Original title: Top Ten Most Potential Cities in China

I. Shanghai

The night view of Shanghai is very futuristic.

How to evaluate Shanghai? It is "China Magic Capital" and "Oriental Paris"; It is the smallest bourgeois luxury city in China, and it is also a city with the highest-end industries in the world. It is the nostalgic capital of "the hometown of many people" in Wang Anyi's memory, and also the future city of "exporting prosperity to Hong Kong" in Zhang Ailing's mouth. It represents the highest level of urban development in China, and defines and means the future and upper limit of urban development in China.

The history of Shanghai is a history of Jiangnan commercial civilization. In the era of mobile internet, every step of Shanghai has stepped on the node of the times. Someone once described Shanghai with the poem "A fine horse flying on the flat ground". Flying on the ground may be an appropriate evaluation of Shanghai. Its blood is full of traditional "land" genes, but its bones are full of admiration and yearning for the future and the sky.

Ma Yun once said: "If there is to be a city that can represent the height of reform, innovation and development, I think only Shanghai." In the cooperation with Ali New Retail, Shanghai is also the most densely distributed city. According to official data, up to now, Shanghai has more than 10000 "Tmall Smart Stores", which is called "Ali's new retail first city".

Second, Beijing?

There is no doubt that Beijing is the most atmospheric city in China. This also makes it one of the most promising cities in China.

Beijing is a city that can make you "hi" instantly, and it is also a city that is willing to accept "dreamers". Beijing is the kind of city that can make you feel close to nature, which is also a strong evidence that countless "drifting north" has become a distinctive feature of our time. The writer Chen Guanzhong once said, "Beijing is comfortable. I think Beijing is comparable to Shanghai, continuing to guard the torch of cutting-edge culture and attracting generations of young people at the bottom to wait for the light. "

The Imperial Capital planted a pot of tea, ranging from weather to politics to various social topics. What are comfortable Beijingers saying now?

According to the relevant surveys of Alipay and Baidu Search, Beijing has the highest cashless rate among the four cities of "Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen" and has the highest discussion on Ali's new retail. Drinking big tea, chatting about the sky, talking about "Ali's new retail" and talking about mobile payment seem to have become the daily life of Kanmen in Beijing.

Third, Shenzhen.

Shenzhen is the "innovation capital" of China.

At any time, Shenzhen is one of the most promising cities in China. Why?

As a beneficiary of reform and opening up, Shenzhen is also an explorer of high-tech cities in the new era. It will always accept and embrace emerging industries, never exclude outsiders, and always rush to the position of "China Economic Center" and "Global Financial Center" with unexpected speed and passion. It is always surging and always young, which means that it will never be absent from the list of "the most potential cities".

Forty years of reform and opening up, Shenzhen is the "innovation capital" of China; Today, Shenzhen has become a "follow-up city" for Ali's new retail. In the commercial transformation of Ali's new retail, Shenzhen not only looks forward to the rapid development of new businesses and new manufacturing industries around the world, but also boldly practices Ali's new retail, leading Hong Kong and Macao to open the direction of retail transformation and becoming a powerful role that cannot be ignored in Ali's new retail market. On the road of following new things, Shenzhen has never fallen behind, and it has always been at the forefront of the times.

Fourth, Guangzhou?

Guangzhou is the middle point connecting the past and the present.

From all aspects, the saying of "North to Guangzhou and Shenzhen" must now give way to "North to Guangzhou and Shenzhen". Although Guangzhou, an established business capital, lacks stamina for development, it is still a force to be reckoned with in China: it is the most inclusive city in China, the most popular immigrant city, the city that can awaken your taste buds at midnight, and the city that can be best summed up by the words "vibrant and lively".

Yi Zhongtian once said that Guangzhou is an intermediary point connecting the past (land outside China) and the present (special economic zone). In the past, it was a Millennium commercial port, an economic highland, a pioneering land centered on culture and commerce, and a big market full of dreams of making money. Now, it is a bridge to inherit the traditional trade model, and it is also a bridgehead to open the new Internet economy and Ali's new retail. In the history of urban changes in China, Guangzhou is an unavoidable name; In every ranking related to China cities, Guangzhou has never been absent, and it is impossible to be absent. Its existence has marked a footnote for China's urban development, which is closely related to the past and the future, and also provided a reference model for China when thinking about tomorrow.

5. Hangzhou

Hangzhou, a well-deserved "first city without cash".

Whoever wins talent will win the future. Hangzhou is now in the limelight on this big ship that attracts talents.

According to the data analysis of a recruitment website, from the fourth quarter of 20 16 to the first quarter of 20 18, Hangzhou ranked first among the national 15 key cities.

If the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has transformed Hangzhou from a small coastal town into an economic metropolis where rivers and seas meet and between Shandong and Zhejiang, then mobile payment and Ali's new retail will make Hangzhou glow with another spring. According to 20 18 China "new retail city" development report, the score of Hangzhou Ali's new retail index is almost the same as that of Beijing, and the government support ranks first.

Alipay data shows that in Hangzhou, more than 95% of supermarkets and convenience stores can use Alipay to pay, and more than 98% of taxis support mobile payment. If Shanghai is Ali's first new retail city, then Hangzhou is a well-deserved "cashless first city".

Sixth, Wuhan

Wu Hanyou has the strength to compete with first-tier cities.

Wuhan people call their city "Great Wuhan", and when they talk about these three words, they often bring a target prefix of paving the floor, which is collectively called "Reviving Great Wuhan".

If you want to ask why, Wuhan people will tell you that Beijing is the imperial capital, Shanghai is the magic capital, and this city is called "the lost capital". Economically, Wuhan once kept pace with Shanghai, "Sailing ten miles in accordance with the city, and all the lights stayed up all night", "Driving on the Golden Gate, catching up with Shanghai"; Politically, Wuhan was once second only to Beiping, and Sun Yat-sen imagined it as "Chicago in the East". Wuhan, with its infinite scenery, has only become one of the fifteen sub-provincial cities in China, and Wuhan people will not be content. The phrase "Reviving Great Wuhan" contains the confidence and ambition of this city.

Wuhan has been one of the important engines of China's economic development for a long time, and Jones Lang LaSalle, a world-renowned consulting firm, listed Wuhan as a leading city among the "driving cities" in China. In the past ten years, Wuhan's GDP has grown as high as 945.026 billion yuan, with a growth rate of 238.64%, ranking first among the capital cities of six central provinces in the past ten years. Wuhan is ruthless, and Wuhan people are even more ruthless. In the national city Ali new retail index competition, Wuhan consumer participation index ranked second, with the strength to compete with first-tier cities.

Seven, Chengdu

Taikooli in Chengdu.

The "Millennium Commercial Capital" is not called for nothing. Chengdu is famous for its delicious food, beautiful women and beautiful scenery, and its commercial concentration and future plasticity are in a leading position in the western region. Chengdu is friendly, and the whole world loves the giant panda in Chengdu. Austrian President Alexander van der Belen led the largest delegation in Austrian history to come here to talk about cooperation with panda dolls-"Nice to meet you, Chengdu."

Chengdu makes people happy because it is comfortable. Ye Tan, a financial writer, said that Chengdu people are willing to spend money on eating, drinking and having fun, and the tertiary industry has a high standard. These are the embodiment of a city's quality of life, so the real estate market in Chengdu will always be "warm". Chengdu people who can play will also make money from playing. A large number of new formats are flooding into Ali's new retail business market. With the help of new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, they deeply integrate online services and offline experiences with modern logistics. The development momentum of Chengdu should not be underestimated.

8. Chongqing

Chongqing's urban competitiveness is all-round.

If the film is DreamWorks, then Chongqing is the place where DreamWorks is also DreamWorks. When the movie was only in 4D, Chongqing was already called 8D. "8D City of Fantasy Music" is a nickname given to Chongqing by fashion youth in the short video era. Chongqing is built on the mountain, with subway, urban rail and houses scattered at random. In addition, the Yangtze River and Jialing River echo each other. This inland mountain city, like Chongqing hot pot, is extremely spicy and rarely addictive. Chongqing, which netizens love, is not only the night view of Hongyadong, the river-crossing cableway and Liziba on Line 2, but also the lightness and vitality that first-tier cities do not have and the fashion and vitality that ordinary non-first-tier cities do not have.

Chongqing's competitiveness is all-round, and its economic growth rate has long been in the forefront of the country. In 20 17, it stood out strongly in the global ranking of urban competitiveness, second only to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Beijing and Guangzhou, and far ahead of other cities in China. Chongqing's strength in economy, society, environment and culture can be seen. Joining hands with Internet giants, Chongqing is still building a "smart city in China", and its commercial resources and environment are constantly optimized, which provides an excellent soil for the rapid growth and breakthrough of Ali's new retail.

9.Xi an?

The ancient Xi 'an is creating the "Xi 'an speed" of new retail.

It is best to be a benchmark. In the 1980s, Gai Lou was very fast, and one floor was built every three days. "Shenzhen speed" has become synonymous with reform, opening up and economic prosperity. In 20 18, the fresh employees of Box Horse completed the whole process from online application to settling in Xi 'an within 13 hours, and "Xi 'an speed" became synonymous with the rapid development of Ali's new retail.

A city that is sensitive to Ali's new retail model and has super executive power has no reason not to make people curious about its vitality. Zhang said, president of Shaanxi Urban Economic and Cultural Research Association, that the urban spirit of An is "openness, tolerance and catching up". Openness and tolerance are somewhat abstract, and catching up is obvious. Xi City and Xi people are in a strong position to embrace the "Belt and Road", the national central city, the "national name" reform pilot zone, the national free trade zone, and the "trusteeship" of Xi 'an Xixian New District.

10. Fuzhou?

There are two places in the country with the richest money, one is Chaoshan, the hometown of Li Ka-shing, and the other is Fujian, the hometown of Guo Henian. Guo Henian's ancestral home is Fuzhou, Fujian. As the capital of Fujian, Fuzhou has advantages politically, but it has long faced challenges from Xiamen and Quanzhou economically. However, Fujian people who have always believed in "dare to fight and win" are never afraid of challenges. For Fuzhou, catching up with the previous bus is not important, but catching up with the next bus is the key. Fuzhou, which has been at ease for many years, is seizing the opportunity of the "Belt and Road" era and advancing at full speed.

The future of Fuzhou lies not only in "reappearing brilliance", but also in advancing with the trend. Among many cities with the vision of "new retail capital", Fuzhou has obvious advantages and obvious progress. Fuzhou is the first city to write "Ali's New Retail Capital" into the local "Government Work Report", and it is also the venue of the 20 18 "New Era Retail Innovation Summit Forum". According to the forum information, local government departments will cooperate with Alibaba Group and Yonghui Group in depth, starting with mobile payment, smart logistics, big data and rural e-commerce, and * * * will jointly promote Ali's retail innovation in Fuzhou.
