Xining is a shrinking city. According to relevant data, Xining is the capital of Qinghai Province, the central city of regional modernization of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a famous multi-ethnic plateau city, and a densely populated urban area with a population of over 6,543.8+million. It has faced the phenomenon of population loss and experienced a structural economic crisis for more than two years. Therefore, we should carefully study and adjust the shrinking counties and cities, that is to say, some shrinking cities will merge with municipal districts in the future to slim down and keep fit.
