The West Tower is famous, and its name comes from the West Tower and West Lake.

The West Tower is a Tang Dynasty pagoda located on the edge of the West Lake, and the West Lake is not the West Lake of Hangzhou, there is no broken bridge and there are no three pools reflecting the moon, but a lake located in the suburbs of the city of Xita County, compared to the West Lake of Hangzhou, the area of the West Lake in Xita County is several times larger, eighteen square kilometers, the West Tower is located under the Tiger Mountain in the west of the lake, the mountain is surrounded by water, Zhong Ling is alone, the Zen rhyme is long, there is a charm.

The West Pagoda Temple has a history of more than 1,000 years, but the scale of the West Pagoda Temple is not large, and the incense is not strong compared to other famous temples in the province, but it is located on the shore of the West Lake, the mountains and forests are verdant, the water is blue and the peaks are green, and its environment is far more elegant than the crowded Hangzhou West Lake.

In addition to more than 10 square kilometers of lake surface, there are nearly 10 square kilometers of swamp wetlands next to the interaction.

On the one hand, the use of national special funds to build and maintain this rare wetland, and on the other hand, the construction of the wetland park can also be used to enhance the reputation of Xita County as an ecological county, but Qiu Haibo and Qin Zedong are not very interested, and even think that Lu Weimin is deliberately snubbing the West Tower.

Your executive vice mayor came to our West Tower to investigate and suggest, not to talk about projects, not to talk about attracting investment, not to talk about how to develop industry, but to teach us what kind of ecological construction county, do you still think that we are not poor enough and backward enough?

Lu Weimin was also speechless in this regard.

In the previous life, the West Tower gradually developed into the back garden of Changzhou City, the West Tower is 81 kilometers away from the urban area of Songzhou, but it is only 23 kilometers away from the urban area of Changzhou, but the West Peak Mountain between the West Tower and Yufeng County of Changzhou isolates the traffic between the two places.

It's not that Xifeng Mountain is so steep, in fact, Xifeng Mountain is just an ordinary hilly mountain in the hilly terrain of Jiangnan, but Yufeng and Xita itself don't have much contact.

Historically, Yufeng has belonged to the Changzhou Economic Region. Xita, on the other hand, is an agricultural county on the Songzhou side, with little economic exchange.

Although Xifeng Mountain stretches for dozens of kilometers, the mountain is long but not thick and precipitous, and the real straight-line distance from Xita County to Yufeng County is only 145 kilometers, and Yufeng County to Changzhou City is only nine kilometers, it is said that Yufeng has been included in the planning of Changzhou County, if it is not for the relatively backward economy of Yufeng, I am afraid that Yufeng County has already started.

In the previous life, the redistricting of Yufeng County was also delayed after 2006, the main reason is that Yufeng's economy has been at the bottom of Changzhou, and later it is also the continuous expansion and expansion of Changzhou's urban area. Yufeng's abundant land resources make Yufeng the main direction of expansion in Changzhou urban area, which really includes Yufeng.

Once Yufeng was incorporated into the urban area of Changzhou, the West Tower, which was only separated by a horse from Yufeng Mountain, became a hot land, and the large-scale Xifeng Avenue broke out of the mountain, making the connection between the two places suddenly tightened.

In just three or four years. The West Tower has become the most favored place for real estate capital in Changzhou, and the Jiugui Garden, Lanshan Garden, and Tahu Territory on the edge of the West Lake have become the most famous villa concentration areas in Changzhou. Become the first choice for the new rich in Changzhou. Later, Changzhou's third ring road passes directly from the foot of Xifeng Mountain, making the West Tower truly the back garden of Changzhou.

The county is divided into three parts of flat land, one part of lakes and marshes, and six points of hills, and the hill area presents a semi-circular distribution in the south and west, wrapping and guarding the west tower. It also makes the West Tower a prominent territory in the southwest corner of Songzhou.

The three points of flat land and one point of lakes and marshes are mainly concentrated in this area surrounded by the West Peak Mountain, so the mountains are surrounded by water, and the conditions for the development of agriculture are quite suitable.

"Qiwei, I think one of Secretary Lu's points of view is very much in line with the reality of our West Tower. That is, we cannot use our own shortcomings to compare the strengths of our brother cities, but we still have to develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses. Li Youjun sorted out his thoughts, "I have carefully analyzed our strengths and advantages, there are only two points, first, the location advantage, close to Changzhou, although there is Xifeng Mountain apart, but to break this bottleneck, it is not impossible, but this may require a large investment in the initial stage, but I think we must take this step." ”

Miao Qiwei agrees with Li Youjun's point, the West Tower is in a corner, neither on the Changsong Highway, nor on the verge of the national highway, only a provincial highway.

To the west and south are surrounded by Xifeng Mountain, only to the north to Songzhou, to the east to Sui'an, but once the bottleneck of Xifeng Mountain is broken to the south, then the advantage of geographical location is suddenly highlighted.

It's just that this breakthrough is not so simple to break through the bottleneck of Xifeng Mountain, the straight-line distance from Xita to Yufeng is not far, but it needs to pass through Xifeng Mountain, in terms of engineering quantity and construction difficulty, it is not very big, but there is a problem here, that is, the enthusiasm of Yufeng County.

Yufeng and Xita have very little economic exchanges, and there is no connection, to build this road, although there are only so many more than ten kilometers, but because it is a mountain road, it is estimated that the cost per kilometer is at least one or two million, which is only calculated according to the ordinary secondary road.

If you want to follow a higher standard, such as the six-lane cost mentioned by Lu Weimin, it will at least be doubled, which means that the cost of these more than ten kilometers of roads may be 50 or 60 million.

Even if there is a compromise, first build four lanes plus a separation belt, and reserve two lanes on both sides of the road, it is estimated that it will not be able to get off without 50 million.

Fifty million is not a small amount for the finance of Sita, even if there is a subsidy from the city, Sita can't afford it, and if Yufeng wants to pay, it is estimated that the other party is not interested at all.

It is estimated that many people will find it difficult to accept the contribution of the West Tower, so why should the West Tower side contribute to the road from Yufeng to the West Tower? You must know that once the road is built, it will be the two counties that will benefit.

Lu Weimin mentioned this problem to Li Youjun and Miao Qiwei, and the benefits of this highway can only be truly reflected until the real estate industry enters the prosperous stage, especially the real estate industry in Changzhou, which enters the climax period, and it is not obvious now, and many people are not aware of it.

In fact, Li Youjun and Miao Qiwei did not realize it, and they could not have imagined that in the next ten years, China's real estate industry would run wild with such a high attitude, and everything with land and real estate would swell rapidly like a bubble.

There is still a process to solve the problem of road bottlenecks, especially the construction of southbound passages.

"The second is the ecological environment advantage of our West Tower. When Li Youjun mentioned this, his tone was not as sure as when he said the first point, but with an exploratory flavor, "There is no industry in our West Tower, there is no pollution, the county is small, the urban population is small, most of the county is in the original ecological environment, our county's lakes, marshes and rivers account for more than 10% of the county's water area, and the forest cover accounts for 68.7 percent, it can be said that everywhere you see, everything is verdant, and the advantages of the ecological environment are incomparable." With the development of modern society, the people's demand for the quality of the living environment will be higher and higher, and the lack of industry in our West Tower also brings a big advantage from another point of view, the ecological environment without industrial pollution is often particularly attractive to people who are eager to live close to green nature, and at this point, I think we can make a big fuss. ”

"Secretary Li, I understand your intentions, we also discussed last time, modern ecological agriculture, tourism agriculture, leisure and cultural industry, Sports tourism industry, these industries with relatively vague positioning should be the direction of our West Tower focus on cultivating and developing in the future, but this may require us to give up the development of the industry, or at least let us be greatly restricted in the choice of industrial development, basically excluding the vast majority of traditional industries, this is not an easy decision to make, maybe it will make it difficult for us to see the results of the harvest within a few years, the municipal party committee and the municipal government ......?"

On this issue, Li Youjun and Miao Qiwei have actually had several discussions, but none of them have been as straightforward and thorough as this time, and today Li Youjun brought it up like this, which means that Li Youjun may have a choice.

"Qiwei, it's not just as simple as you said, it's one thing to give up traditional industries, it's one thing to not see the benefits in a short period of time, and to develop the industries I just mentioned, we also need to invest in infrastructure on a large scale, which is even more of a problem. Li Youjun sighed and shook his head, "But do we have a choice? If we make the same choice as Su Chen and Sui'an, can we compete and win? I don't think there is much chance of winning." If we compete according to the path they choose, even if we get some investment and cultivate some industries, it may be that they pick and choose the leftovers, maybe it is high pollution, which will inevitably bring great pressure to our environmental advantages, which will damage our long-term and lasting competitiveness, so I don't think it is a path worth taking. ”

Li Youjun is also full of ambivalence when he said this, the cultivation and development of new industries is not just a matter of saying two words and shouting slogans, such as modern ecological agriculture, sightseeing agriculture, leisure and cultural industries, sports and tourism industries, these are all about the environmental atmosphere, market demand, is the current situation of the West Tower suitable?

How long will it take to create such an atmosphere, what conditions are needed, and will Sita be able to do it?

Lu Weimin talked to him twice, and Lu Weimin, including Lu Weimin himself, also had some worries about this idea, thinking that it did have some risks, which was quite rare.

You must know that Lu Dao Lu Weimin's current influence in Songzhou's economic work even surpasses that of Tong Yunsong and Wei Xingxia, and he has a considerable say in how Songzhou should develop and how to develop.

The first is to ask for a monthly pass!(To be continued......)
