Taizhou Yuhuan county was originally an island and a small county. In 1977, a 13 meters wide, 142-meter-long rotary door embankment, connects it to the mainland, but in the national statistical standards, it is still one of the country of 13 islands counties.

Yuhuan industry as a pillar industry, the local auto parts industry, annual production value of nearly 70 billion yuan, accounting for the county 30% of the total industrial economy. In addition to automobile engines, shell, other accessories everything. Today’s Yuhuan, has become the largest auto parts base in southern China.

Yuhuan is the country’s largest low-voltage copper valves production and export base, accounting for 60% of domestic exports. Almost every day there are 10 containers of low-pressure brass valves traveling at sea, are exported to Europe and the United States and other places.

Yuhuan sudden emergence of the furniture industry. In mid-September of this year, more than a thousand domestic and foreign businessmen gathered in the island to participate in Yuhuan International Furniture Fair, to local manufacturing companies sent nearly 30 million U.S. dollars of orders.

Yuhuan is the nation’s largest pressure cooker, glasses accessories, sewing machine and tortuous production base, the country’s major water supply and drainage equipment, disposable medical equipment production base.

Reasonable structure, the product is becoming more international-oriented industrial structure, so that Yuhuan completely got rid of “a fish farm 2 3 salt” and backwardness became county Zhejiang’s economy, the island nation of 13 counties, “pacesetter.”

Neither industrial resources, nor the location advantages of Yuhuan, becoming a veritable shining shore of the East China Sea, “Yuhuan” and rely on what? Relied on “self-reliance, and be pioneers” in the spirit of Yuhuan.

As early as 70 early in the 20th century, some of the fishermen Yuhuan together secretly to buy a few fishing boats, revenue minus costs allocated according to shares. This is in fact the embryonic form of stock.

In November 1972, Yuhuan Yoshiura commune Xiao-Sheng Zhi, Yan Hua Qi and other young people from the fishermen to buy fishing boats to get inspired by a joint venture, according to stock form, 150 yuan per share investment, as a business start-up costs, and are provided for one person with a workers into the factory when the workers, played a one run with 16 shares, 2,400 yuan of capital process plants. Then Yoshiura commune committees for process plants to withstand the pressure and collective enterprises to apply for business license in the name of the chapter covered. Yuhuan County, the first joint-stock cooperative enterprise was born. The end of 1978, Yoshiura have cropped up along the 34 such businesses.

After the Third Plenum of the Eleventh Party, Yuhuan County, cadres emboldened greater. In the Kanmen town, a number of normally understand the repair of fishing vessels abandoned machinery ashore, launched the friends and family, “add to the trouble of money,” run from Auto Parts Factory; in the Truman area, a local carpenter, a little spontaneous union, set up furniture workshop ; in county towns, many processing valves and plumbing fittings of the self-employed in order to “eat” into a larger orders, together embarked on the scale of the road and set up factories.

Town, Yuhuan Truman right to contract farmers to the land shares, running in size from a base of operations pomelo, this approach is vividly called the “Unit field system”; in Xuanmen Bay area, nearly ten thousand people into a fish farmers 35 group, both the joint venture also co-workers, built more than 8000 at sea only to anti-wave tank, so that aquaculture production in Yuhuan 7 consecutive years, ranking first in the country. System of innovation-driven technological innovation. Over the years, Yuhuan proposed to promote the industrialization of technology to high technology to transform traditional industries and develop high-tech industries. Islands lack of talent, from the outside “by the brain Yin Zhi”, technology shares as a link to find the best combination of technology and economic point. Since 1998, the county attracted a total of 1470 middle and senior IT personnel who stock of auto parts science and technology development companies, Chinese Academy of Sciences of chitin in the test laboratories, research centers and other six Chinese cooking large production and research base for the successive rise of the island into a new industry vitality.

Two innovations contributed to rapid economic development in Yuhuan. Since 1992, Yuhuan GDP annual rate of over 20% growth in 2001 provincial per capita fiscal revenue from fourth place to achieve the economy of the historic leap.

Economic development, who has risen up to Yuhuan backs. They feel, “an island is a city” has been the dream could become reality, completely change the “hundred of strength, broken cities”, the time is ripe. County, the county government of hindering the timely hit to create a modern port Yuhuan medium-sized city’s slogan, is determined to bring the island of urbanization sustainable economic development.

They are adapted to local conditions, the city’s master plan revision will be the island according to the city center, sub-centers and coordinated development of the area three levels of the building. At present, the town built-up area of 1.5 square kilometers from 1995 expanded to 14.3 square kilometers, with plans to expand in 2005 to 20 square kilometers.

“Hong Kong as the city use, the city with Hong Kong-hing.” Relying on Damaiyu 100,000-ton deep-water harbor, Yuhuan speed up the port construction and port-based economy, so that to obtain industry support for urbanization. The state has invested a billion dollars of the grain depots directly under the central Damaiyu settled, so that the port becomes busy; the longest highway tunnel in the tunnel linking Lantau Chen, closer to the distance from the port and the Chengguan; the country’s largest fishing port threshold mass Door to Hong Kong for 3000 fishing boats anchor, supplies and shelter from the wind. This year, Xuanmen build two light reclamation project, where mound reservoirs, sewage treatment and so on more than 20

A total investment of 3.786 billion yuan in key construction projects are also getting better.
In advancing the process of urbanization, Yuhuan broaden access areas, using joint-stock and other multi-input mechanism, from the community has attracted more than 90% of the construction funds for urban-based comprehensive “acceleration” provides a powerful driving force. Yuhuan City, the emerging function of concentration and radiation continuously enhanced, more than a thousand fishermen have converted, the town set up factories in business, thousands of islands and mountains of migrants settled in cities and towns, hundreds of thousands of people to the modern transformation of traditional farmers, so that the current level of urbanization Yuhuan jumped to 53%.

Yuhuan is sounded, “the island urbanization” the clarion call, big strides toward the modernization of the other side.

please help with economic question!?

Say you are watching your favorite television program, and a commercial comes on. A soothing voice begins to describe your imaginary vacation in the lush, tropical paradise of Timbucktoo (a remote island in the South Pacific-fictitious of course), while pictures of rain forests and secluded beaches flash across your T.V. screen.

The commercial begins to describe your daily itinerary while showing you the “gentle and friendly” native peoples of Timbucktoo, performing native dances and other activities to the delight of the tourists.

You begin to think (sadly enough!) about macroeconomics. You wonder about these “gentle and friendly” people of Timbucktoo living on an island thousands of miles away from anything out in the middle of the South Pacific, and you ask yourself why the people of Timbucktoo would desire tourism to come to their peaceful and secluded island? What could they possibly do with that added aggregate income (generated by tourism) when they are out in the middle of nowhere. What could they possibly spend their money on? What about the pollution and the noise? The hustle and bustle, the crime! And what about their peaceful and gentle way of life? Is it worth sacrificing for more income?
