The economies of the two cities are mainly concentrated in municipal districts, and the economic contribution of suburban counties is relatively small. However, it must be said that Xi 'an's industrial structure is more reasonable and the situation is excellent, and the economic difficulties brought about by Taiyuan's transformation and development in the past two years will continue for some time.
As far as its influence is concerned, Xi 'an, the "four ancient capitals of the world", is far greater than Taiyuan, the land of Longxing. Xi 'an is an important stop for world dignitaries to visit China, and its historical position has created Xi 'an's influence. In the strategic position of the country, Xi 'an, as a sub-provincial city, has advantages in transportation and education due to its excellent policies.
In short, the biggest source of the gap is the country's positioning of the city. Xi' an is the first city in the northwest and an important hub connecting the northwest; Taiyuan, located in North China, is the most marginal member in the rise of Central China, and does not have many geographical and geographical advantages. Orientation determines policy, and policy determines today's gap.
As a native of Xi, I objectively think that the development of Xi is better than that of Taiyuan, but compared with so many supporting conditions, Xi has not given full play to the role of these national resources. If any southern city had such a good resource and policy advantage as Xi 'an, it is estimated that it would have taken off long ago. Xi people don't need to show their superiority in front of Taiwan compatriots. What is there to show off? Are your strengths unclear? How dare you show off? Watching a topic become a place where many Xi people show their superiority, as an Xi person, I feel sick. Xi should be on an equal footing with Chengdu, which is our goal.
