I am from Luonan, and I am most qualified to answer this question. In recent 10 years, other counties have been developing continuously, but the development speed of Luonan County is extremely slow. The main reasons are summarized as follows:

The first thing that bothers the people of the county is the traffic problem. So far, expressway has only a short section, and it has crossed the border; The railway is impassable; Many provincial roads are potholed and cannot be repaired in time, especially the newly-built Barrow (Luonan County to Lantian Eighth Hospital) highway, which has been built for seven or eight years. Until now, the section from Baoan to Eighth Hospital has been opened, and the pavement of Zhangping Reservoir is in tatters, making it almost impossible to walk. County-level highways are even more unbearable, intermittent and bumpy. Therefore, tourist attractions such as Music Town, Splendid Land, Rose Town and Cang Xie Town are also local people who take their families around on weekends or other holidays, and few people from other places are interested, because the traffic is too inconvenient. Due to traffic restrictions, some decent factories in other places are unwilling to take root here, making the local economy look very backward in the city.

Second, Luonan belongs to the only county in Shangluo area of the Yellow River basin, and it also belongs to one of the contiguous poverty-stricken counties in the country. Therefore, people's thoughts are always in a conservative position like Guanzhong people, content with the status quo, not enterprising, and the economy has fallen behind. Coupled with conservative thinking, the economy lags behind brother counties and cities.

Third, the decision-makers lack strategic vision, only pay attention to the superficial performance projects, and lack fundamental attention to the development and construction of people's livelihood projects. Tourism projects such as Rose Town, Music Town and Splendid Land invested by hundreds of millions of dollars are not attractive at the deep cultural level due to traffic restrictions and insufficient infrastructure. Therefore, despite making a big fuss on the Internet, foreign tourists feel cheated and disappointed after coming, and there will be no repeat customers.

Fourth, lack of resources, lack of leading industries, employment difficulties.

Faced with this situation, some promising young people don't want to miss their motherland and move their hukou to other places with development potential, such as Xi and Beijing. If conditions permit, I will also take my family to other places to develop, and they are all developing very well. For decades, in the rural areas I am familiar with, about one-eighth of people have moved their hukou to other places.

At present, the total population of Luonan is less than 400,000, but about110 of the total population emigrates every year. I think this number will continue to rise in the future. In the near future, the population of Luonan will be greatly reduced, and there will be a large number of empty villages, and even the people in the county town may not be half as much as they are now.

One is that the county economy is underdeveloped and employment is difficult; One is that traffic has developed in recent years and has been sucked away by big cities. According to the old woman's finger, it will be reduced by 30% in another ten years. At that time, the streets of the county will be sparsely populated and there will be many elderly people sitting in the corners. It's hard to see a beautiful young lady.

In 1970s and 1980s, agriculture in Luonan was the leader of Shangluo. With the relocation of three factories and one hospital in the 1990s, the industrial economy of Xiluonan went from bad to worse, and a large number of state-owned enterprises closed down.

In the new millennium, except Luonan County, all counties in Shangluo have been connected with railways, and the economy has developed rapidly. Luonan, which is blocked by traffic, still stands. 20 12 managed to build an eight-kilometer expressway to the county seat, but the traffic jam problem has not been completely solved.

Traffic is the primary factor of economic development. Traffic jams can't attract investors, and it's even harder to get a job. Then there is the high housing prices in Luonan, which is seriously out of income and a large number of young people are leaving.

If we don't change the traffic jam in Luonan County, the situation of population loss will be irreversible, and the development of Luonan is worrying!

Man struggles upwards, but water flows downwards! This is a natural phenomenon. A poor county can't keep young people who want to survive and develop, but can only move towards a prosperous city that can survive. The old man in the twilight has finished his last life with a trace of nostalgia for his hometown, and the mountain village in the countryside has finally become a remote and forgotten corner. Luonan will eventually become the same as Zhouzhi's old county, but it only takes a hundred years. Expressway, high-speed rail and Luonan have no chance, and they can only become memories in the end.

Mainly in mountainous areas, the restrictions are large and the development is naturally slow.
