The cheapest city in China - Yumen Old Town

Speaking of Yumen in Gansu

Except for the natives of Gansu

Maybe everyone's impression of Yumen still stays in

Wang Zhihuan's "Liangzhou Ci":

"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds,

A lonely city of Wanren Mountain.

Why should the Qiang flute complain about the willows?

The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass. "

But now Yumen

no more spring breeze

Thousands have left

"2000 yuan to buy a suite"

over a month ago

The topic of a city with the lowest housing prices in China has become a hot topic

this city

It's not the Hegang I've heard of before

It's Yumen Old Town

Housing prices in third- and fourth-tier cities today

It has already broken through 10,000 or even higher in the environment

The price of Yumen Old Town is only 28 yuan/square meter

The price of just one ice cream (a well-known brand)

This is simply out of line

Although 28 yuan / square meter house

In the old city of Yumen is just an example

But the local house prices are generally very low

Some netizens say

In 2007, I bought a house with three bedrooms and one living room of 80 square meters

The price is 4000 yuan

And the ABC family building with the best quality and good location

A 110-square-meter house sells for less than 9,000 yuan

Some owners even sold their houses

In the end, the price of a set of 2000 yuan was sold

That is to say

Ten thousand or twenty thousand houses are everywhere in Yumen Old City

The location is not particularly good

possible monthly salary

You can get the full amount and become a homeowner

House prices in other cities are rising year by year

Only Yumen Old Town

A year is not as good as a year

Even the house price is not included in the real estate platform

So there is no objection to saying that this is the lowest house price in the country

"Success is also oil, failure is also oil"

So why?

let this historic city

Has it become what it is now?

Can't escape eight words

"Success is also oil, failure is also oil"

Speaking of the oil capital

In fact, before today's oil capital Daqing

my country still has an earlier oil city

The first oil well in New China was born here

first oil field

The first petrochemical base

Its appearance made China completely throw away the hat of "oil-poor country"

This city is Yumen

Before liberation

Oil production in Yumen Oilfield

accounting for more than 95% of the

With the rise of the oil industry

It has gradually evolved into a vibrant city

throughout the Northwest Territories

There are few cities that can compare with Yumen.

At that time, Yumen could be regarded as

The most prosperous city on the entire Silk Road

But the good times don't last long

In the seventies and eighties

There have been several domestic

The city that developed the oil resources

And the crude oil reserves in those places far exceed Yumen

on the one hand

Where are better prospects

on the other hand

Yumen is rich in talent and technology

or be drawn

or fly away

Yumen first faced the embarrassing situation of brain drain

Next

Petroleum resources are not renewable

Yumen is not a long-term solution

Later, with the depletion of local oil resources

The once brilliant Yumen has also gone downhill

In addition, Yumen is on the edge of the desert

dry climate

not too livable

thus caused

The phenomenon of more and more Yumen people fleeing the old city of Yumen

The old city with a population of 150,000

Less than 20,000 people left

Most of the elderly live here

uninhabited old house

Sandwiched between snow-capped mountains and desert

Old town streets in twos and threes

Only one traffic light is running

Desolation and the end of an era

03

Yumen is not a "ghost town"

but

Although the population loss is serious

Oil companies move out

But it's still a bit exaggerated to describe it as a "ghost town"

even in the old town

It is also common for residents to come and go

Plus

Although the glory of Yumen is turned over in the old city

But in today's new city Yumen, we started again

Buy a house here? you don't have to

But if you have the opportunity to come to Gansu

It is still recommended that you come to Yumen to turn around the unique historical sense of the product.

"Jade Lake Park"

Transformation from old town to new town

Yuze Lake is like a new beginning

This is after Yumen moved to the new urban area

built civic park

In the vast Gobi in the northwest

There is such a beautiful park

It is also rare

Stroll by the lake

Admiring the green trees and white clouds, the small bridge and flowing water

There is a feeling of "people in the middle of the painting"

old man beside

or chatting

or dancing

while the other child runs ahead

Mom shouted from behind: "Slow down, slow down"

Yumen New City is no longer the Yumen mentioned above

It is "resurrecting" and moving slowly

"Yumen Magic Mountain Geopark"

Yumen Magic Mountain National Geopark

Although not well known

But here it covers Danxia landform, petrified wood group

Paleogene red sandstone landform, Cretaceous caldera

Ancient plants, ancient invertebrate fossils, etc.

Original ecological natural landscape

It's like a gateway into history

in it

Danxia of all colors and forms is presented in front of you

There are tall rock pillars of various shapes standing on the red sandstone

the sound of wind

Wander around in this mysterious castle

thin smoke

Follow you through the deep valley

at sunset

overlooking from a height

It's like stepping into a mythical world

Eyes full of colored stripes

and irregular cracks

It gives endless reverie

In addition to sighing the wonder of nature

I can't help but feel the insignificance of human beings

However, the scenic spot is currently under construction

Can't get in through the gate

It's dangerous because the gate is a military-administered area

You can enter from the side stone road

"Yanchi Bay"

in the mind of many

There seems to be only desert and Gobi in the northwest

until come

I got to know this old northwest city again

Yanchi Bay is a very beautiful scenery

National Nature Reserve

set foot on this pristine land

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city

The scene where the soul penetrates people and nature

driving here

You can often see snow leopards running

White-lipped deer and Tibetan gazelle graze comfortably

The wild yak that appears from time to time wags its tail leisurely

On the other side, the black-necked crane spreads its wings in the wetlands

it's not over

The reason why these nationally protected animals are common here

It is precisely because of the excellent ecological environment here

so

When mountains, meadows, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, deserts, Gobi

When the turns appear in front of your eyes

You may also envy these animals

Enjoy this paradise

"Changma Canyon"

evaluation of it

It's an understatement to say it's a wonderland

Changma is located at the western foot of Qilian Mountains, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

is a small natural basin

Due to lush water plants

Legend has it that it was the place where Fan Lihua, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, raised military horses.

Hence the name "Changma"

Due to the abundant water resources in the

The rivers are vertical and horizontal, the clear springs are densely covered, and the lakes are rippling

Where there is water, there is scenery

Therefore, the Changma Basin also carries many scenic spots.

The Shule River rushes out of the Changma Canyon

like a blue ribbon

Hardly in the gray-yellow canyon

opened up a fountain of life

both magical and spectacular

"Red Gold Gorge"

Chijin Gorge in Chijin Town, Yumen City

It is the location of Lao Yumen Pass

Because the reservoir was built here

So there are mountains and waters, and the trees are lush

It's a good place to relax in the local area

There is no noise and pollution of big cities

The air is very fresh

In summer, many people are willing to come here to escape the heat

Those who like excitement can raft

If you don't like excitement, take a boat tour

rolling mountains in front

like a giant landscape

Yumen is not a "ghost town"

Here are the Han, Hui,

Mongolian, Tibetan, and other 29 ethnic minorities

It has rich national cultural colors

Yumen is not a desert

Snow mountains, grasslands, rivers, deserts, glaciers

The unique grand scene of the Northwest

Not many here

Yumen environment is not bad

The sky is blue and cloudy and the water is clear

The road is clean and no traffic jams

not livable

But the environment is better than many cities

Yumen New City is a new beginning for Yumen people

They left the oil field in the old town

nor get rid of

But to continue the spirit of Yumen Oilfield

Whether it's a depressed old town

or a prosperous new city

Yumen's history will not be complete without any part
