense of urgency, pride and honor. For example, Shanghainese, Beijingers and Hangzhouers all have a sense of pride in being proud of the city, subconsciously or in life. This kind of pride needs to be cultivated, which is based on their confidence in the future of the city and their recognition of urban culture. A prosperous city that can keep pace with the times must be a civilized, enterprising, inclusive and confident city spirit. In other words, subject to the "market principle and economic rationality" of the market economy, "economic benefit eventually becomes the only feasible standard for all social organizations in the city", which leads to "spiritual deficiency", and its damage to the traditional cultural character of the city is very terrible. The concepts of economism, pragmatism, disappointment and failure, and now profit will eventually become a stumbling block to the long-term goal of urban development and urban prosperity. Dandong is located on the border between China and North Korea, and border trade is an important economic growth point. However, there are many advantages in using the border, but the registered company is not to promote the development of border trade, but to engage in fraud. A city lacks cultural background. Without a clear orientation of urban spirit, citizens will lack humanistic spirit, cultural awareness and humanistic care. Therefore, the development of Dandong must improve the cultural taste of the city, establish the spirit of the city, and put forward the strategic thought of revitalizing the city with culture and strengthening the city with culture. Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are outmatched by terrestrial advantages, which in turn are outmatched by the harmony among people. The so-called human harmony means that all levels of social members are concerned about the development and orientation of the city, and the important basis of human harmony is the cultural inheritance and construction of the city. A group that lacks cultural construction, so it is difficult to bear the people-oriented and humanistic care needed for urban development; The ultimate loss must be the competitiveness of the city. As far as Dandong is concerned, it has a very clear development idea and a clear urban positioning and development goal, that is, to build a port city, a strong industrial city, a big business city, a big tourist city and a livable place. The above positioning and goals can be said to point out a direction for urban development, but to ensure the implementation of such a positioning and eventually build a prosperous and civilized modern city and make it a unique, harmonious and enterprising modern port city, an important guarantee is needed, that is, to revitalize the city with culture. Development goals, urban positioning, and the strategic basis for revitalizing the city with this culture. Dandong will surely present a brilliant tomorrow.
