Of course, Chenzhou is located at the midpoint between Changsha and Guangzhou, more than 300 kilometers away. Looking at the Beijing-Guangzhou Economic Corridor, there is a megacity more than 300 kilometers north of Changsha. 300 kilometers is the "spent force" of radiation in megacities. Where the sun doesn't shine, it needs to shine. Chenzhou is such a place that can shine! If you can't see the unique location advantage of Chenzhou, it is the misfortune of Chenzhou!

"According to the law of urban development and the theory of urban breaking point (the boundary point of attraction between two cities), there will be a large-scale city every 200-300 kilometers." Ge Hongyuan, secretary of Chenzhou Municipal Party Committee, quoted the research principles of economists in the concentrated interview of Emancipating the Mind in Hunan. "A regional central city will definitely rise within 300 kilometers, and Chenzhou is more than 300 kilometers away from the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration and the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration." This location advantage, together with the upcoming "six verticals" (Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway plus Double Line, Yueru Expressway and 107 National Road) and "two verticals" (Xiamen-Chengdu Expressway and Chenzi-Jia Gui Expressway) are of great significance for Chenzhou to connect with the Pearl River Delta and actively undertake the transfer of coastal industries. Ge Hongyuan said: "According to Secretary Chun Xian's speech, Chenzhou will focus on industrial transfer and strive to make Chenzhou a regional central city in southern Hunan where Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan meet with the Pearl River Delta and a new economic growth pole in Hunan."

Chenzhou is located at the midpoint between Changsha and Guangzhou, and it is most likely to develop into a regional central city, because the country must consider this positioning from the aspects of industrial layout, transportation network layout and economic advantage gradient layout, otherwise there will be blind spots. Recently, the state has successively listed Chenzhou in the first batch of "National Industrial Transfer Key Undertaking Bases" (9 in China) and put the only national export processing zone in Hunan at this stage in Chenzhou, which shows the importance of Chenzhou's location. This is determined by the position of Chenzhou on the map of * * * and China and on the Beijing-Guangzhou Economic Corridor, and it is independent of people's will! We have positioned Chenzhou as a "regional central city between Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces", which is not a balloon blowing or a satellite launching, but a theoretical basis. Chenzhou has unique geographical advantages and rich resource advantages. The city has great potential for future development. If we can't make good use of these advantages to make Chenzhou bigger and stronger, we are sorry for our ancestors and our descendants.

Chenzhou has a glorious history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chen was the land of Chu, and it has been more than 2,200 years since Qin established Chen County. Judging from the historical fact that Xiang Yu moved to Chen, Chenzhou at that time was an important city (city) in China! Chenzhou is located in the main road of Chu-Yue traffic. In the past, "merchants were like clouds, and there were tens of thousands of mules and horses", which was an important commodity distribution center and commercial center around. In today's competitive era, all aspects of economy, society and urban construction should seize the opportunity, keep pace with the times, forge ahead and accelerate development. If a region is not driven by a strong central city, no matter how good the economy is, it is difficult for all undertakings to improve greatly. Building Chenzhou into an inter-provincial regional central city of Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi conforms to the trend of the times and is also the historical responsibility of Chenzhou.

The advantages and potential of Chenzhou are very obvious in Hunan. We should grasp these advantages and potentials from a far-sighted perspective and turn them into the driving force and vitality of economic development. In urban planning and construction, it is necessary to overcome the idea of self-restraint and self-contempt, do a good job in urban construction planning from a high starting point, give full play to Chenzhou's comparative advantages and late-comer advantages, and vigorously carry forward the enterprising spirit of "going up the stairs vertically and striving for first-class horizontally". Always keep vigorous enterprising spirit, enterprising spirit and pioneering courage, aim at building "the most open city in Hunan and the regional central city of Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi", and strive to make Chenzhou the first development area in the province and make greater contributions to Hunan's economic and social development.

All kinds of development signs show that the time is ripe for Chenzhou to accelerate its development. The Chenzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government proposed to build "the most open city in Hunan, a regional central city between Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi", which is just the right time!
