As can be seen from the above information, Meizhou's industrial development lags far behind the Pearl River Delta region. The per capita net income of residents is still lower than the provincial average. The economic development of Meizhou is mainly restricted by the following factors: first, poor infrastructure, especially the lack of extremely important conditions-convenient traffic environment; Second, the lack of industrial agglomeration effect. Meizhou, whether it is the internal structure of agriculture or the industrial structure of the whole national economy, has obvious gaps with the Pearl River Delta and the whole province. In 2002, the structure of the tertiary industry in Meizhou was 29. 1∶36.2∶34.7, and the primary industry almost accounted for 1/3, while the average level of the whole province was 8.8%. As far as the internal structure of agriculture in Meizhou is concerned, planting, especially grain crops, is dominant, while cash crops and marketable and efficient crops account for a small proportion; Third, Meizhou lacks the "urban atmosphere" needed by business. "Urban atmosphere" includes: legal order, humanistic conditions, administrative efficiency and division of labor and cooperation system. Despite the difficulties in economic development in Meizhou, in recent years, under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Meizhou City has seized new opportunities and planned new development, and has also made certain achievements. Economic development has shown a good momentum. Last year, Meizhou's GDP achieved double-digit growth for the first time since 1995, and this year's economic development achieved a "good start". Investment promotion has achieved results, and industrial development has made breakthrough progress. It can be seen that Meizhou has great development potential.
Geographically, Meizhou is the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces, and Meizhou is located in the junction of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces in the eastern part of the Pan-Pearl River Delta. On the map, open coastal cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou and Xiamen are at the bottom, while inland areas such as Jiangxi are behind. It can be said that in the eastern part of the Pan-Pearl River Delta economic circle, Meizhou is in the hub position connecting the coastal inland and undertaking things, and it is a good place to develop supporting industries. If you invest in the auto parts industry in Meizhou, you can not only provide supporting facilities for the auto industry in Guangzhou, but also provide supporting facilities for the auto manufacturers in southeast Fujian. In terms of transportation, Meizhou, which has been lagging behind in the past, came from behind. The railway mileage of the city has reached 37 1 km, and the Guangmeishan Railway and Meikan Railway have all been put into operation. At present, the highway density in Meizhou ranks first among the mountainous cities in the province. Meizhou-Longyan Expressway is about to start, and Meizhou-Ganzhou Expressway in Jiangxi and Zhangzhou Expressway in Fujian are also under planning. After the completion of these four expressways, Meizhou will become the transportation hub from the border area of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi to the central city of the Pearl River Delta. Secondly, it is the industrial gradient transfer. The manufacturing industry in coastal areas is upgrading, and Meizhou is located in the transitional zone between coastal and inland areas, with low production cost, abundant resources and close to the market, which is very attractive to the transfer of coastal industries. In terms of natural resources, there are abundant underground resources, various mineral deposits and broad development prospects. There are 48 kinds of coal, iron, copper, manganese, lead, zinc, silver, antimony, rare earth, limestone, granite and marble, and there are more than 530 mineral deposits. Among them, coal reserves are 270 million tons, accounting for the second place in the province; Manganese and iron reserves account for 20% and 30% of the province respectively. Copper in Meixian, limestone in Jiaoling, porcelain clay in Tai Po, coal in Xingning and iron in the plain are famous for their rich reserves and high grade. Rich in water resources, the national average annual rainfall is 25.03 billion cubic meters, the annual average runoff is 65.438+0.287 billion cubic meters, the water production is 25.97 billion cubic meters, the theoretical power generation of hydraulic resources is 775,000 kilowatts, there are many underground hot springs, the water temperature is high, the water quantity is large, and mineral water resources are abundant. As well as rich tourism resources, there are more places of interest and cultural landscapes. Lingguang Temple built in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zhifeng in Yin Na, Yuan Kui Tower in Songkou, Pankeng Waterfall, Yitian in Jiaoling, Heshui Reservoir in Xingning, Shenguang Mountain, Fengxi Nature Reserve in Tai Po, Nantaishan in the plain, Wuzhishi, Tang Yi Reservoir in Wuhua and Fengshun Hot Springs all attract many tourists with their majestic, strange, quiet and beautiful features. In addition, Meizhou is a famous cultural city with a long history, and is known as "hometown of culture", "hometown of overseas Chinese" and "hometown of football". In recent years, with the continuous development of various industries in Meizhou, especially the breakthrough in the development of agriculture, Meizhou is known as "the hometown of tea in Dan Cong", "the hometown of folk songs" and "the hometown of golden pomelo", and is also known as "the new three townships". With the docking of transportation infrastructure, the logistics in the region will increase, which will bring opportunities for Meizhou to develop the commercial logistics industry. Generally speaking, location, resources, culture, hometown of overseas Chinese and ecology all have advantages. So we say that Meizhou mountain area has great potential, Meizhou development is full of hope, and investment in Meizhou is full of business opportunities!
As the saying goes, "no pains, no gains", industry is a fast horse that drives economic development. At present, the economy of the Pearl River Delta and other regions has developed to a certain extent, and the scale of industrial development has been expanding. With the promotion and strengthening of the "Pan-Pearl River Delta" regional cooperation, Meizhou's economic development space will be further broadened, and its advantages of backwardness will be further revealed, and Meizhou will become a new round of hot spot for foreign investment in Guangdong. Meizhou takes this opportunity to accelerate the process of industrial development by taking advantage of various advantages, seize the opportunity of the opening of provincial and municipal highways and Guangzhou's counterpart assistance to Meizhou, vigorously attract investment, introduce foreign capital into the Pearl River Delta region, take the initiative to undertake industrial transfer, develop supporting products, and promote the development of related industries. We can also make full use of the advantages of the hometown of overseas Chinese, introduce various preferential policies, attract foreign investment, accelerate the development of the secondary industry, and catch the "last bus" of industrial development. In addition, the use of cheap labor, combined with local resources, the development of agricultural and sideline industries and various manual processing industries, the resource advantages into commodity advantages. This kind of industry has low development cost, local materials, flexible market, low risk and fast income. It can not only provide broad employment opportunities for local people, but also activate the market and prosper the economy. At present, there are many local brands in Meizhou, such as Jinyou in Meixian, Wuye Shenyan, tea farm in Yannanfei, Changle shochu in Wuhua and ceramics in Tai Po. On this basis, we should pay attention to the introduction of high technology, improve the added value of products, survive by quality, develop by efficiency, and strive to build a brand, so as to make Meizhou an intermediary market connecting the national commodity exchanges.
From Deng Xiaoping's slogan of "building socialism with China characteristics", we can see the significance of developing characteristic economy. An economy with no characteristics and advantages in regional economic development is an economy without competitiveness and development potential. With the development of the national economy and the improvement of the living standards of urban and rural people, people are gradually pursuing a higher quality of life, and tourism is booming, which will become a rapid growth point of economic development. Meizhou can make use of its own advantages, rely on the beautiful scenery in mountainous areas and refer to the tourism development experience of Jiangnan water towns to develop eco-tourism, green tourism and rural tourism, and develop a set of tourism service industry with Meizhou Hakka characteristics! Qi Fei of Tourism and Agriculture by Yan Nanfei is a typical example. For tourism, relying on the development of agriculture, forestry, water conservancy and urban construction can reduce investment, shorten the construction period and introduce more new products with their own characteristics.
Taking Xingning as an example, the Dutianhe River in Xingning is located in the northwest of Luofu Town, xingning city, 68km away from Xingcheng and 13km away from Luofu Town, which is the clear and green source of Dongjiang River. Due to the construction of Fengshuba Reservoir, the Watanabe River is like a "high gorge flowing out of Pinghu". It is about 30 kilometers long and 2 kilometers at its widest point. It connects Xunwu County, Jiangxi Province in the north and Fengshuba Reservoir in the south, which is the water transmission line from Longchuan to Xingning. Watanabe District, with blue sky and auspicious clouds, lakes and mountains, is very charming. In spring and autumn, there are romantic springs and waterfalls everywhere, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. In autumn and winter, the layered forests are all dyed ... this is a region with great development value. The government can take the form of investment and non-governmental cooperation, bring nearby villages into the tourist area, invest a lot of money, do a good job in infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity, communications, and combine Hakka customs, rural life and natural beauty to create an English Country Garden!
With the development of the global village, the multi-cultures of many countries in the world constantly collide and blend with each other, and are moving towards the trend of great harmony. China is an ancient oriental country with a long history, with 56 nationalities and thousands of customs. In this case, it is really necessary to maintain its own independent national style. However, with the progress of the times, cultural customs handed down from generation to generation in many places are gradually submerged in the trend of reform and opening up. Meizhou is a place where Hakka people live together, and it also preserves many unique cultures, such as the world-famous Hakka Dragon House, Hakka wedding customs, Hakka folk songs, and Hakka snacks, such as salted chicken, stuffed tofu, smashed brown, Tian Aiban, harp flowers, pearl red, chicken fried wine and so on. Therefore, in order to develop characteristic tourism in Xingning, we can rebuild the Dragon Circle in the tourist area, integrate ancient characteristics with modern elements with a developmental vision, build castles on the mountains, let tourists enjoy unique hotel services and show the wisdom of Meizhou people. In order to adapt to different levels of consumers, villagers can transform their houses into "family hotels" for the majority of tourists to stay in, which will not only allow tourists to enjoy convenient and affordable services, but also experience the profound human feelings of Meizhou people. Every holiday, or make an appointment with four or five confidants, or bring your family across the Tianhe River, you can accompany your master to farm in the fields during the day, collect in the fruit forest, and herd cattle and sheep on the hillside; Go boating and fishing on the river at sunset and sing a song; Sit around in the evening, eat some authentic farm food, taste some wine, enjoy beautiful folk songs, stay away from the hubbub and have fun together. This has created an idyllic "Xanadu", allowing tourists to enjoy a real return to nature and a simple pastoral life! The local government can also make unified planning and layout of farmland, fruit trees, fisheries and bamboo forests in the village, attract foreign investment, build processing plants nearby, introduce advanced technology, make all kinds of healthy foods, create green brands, create another "flying sky" and embark on an economic avenue integrating industry, agriculture, tourism and ecology! Develop a unique tourism industry.
Many counties and towns in Meizhou are rich in tourism resources, but there are inevitable differences in location conditions, natural resources and economic development in different regions. To accelerate the overall economic development of Meizhou, we must implement the regional unbalanced development strategy and speed up the development and construction of key areas. Therefore, this form of tourism can be promoted in Meixian, Fengshun, Xingning, Tai Po and other places first. Then we will use the integral to promote the economic development of Meizhou! Build Meizhou into a holiday and sightseeing destination integrating industry, tourism, leisure and entertainment! Let Meizhou go out of Guangdong and face the whole country!
