I am from Zhanjiang. Let me answer this question: Zhanjiang is only a third-rate city, which is more than enough. As far as Guangdong is concerned, it is relatively backward compared with cities in the Pearl River Delta, but cities such as Meizhou, Shanwei and Yunfu are relatively better. After all, it was only in recent years that it began to develop vigorously. However, it is a very livable city, at least there is no traffic jam in big cities, convenient transportation, low price level and high urban green area; Zhanjiang is also very suitable for doing business. In addition, there are three famous universities in Guangdong Province, as well as other large state-owned enterprises, such as Zhanjiang Iron and Steel Plant and Zhongke Petrochemical (although Kuwait has withdrawn its capital, it is said that another large state-owned enterprise in China has injected capital), both of which are new high-capacity enterprises and are still under construction. In addition, enterprises with large production scale include Chenming Pulp, Sinopec Zhanjiang Branch and Nanhai Petroleum Company. Due to Zhanjiang's strategic position, the South China Sea Fleet Command is also in Zhanjiang. The consumption level is moderate. Troops, college students and large state-owned enterprises can not be ignored in Zhanjiang.

I think Zhanjiang's prosperity can be reflected in Zhanjiang's "shopping malls". The better shopping malls in Zhanjiang are: Baiguang, Jiaxin Mao, Xinhai City, City Plaza, Shaw International, World Trade Center and Guo Mao. Wangfujing Department Store is under construction, and there are two new unfinished ones: Ding Sheng Plaza and Huaduhui.

Much better than some provincial capital cities in China, such as Guiyang (I only know this)!
