Is There Only 6 Cities In China That Do Not Have Fog And Haze To Have Your City?

How terrible is air pollution?

A report released this year at the United Nations Environment Conference shows that about 7 million people worldwide die from air pollution every year.

Last year, American scientists published a study showing that China's

On average, 4000 people die each day, accounting for 17% of the total number of deaths in China.

Haze is coming. Where do you want to escape? Do you think it's okay to leave the northern city and other first tier cities? Only 6 cities reached the target number of 100% days in the last year, they are: Barkam, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Tacheng, Ali and Linzhi.

Wang Bin, a white-collar resident in the metropolis, told the daily economic news reporter: "I've been to Barkam, Lijiang and Shangri-La. The air in these places is different from most cities. It breathed in and felt refreshed.

"

Why can these cities survive under haze containment?

In 2015, all the 338 cities above the city level carried out air quality new standards monitoring.

Monitoring standards include fine particulate matter (PM2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3) 8 hours concentration limit monitoring indicators.

The proportion analysis of the number of days reached the official notification shows that the proportion of the 338 cities reaching the standard number is between 19.2% and 100%, averaging 76.7%. The average number of days exceeding the standard is 23.3%, among which the proportion of light pollution days is 15.9%, moderate pollution is 4.2%, serious pollution is 2.5%, and serious pollution is 0.7%.

Among the 338 cities above the prefecture level, only 6 cities in Barkam, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Tacheng, Ali and Linzhi reached the standard number of 100%.

Whether it is first tier cities, second tier cities or three line cities, when haze has almost swept all major cities, why are these 6 cities spared?

Ma Jun, director of the Beijing public environment research center, told reporters that these areas are basically sparsely populated, and there is not a large number of industrial emissions. The characteristics of many industries are rather prominent. Some of them are in the forest area, near the snow mountain, and the ecological conditions are relatively good, mainly based on tourism industry.

Take Barkam as an example, Tibetan means "a place with strong fire", which is extended to "prosperous land".

Barkam is located on the southern edge of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the northwest of Sichuan basin. The total area of the city is 6633 square kilometers, and its resident population is about 60 thousand. Its main industries are agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism.

Almost the same size, Nanjing, with an area of 6597 square kilometers, has a population of over 8 million people. Besides being a key tourist city in China, Nanjing has many titles, including: it is an important comprehensive industrial production base in the country.

The steel industry is the pillar of the industry, which is supported by emerging industries such as software and service outsourcing, smart grid, wind power photovoltaic, rail pit, and so on.

In 2015, the mean value of PM2.5 in Nanjing was 57 micrograms per cubic meter, exceeding 0.63 times.

Fog and haze under the hood, how do we say go?

"From high school, I always wanted to go to Lijiang. I always thought Lijiang was a beautiful old town. It was beautiful without any filters."

"

In Lijiang bar, there are many netizens yearning for Lijiang's beautiful ecological environment.

Under the temptation of haze and beautiful scenery, many people even choose to move their homes.

In a big city, the husband and wife had their own good jobs and stable income. In 2013, they suddenly quit their jobs and set off a small hotel in the Lijiang scenic spot and lived off the city.

Xiao Zhang told reporters that the city's fast-paced work and air pollution made him feel tired, so he discussed with his wife and put aside his savings to choose a hotel in a good environment, not to earn money, but to think of such a semi secluded life.

As early as 2004, Lijiang developed the tourism development of Lijiang 2004~2020.

"By 2020, the total revenue of Lijiang's tourism doubled to 16 billion yuan in 2010, accounting for 60% of the city's gross national product, and became an important pillar of Lijiang's national economy, so as to achieve the goal of a strong tourism market.

The same as Lijiang, Barkam, Shangri-La and other cities are playing the card of "tourist city".

Ma Jun believes that the cities that are able to achieve the annual air quality can continue to maintain green water and green hills.

"Good air quality can bring more opportunities for local development. After all, good air is scarce and has become scarce resources. In the future, their attractiveness will become more and more obvious, attracting more people and development opportunities.

"Ma Jun said.
