On January 20, 2017, the National Bureau of Statistics announced that China's GDP reached 74.4127 trillion yuan in 2016, up 6.7% year-on-year. As of January 20, most cities across the country had released their economic data for the past year. Based on the collected information, the ranking of the top 100 Chinese cities by GDP (total economic output) in 2016 is as follows:

Among the four major economic provinces: Guangdong, 9 of its 21 prefecture-level cities entered the national top 100; Jiangsu, all 13 prefecture-level cities entered the national top 100, making it the only province where all prefecture-level cities made the list; Shandong, 15 of its 17 prefecture-level cities entered the national top 100, ranking first in the country in terms of number; Zhejiang, 8 of its 11 prefecture-level cities entered the national top 100.

Take a quick look at where your favorite cities rank!

Detailed ranking:
1. Shanghai 2668.8 billion yuan, up 6.7% year-on-year (population: 24.15 million)
2. Beijing 2454.1 billion yuan, up 6.7% year-on-year (population: 21.71 million)
3. Guangzhou (Guangdong 1) 2000.4 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 16.67 million)
4. Shenzhen (Guangdong 2) 1930 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 10.77 million)
5. Tianjin 1780 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 15.47 million)
6. Chongqing 1701 billion yuan, up 10.7% year-on-year (population: 33.72 million)
7. Suzhou (Jiangsu 1) 1540 billion yuan, up 7.5% year-on-year (population: 10.6 million)
8. Wuhan (Hubei 1) 1175.6 billion yuan, up 7.8% year-on-year (population: 10.61 million)
9. Chengdu (Sichuan 1) 1172.1 billion yuan, up 7.5% year-on-year (population: 15.73 million)
10. Hangzhou (Zhejiang 1) 1170 billion yuan, up 10% year-on-year (population: 8.89 million)

Interval analysis: With the deepening of reform and opening up, Guangdong's economic vitality has further strengthened as a frontline. Chengdu, which developed rapidly in previous years, has entered a stage of economic structural adjustment, with a slowdown in growth. Hangzhou has taken the lead in the Yangtze River Delta to complete economic transformation and upgrading, entering a new round of rapid development, and is expected to continue moving up in the national ranking in the coming years.

11. Nanjing (Jiangsu 2) 1045 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 8.24 million)
12. Qingdao (Shandong 1) 1010 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 8.71 million)
13. Changsha (Hunan 1) 930.9 billion yuan, up 9.4% year-on-year (population: 7.43 million)
14. Wuxi (Jiangsu 3) 915.7 billion yuan, up 7.5% year-on-year (population: 6.51 million)
15. Foshan (Guangdong 3) 860 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year (population: 7.35 million)
16. Ningbo (Zhejiang 2) 856 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year (population: 7.83 million)
17. Dalian (Liaoning 1) 815 billion yuan, up 6.5% year-on-year (population: 6.69 million)
18. Zhengzhou (Henan 1) 792 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year (population: 9.57 million)
19. Shenyang (Liaoning 2) 764.4 billion yuan, up 3% year-on-year (population: 8.29 million)
20. Yantai (Shandong 2) 700.3 billion yuan, up 8.2% year-on-year (population: 7.02 million)

Interval analysis: Nanjing and Qingdao developed rapidly in previous years due to the benefits of hosting international events, but as the events ended, their economic growth slowed and entered a relatively stable period. Dalian and Shenyang have been affected by the overall economic situation in the Northeast, resulting in relatively slow development.

21. Jinan (Shandong 3) 680 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 7.06 million)
22. Dongguan (Guangdong 4) 677 billion yuan, up 8.1% year-on-year (population: 8.32 million)
23. Quanzhou (Fujian 1) 661 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 8.51 million)
24. Nantong (Jiangsu 4) 660.7 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 7.3 million)
25. Tangshan (Hebei 1) 647.4 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year (population: 7.8 million)
26. Xi'an (Shaanxi 1) 648 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 8.71 million)
27. Harbin (Heilongjiang 1) 627 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 10.01 million)
28. Hefei (Anhui 1) 620 billion yuan, up 10% year-on-year (population: 7.79 million)
29. Fuzhou (Fujian 2) 605 billion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year (population: 7.34 million)
30. Changchun (Jilin 1) 586 billion yuan, up 7.5% year-on-year (population: 7.67 million)

Interval analysis: The biggest obstacles to Jinan's development are traffic congestion and air pollution, but it has not been determined to tackle them. The second phase of Liuchangshan Road, known as the second Jingshi Road, has been repeatedly delayed, like a "thrombus in the brain, hemiplegia in the body," becoming the primary factor hindering its rapid development. Quanzhou and Fuzhou, driven by the "Belt and Road" policy, will maintain rapid development momentum in the short term.

31. Shijiazhuang (Hebei 2) 582.2 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 10.49 million)
32. Weifang (Shandong 4) 574.6 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 9.27 million)
33. Xuzhou (Jiangsu 5) 572 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 8.67 million)
34. Changzhou (Jiangsu 6) 570 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year (population: 4.7 million)
35. Wenzhou (Zhejiang 3) 511 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 9.19 million)
36. Shaoxing (Zhejiang 4) 480 billion yuan, up 5% year-on-year (population: 5.01 million)
37. Ordos (Inner Mongolia 1) 467.8 billion yuan, up 7.3% year-on-year (population: 2.01 million)
38. Jining (Shandong 5) 462 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 8.08 million)
39. Zibo (Shandong 6) 440 billion yuan, up 7.6% year-on-year (population: 4.64 million)
40. Daqing (Heilongjiang 2) 435 billion yuan, up 1.5% year-on-year (population: 2.81 million)

Interval analysis: Hefei, while undertaking industrial transfer from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, has also gathered high-quality resources from the entire Anhui Province, boosting its economic growth rate, which is expected to remain strong in the coming years. Weifang was once the fastest-growing city in the world, but with industrial restructuring and upgrading, its economic growth has slowed. Daqing's oil resources are increasingly depleted, leading to slower development, and it urgently needs to accelerate industrial restructuring.

41. Yancheng (Jiangsu 7) 438 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 7.21 million)
42. Yangzhou (Jiangsu 8) 437.5 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 4.61 million)
43. Kunming (Yunnan 1) 437 billion yuan, up 6.4% year-on-year (population: 7.26 million)
44. Nanchang (Jiangxi 1) 436 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 5.3 million)
45. Linyi (Shandong 7) 430.5 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 11.24 million)
46. Dongying (Shandong 8) 401.3 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year (population: 2.09 million)
47. Baotou (Inner Mongolia 2) 396.9 billion yuan, up 7.6% year-on-year (population: 2.76 million)
48. Taizhou (Zhejiang 5) 393 billion yuan, up 6.8% year-on-year (population: 6.03 million)
49. Taizhou (Jiangsu 9) 392.4 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 5.08 million)
50. Jiaxing (Zhejiang 6) 383.6 billion yuan, up 6.8% year-on-year (population: 4.55 million)

Interval analysis: Yangzhou's economic growth has been among the fastest in Jiangsu Province in recent years, and its favorable location has gradually elevated its status within the province. Nanchang and Linyi, as red tourism destinations, are increasingly favored by domestic and foreign tourists, and their economic growth continues to run at a high level.

51. Luoyang (Henan 2) 379.5 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 6.62 million)
52. Xiamen (Fujian 3) 373.7 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 3.67 million)
53. Zhenjiang (Jiangsu 10) 370.6 billion yuan, up 9.1% year-on-year (population: 3.11 million)
54. Jinhua (Zhejiang 7) 366.2 billion yuan, up 7.9% year-on-year (population: 5.36 million)
55. Tai'an (Shandong 9) 363 billion yuan, up 9.3% year-on-year (population: 5.56 million)
56. Nanning (Guangxi 1) 362.9 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year (population: 6.66 million)
57. Cangzhou (Hebei 3) 362 billion yuan, up 7.6% year-on-year (population: 6.8 million)
58. Xiangyang (Hubei 2) 360 billion yuan, up 8.6% year-on-year (population: 5.5 million)
59. Yichang (Hubei 3) 359.1 billion yuan, up 8.8% year-on-year (population: 4.05 million)
60. Handan (Hebei 4) 350 billion yuan, up 6.5% year-on-year (population: 9.17 million)

Interval analysis: Xiamen has undergone economic restructuring and upgrading in recent years, with a slowdown in growth but a significant improvement in development quality, and its economic development level has risen to the forefront among sub-provincial cities. Tai'an is one of the prefecture-level cities with the richest tourism resources in China. With the brand of "famous Chinese and foreign tourist destination" and the construction of major tourism projects, its economic growth is expected to remain high for a long time.

61. Yulin (Shaanxi 2) 341.2 billion yuan, up 5% year-on-year (population: 3.75 million)
62. Huizhou (Guangdong 5) 339 billion yuan, up 7.8% year-on-year (population: 4.76 million)
63. Hohhot (Inner Mongolia 3) 331.9 billion yuan, up 7.1% year-on-year (population: 3 million)

66. Baoding (Hebei 5) 315 billion yuan, up 6.7% year-on-year (population: 10.17 million)
67. Zhangzhou (Fujian 4) 311.1 billion yuan, up 9.3% year-on-year (population: 4.96 million)
68. Guiyang (Guizhou 1) 307.7 billion yuan, up 11% year-on-year (population: 4.68 million)
69. Jilin (Jilin 2) 300.1 billion yuan, up 6% year-on-year (population: 4.41 million)
70. Dezhou (Shandong 11) 299 billion yuan, up 7.5% year-on-year (population: 6.5 million)

Interval analysis: Weihai, as the world's livable city and China's first national sanitary city, its development philosophy of environmental protection first provides profound inspiration for today's China, and its excellent urban environment will better promote real economic growth in the future. Anshan is an old industrial city, and with the national policy to revitalize the old industrial bases in the Northeast, its economic development is expected to accelerate in the coming years.

71. Anshan (Liaoning 3) 298.8 billion yuan, up 3% year-on-year (population: 3.64 million)
72. Taiyuan (Shanxi 1) 298.5 billion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year (population: 4.29 million)
73. Liaocheng (Shandong 12) 290.5 billion yuan, up 7.4% year-on-year (population: 5.91 million)

75. Hengyang (Hunan 4) 282 billion yuan, up 9% year-on-year (population: 7.34 million)
76. Changde (Hunan 3) 281.9 billion yuan, up 8.9% year-on-year (population: 6.07 million)
77. Yueyang (Hunan 2) 273.5 billion yuan, up 7.9% year-on-year (population: 5.59 million)
78. Nanyang (Henan 3) 272 billion yuan, up 8.3% year-on-year (population: 10.09 million)
79. Huai'an (Jiangsu 11) 271.7 billion yuan, up 8.9% year-on-year (population: 5.64 million)
80. Maoming (Guangdong 7) 267.9 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year (population: 6.01 million)

Interval analysis: Urumqi has benefited from the "Belt and Road" policy, and its economic growth has been rising in recent years, and this momentum is expected to continue for a long time. Guiyang has seen its economic growth rate continuously improve since it began to vigorously develop the tourism industry, providing a good reference for many relatively underdeveloped cities in the central and western regions.

81. Binzhou (Shandong 13) 258.7 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year (population: 3.8 million)
82. Wuhu (Anhui 2) 257.1 billion yuan, up 9.5% year-on-year (population: 3.65 million)
83. Zhanjiang (Guangdong 8) 257 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 7.16 million)
84. Heze (Shandong 14) 255 billion yuan, up 8.5% year-on-year (population: 8.43 million)
85. Jiangmen (Guangdong 9) 240.6 billion yuan, up 7.4% year-on-year (population: 4.48 million)
86. Liuzhou (Guangxi 2) 240.1 billion yuan, up 7.2% year-on-year (population: 3.75 million)
87. Zhuzhou (Hunan 5) 239.5 billion yuan, up 8.2% year-on-year (population: 3.95 million)
88. Xuchang (Henan 4) 238.5 billion yuan, up 7.5% year-on-year (population: 4.31 million)
89. Xianyang (Shaanxi 3) 236.2 billion yuan, up 7.6% year-on-year (population: 5.27 million)
90. Zaozhuang (Shandong 15) 235.7 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year (population: 3.94 million)

Interval analysis: Wuhu's economic development level is relatively lagging in the country, but as it accelerates its integration into the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, it will maintain relatively fast economic growth in the coming years. Xianyang has a profound historical and cultural heritage, but it has not been transformed into development advantages like Xi'an, and its economic development still has the potential for leapfrog improvement.

90. Langfang (Hebei 5) 231.2 billion yuan, up 8.6% year-on-year (population: 4.5 million)
91. Suqian (Jiangsu 12) 230.6 billion yuan, up 9.3% year-on-year (population: 4.85 million)

96. Lanzhou (Gansu 1) 222 billion yuan, up 8.2% year-on-year (population: 4.01 million)
97. Chenzhou (Hunan 6) 217 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 4.69 million)
98. Xinxiang (Henan 6) 213.3 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year (population: 6 million)
99. Tongliao (Inner Mongolia 4) 211.2 billion yuan, up 8% year-on-year (population: 3.13 million)
100. Zunyi (Guizhou 2) 210 billion yuan, up 12% year-on-year (population: 8 million)

Interval analysis: Lianyungang's economic development level is at the bottom of the East China coastal region, so there is great room for improvement. Zunyi, with the development of its red tourism industry, has driven the increase in total economic output. Lanzhou, as an important transportation hub in the Northwest, has developed rapidly in recent years, and its total economic output has remained around the 100th place in the country for many consecutive years.
