We all know that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", so Guilin, as the capital of Guangxi Province, has such good scenery and culture. Moreover, in modern society, there are many tourists in Guilin every year, and the overall GDP far exceeds that of other cities in Guangxi. Therefore, Guilin should be the capital of Guangxi.
1, consider the strategic position when moving the capital.
1950 is the second year after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). The central authorities must have considered the layout of Guangxi, which borders Vietnam and other countries. Guilin is located in the northwest, but it doesn't take into account the whole of Guangxi province.
The location of Nanning on the map is clear at a glance, that is, it is close to the south of Guangxi, and its geographical location is probably in the south-central part of Guangxi. In this way, the whole province can take care of the overall situation.
Nanning is also a developed city.
Several cities in Guangxi have developed rapidly, such as Nanning, Guilin and Liuzhou. According to the overall development at that time, Liuzhou also had great advantages. After all, Liuzhou is located in the middle of Guangxi, and now its industrial development is ahead of other cities. Liuzhou has a stronger economic foundation for building a new provincial capital.
However, the layout of the central government is not just a city's economy. All things considered, Nanning is the best location. Although the economy is not as good as Liuzhou's, it is close to Vietnam (the Vietnam War was known at that time), and its economic foundation is more solid, which can be developed for a long time.
The gap between Guilin and Nanning has widened.
Now, the gap between the two is obvious, and their development paths are different.
Guilin is now focusing on tourism and vigorously developing sustainable eco-tourism, and Nanning has not let those who choose it down. In recent years, it has developed very well, and the influence of infrastructure, public facilities and provincial capitals has gradually become a veritable provincial capital of Guangxi!
