How can Yixing's economy be so much worse than other neighboring places in southern Jiangsu?

Yixing is surrounded by Wujin, Jintan, Liyang, Anhui Guangde, Zhejiang Changxing and Taihu Lake. The strong counties in southern Jiangsu in everyone's mind have nothing to do with Yixing. South Jiangsu is divided into southwest and southeast, and Yixing is located in the south of Jiangsu and Anhui, on the west bank of Taihu Lake. In addition to the floods in Taihu Lake, there are also mountains in the Ili Mountains. This is not the plain in the southeast of Jiangsu, and there is no Yangtze River port.

You will find that there is no place in the southeast of Jiangsu where the economy is underdeveloped, but in the south of Jiangsu and Anhui, Yixing is already quite top-notch. If the comparison objects are adjusted and compared in the same region, and the strongest county in the country is located in the southeast of Jiangsu, will it be insufficient to compare with Shanghai, Wuxian (Suzhou) and Wuxi counties in the northeast of Taihu Lake? )

Yixing is an endogenous economy. Purple sand, cable and environmental protection are all local private enterprises, and rich water does not flow out. Because it is across Taihu Lake and not on the Shanghai-Nanjing line, Shanghai cannot radiate, and foreign factories rarely enter Yixing. If you have to compare, you can compare on the Ning Hang line.

In other words, Yixing has squeezed into the top ten of the county economy by itself, which is different from those southeast counties with superior geographical position. Kunshan and Taicang have no foreign capital, and Jiangyin and Zhangjiagang have no ports.

Yixing's famous purple sand industry is difficult to measure by GDP (refer to Jingdezhen's economy), but its people are rich. Moreover, Yixing's history and culture are no worse than any county-level city. There are only three national historical and cultural cities in Jiangsu, namely Changshu, Yixing and Gaoyou. The number of academicians of Yixing Academy of Sciences ranks first in county-level cities in China, and Changshu ranks second and third in Cixi, Zhejiang, with the number only half that of Yixing. There is also a saying in colleges and universities called "Nothing can't be done". Yixing won the first place in the top ten counties of China cultural competitiveness on 20 17 and 20 18 for two consecutive years.

Although limited by the region, it is precisely because of this that Yixing has achieved the lakes and mountains, and "the mountains and rivers are the first in the south of the Yangtze River". Yixing's urban construction and scenery are first-class among county-level cities. Welcome everyone to visit Yixing.
