60 kilometers south of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, there is an ancient and civilized city, which is Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province. The city covers a total area of 742 square kilometers and governs 15 townships, offices, development zones, 407 administrative villages and 30 communities with a total population of 594,000. Zhuozhou is an excellent tourist city in China and a national model city with double support.

More than 250 years ago, when Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty made a southern tour through Zhuozhou, the capital city, he wrote the poem "The Japanese boundary is unparalleled, the first state in the world is full of difficulties". Today, Zhuozhou, with its unique geographical and resource advantages, is undertaking a rare development opportunity. Especially in 2005, Zhuozhou was identified as an expanding county (city) by the Hebei provincial government, and was given the same economic and social management authority as a city divided into districts, which gave a powerful wing to Zhuozhou's take-off.

Unique location adjacent to Beijing

Zhuozhou is close to Beijing, located in the tight layer of the Greater Beijing Economic Circle and in the center of the Beijing-Tianjin-Baoding Triangle. It has the advantages of high-energy resources gathering in Beijing and low-cost docking in Zhuozhou. The unique geographical advantages make China the "bridgehead" of South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the best commercial distribution center.

With the acceleration of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integration process and the formation of the cooperation mechanism of "Bohai Economic Zone", it has broken through the insurmountable institutional and ideological obstacles for a long time, making Zhuozhou truly melt into a big market full of vitality and great potential, and the low-cost advantages such as land and labor seem to be highlighted overnight. Zhuozhou is becoming a hot spot for Chinese and foreign businessmen to invest.

With the approach of 2008, the heat wave of Beijing Olympic economy is surging in Zhuozhou, and some people of insight regard Zhuozhou as a rare depression with investment cost in the hinterland of Beijing and Tianjin. Choosing Zhuozhou means choosing Beijing and Tianjin, and investing in Zhuozhou means sowing hope.

Unparalleled historical and cultural resources

Zhuozhou is rich in historical and cultural resources and is one of the counties (cities) with the deepest cultural background around Beijing and Hebei. In the long history of more than 2,300 years, a large number of historical celebrities have emerged, such as Qin Shihuang Liu Bei, Zhang Houfei, politicians of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Daoyuan, the father of China's geography, Shao Yong, the philosopher of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, etc., which makes this ancient city with the title of "Excellent Tourism City in China" more magnificent.

Zhuozhou is the birthplace of "Three Kingdoms Culture". The story of Liu Bei's "Three sworn relationships in Taoyuan" with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is widely circulated. "Three Kingdoms Culture" has an important influence in Zhuozhou. Today, the remains of the culture of the Three Kingdoms can be seen everywhere in the streets. Taoyuan Hotel, Taoyuan Street, Sanyi Primary School, Sanyi Palace and Zhangfei Temple all show Zhuozhou people's respect for their ancestors and loyalty.

Lu Ji, represented by Lu Zhi, a statesman of the Eastern Han Dynasty, met Zhuo Jun, and many celebrities came forth in large numbers. For thousands of years, "the combination of civil and military skills, poetry and propriety" has become another enduring family culture in Chinese mainland besides the Kong family.

Echoing the history and culture at a distance are these precious ancient city relics. Yongji Bridge, the first long stone arch bridge in China identified by experts; National key cultural relics-Twin Towers in Liao Dynasty; Ancient buildings with historical, cultural and artistic values will be fully excavated and restored in accordance with the overall plan of "Excavation, Protection and Utilization of Zhuozhou Historical and Cultural Resources".

An ancient city of Zhuozhou with concentrated historical and cultural resources and distinctive features will reappear in front of the world with a brand-new look and become a fine film of "humanistic Zhuozhou". Different from the "Imperial Capital Culture" in Beijing, Zhuozhou is seizing the opportunity of tourism and cultural industry development in Beijing suburbs with its unparalleled historical and cultural advantages.

If history and culture are the important connotation of urban cultural environment and cultural taste, and are the internal driving force for the sustainable development of regional economy, then the golf course with international standards in provincial tourist resorts and the largest film and television shooting base in the north have laid a good foundation for the promotion of Zhuozhou's modern cultural taste and become a unique tourist hotline in southern Beijing.

Carrying the advantages of urban infrastructure

Zhuozhou has good basic conditions. Great changes have taken place in the urban construction of Zhuozhou since the reform and opening up 20 years ago. The urban area has grown from 3 square kilometers before the reform and opening up to 24 square kilometers today, and the urban population accounts for 200 thousand of the city's nearly 600 thousand population. Urban infrastructure is becoming more and more perfect, and the carrier function is constantly enhanced.

Zhuozhou has been known as "the gateway to the south of Beijing" and "the thoroughfare of eighteen provinces" since ancient times. Today, the Beijing-Guangzhou Highway, Beijing-Guangzhou Railway and Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway pass through the city, closely linking the ancient city of Zhuozhou with the fast-paced development of modern society. The road network extending in all directions closely links the rural and urban areas of this city. Convenient and fast modern communication network enables farmers living in remote villages to enter the information society through various channels.

North China and Beijing power grids provide two-way power supply for Zhuozhou, and urban water supply projects, natural gas projects, sewage treatment projects and road network construction projects connected with Beijing and its surrounding areas have accumulated strong power, laying a solid foundation for Zhuozhou's development.

Open and honest humanistic environment

Zhuozhou has outstanding talent advantages and is one of the cities with high density of scientific and technological talents in China. There are more than 40 scientific research units and colleges directly under the central government, 2 postdoctoral workstations, academicians, outstanding contribution experts and other high-level innovative talents. Well-known enterprises at home and abroad, such as PetroChina Oriental Geophysical Exploration Company, Huabei Aluminum, Construction Bureau of Ministry of Railways and Fourth Bureau of Ministry of Water and Electricity, have provided a good platform for talents at home and abroad to start businesses. In recent years, high-tech industries such as pilot base of Beijing Iron and Steel Research Institute, Zhuozhou Agricultural Science and Technology Park of China Agricultural University, Ziguang Electronics Project, auto parts project of Delphi Company, and newly-opened automobile project have successively settled in Zhuozhou, further highlighting the advantages of talent gathering in various fields and technical cooperation between industries.

Zhuozhou regards optimizing the environment as the first competitive point of economic development, and it is the historical responsibility of Zhuozhou people to create an honest and trustworthy humanistic environment. "Pro-business, safe business" and "close to the people and love the people" education; Public service commitment of law enforcement and discipline departments; Social democratic evaluation and scoring of the services of functional departments; The municipal party Committee and municipal government severely cracked down on illegal acts that undermine the development environment. Persistently committed to the efficiency construction of organs, improved work efficiency and enhanced the affinity of "people-oriented". The consciousness of respecting enterprises, entrepreneurs and taxpayers has become a social consciousness in Zhuozhou.

Compulsory education and vocational education in Zhuozhou have maintained the national advanced level, and more than 4,000 skilled workers go to various positions in enterprises every year. Beijingers favor Zhuozhou's good environment and value cheap real estate. In 2004 alone, the purchase area in Zhuozhou exceeded 1 1,000 square meters.

Openness is no longer a slogan, but an important part of people's social life today. Zhuozhou people are also constantly strengthening the concept of honesty and innovation in the process of opening up.

While realizing the transformation of production mode, farmers are also changing their long-term lifestyle and way of thinking. The activity of building a civilized ecological village with "practical economic development measures, sound democratic measures, rich spirit and good environmental standards" has awakened farmers' dreams for many years, and they have built their own beautiful homes with their own hands. Investors also took a fancy to generate's innovative consciousness and enterprising spirit, and put the project in a civilized ecological village with beautiful environment.

A solid and reasonable industrial base

Zhuozhou has a good agricultural foundation. In recent years, Zhuozhou agriculture has broken through the traditional planting mode and moved towards high technology and industrialization. In the past, simple grain cultivation was replaced by market-oriented diversified management. Water-saving agriculture, foreign exchange earning agriculture, order agriculture, greenhouse agriculture and green agriculture have become the fashion. Beijing, a big market, provides a broad development space for Zhuozhou's agricultural development, especially agricultural industrialization.

The rapidly rising industrial park is a development platform carefully built by Zhuozhou. Zhuozhou Development Zone is a provincial-level development zone approved by Hebei provincial government, with a planned area of 12.28 square kilometers. This is a new industrial experimental zone and high-tech demonstration zone. In recent years, Zhuozhou Development Zone has paid equal attention to both soft and hard environment, expanded the carrying capacity and attractiveness of the project, and the factors of production have been continuously gathered in the park, initially forming leading industries such as new materials, biotechnology, machining and manufacturing, showing the scale competitiveness of industrial clusters and becoming the most dynamic growth point of regional economy.

Zhuozhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, which has a broad development space, has become an important window and platform for attracting and utilizing external funds, and is the supporting point for building a modern processing and manufacturing base in southern Beijing.

Well-known supermarkets and chain stores in Beijing have also rushed to the Zhuozhou market. The hardware construction and management level of health, culture, entertainment, catering and other service industries highlight local characteristics and strive to achieve docking with Beijing.

A promising land.

Facing the new wave of global economy, Zhuozhou has carefully planned a grand blueprint for leap-forward development with Scientific Outlook on Development.

In 2004, famous experts and scholars from Tongji University, Tsinghua University, China Academy of Social Sciences and Hebei Province gathered in Zhuozhou, conducted in-depth research and repeated argumentation on three topics of Zhuozhou's economic and social development strategy, overall urban development, historical and cultural resources mining, protection and utilization, and scientifically formulated forward-looking "three major plans", which were deliberated and approved by the Municipal People's Congress, forming the * * of the people of the city.

Let's open a beautiful picture of Zhuozhou's future.

The economic development goal of "three steps, tripling output" has been determined, and three strategies of "establishing the city through industry", "prospering the city" and "strengthening the city in Beijing" have been implemented. It is proposed to build Zhuozhou into a city with comprehensive strength, optimized industrial structure, advanced science and technology, harmonious social civilization, complete service system, reasonable urban layout and perfect infrastructure in about 15 years. After 15 years' efforts, Zhuozhou will be built into a riverside garden-style ecological satellite city in the suburbs of Beijing with the framework of "one city and five districts", the theme of "celebrity culture", the brand of "national historical and cultural city" and the civilized and ecological "livable place" as the symbol.

If today's Zhuozhou is a hot land full of vitality, then in the near future, Zhuozhou will be a pearl shining with the glory of the times.

People often describe the beauty of a place as "extremes meet, outstanding people stand out". Today, Zhuozhou has built a new environment and advantages with its unique geographical advantages, splendid history and culture, solid industrial foundation, scientific and harmonious development concept, honesty and trustworthiness, and first-class humanistic spirit.

We come from history. Today, we create the future.
