A small northeastern fifth-tier city: perhaps the current state of the population of northeast China today

The seventh nationwide population survey data has been released, compared with ten years ago, there are some provinces with a significant increase in population, such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other provinces and regions with more developed economic development, while a large number of provinces and regions are discharged, especially in the northeast of the three provinces of “Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning”, a total of 1101 tens of thousands of people lower, as if we imagined It seems to be more serious than we think. Along with the exodus of young people, economic development is slowly losing its vitality.

In fact, except for Shenyang, Dalian, Harbin and Changchun, which are the four cities that have a certain allure to the population in the region, most other cities in Northeast China have a certain level of population exodus and economic downturn, with Yichun in Heilongjiang Province being the more typical.

Yichun is located in the northeastern part of Heilongjiang Province, bordering Russia, with a border river 246 kilometers long. Yichun jurisdiction of 4 districts and 5 counties, hosting a prefecture-level city, with a total area of 32,800.29 square kilometers, accounting for about seven percent of the area of Heilongjiang province, and even around the country are classified as a large jurisdictional area of the total area of the city.

Yichun is a five-line city, with a total population of 122.436 tens of thousands of people (2019), the urban area is located on both sides of the Ichun River strait, looking at the mountains on all sides, in the form of items slender, probably the eastern end of the Ichun River convergence to the Tangwang River, west to the Xishan water conservancy hub, about 22 kilometers long, it seems that the architecture is very large, but narrow in the north and south, the average value of 2 kilometers wide up and down. The central city of Ichun is Ime District, Ucui District and Friendship District are more than 10 km away from the city, which is counted as a distant suburb, and Jinlin District is more than 50 km away from the city, which is a distant suburb.

The basic bus lines in first-tier and second-tier cities generally operate until 22:00 and 23:00, and even have evening buses, while information about the data indicates that the more developed the economic development of the city, the more bus lines and longer operating hours they generally have. The vast majority of bus lines in Yichun operating hours of 6:00 to 18:00, except for some routes, after 18:00, Yichun city basically no bus operation.

Buses can reflect the charm of a city, and its operating hours and the weather, season, economic development, traffic travel requirements and other elements related to the latter two for most cities, the higher the hazard.

Because of the decline in the general economic environment in the northeast, Yichun is also experiencing difficulties in attracting investment work, and the dilemma of population exodus. Walking in the streets of Yichun, you can find a lot of stores for unused situations, including restaurants, hotels, hotels and restaurants, stores, etc., written “lease” or “for sale”, and even many “this room is for sale ” banners.

Unlike other cities where the real estate industry is on fire, Yichun has very few new commercial and residential buildings, and the engineering buildings here are also very characteristic, basically dominated by 5 to 6 floors, and rarely have more than 10 floors of engineering buildings, and the overall top has a strong simple European style.

Although the development of urbanization in Yichun has been “unpleasant”, it has either suffered from the favor of nature, or at least has rich and colorful natural resources and excellent ecological protection. Yichun is a well-known forestry and fruit industry city, is China’s key wood production and manufacturing industry base, with a total area of more than 3 million hectares of forest land, forest cover up to 82.2%, the total growth of live wood about 220 million cubic meters, I heard that is the largest city in China’s forest cover up to. Here because of the production of valuable species of red pine, known as the “red pine home”, “Chinese national forest capital”.

Yichun has the largest and most detailed original red pine forest in Asia, and the species of mountain forests are mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests with red pine as the key, and the green plants growing in large quantities are red pine, yew, red-barked spruce, Xing’an larch and camphor pine. Yichun is also rich in animal and plant resources. In the mountains and forests of the Xiaoxingan Mountains, there are more than 60 kinds of diverse and valuable wild animals and plants inhabiting the Northeast tiger, horse deer, brown bear, lynx, etc. There are more than 260 kinds of flying birds.

Because of the high level, the winter in Yichun is very cold, with the temperature often below zero, at least minus 20 to 30 degrees. In contrast, the summer is very pleasant in Yichun, with temperatures basically below 30 degrees, making it a great choice for a summer vacation. Therefore, summer is the best season for vacation travel to Yichun.
