Do you know anything about Yinchuan, Ningxia?

Among the many provinces in China, the provincial capital city is generally the most developed. It has a high reputation and is at the forefront of the economic ranking of the entire province. If we talk about the most domineering provincial capitals in China, many people may first think of Chengdu and Wuhan, etc., because they are very powerful and have a large presence in the country. This is mainly because many provinces are giving priority to the development of provincial capitals, thus slowing down the development of provincial capitals. It slowly drives the development of other cities, eventually leading to a situation where one city dominates.

But the most domineering provincial capitals in China are not Chengdu and Wuhan. Instead, they have always been very low-key. It is Yinchuan. Maybe many people are unfamiliar with it. It is the provincial capital of Ningxia. It has never had a high sense of presence in the country and is in a state of obscurity. In addition, Ningxia's development itself is not very good. Economic development is restricted due to various reasons. If you understand Yinchuan, looking at different data, there are still certain advantages.

In 2019, the total GDP of the entire province of Ningxia was 370.518 billion yuan. What is unexpected is that Yinchuan’s economic total reached 189.6 billion yuan, accounting for half of the province’s total economic volume, ranking at the top The first position. In addition, the total population of Ningxia is 6.9466 million, of which the population of Yinchuan reaches 2.2931 million, indicating that the population is one-third of the province. Maybe Yinchuan is not an outstanding city in the country, but in Ningxia it is still quite strong.

Yinchuan has always been an important passage on the ancient Silk Road, and it is also the window for the country's westward development. There are many mountains and plains in its territory, resulting in an incomplete transportation network. However, its tourism resources are very good. It not only has rich cultural landscapes, but also beautiful natural scenery. You can have a closer contact with nature and increase your own knowledge.

What do you think about China's most "dominant" provincial capital, which accounts for half of the province's total GDP, not Chengdu and Wuhan?
