“Nearly a decade on from its humiliation, Linfen is even trying to reinvent itself as a green city. Yang claimed solar energy had been introduced in hotels, guesthouses and “many households”—including his own. Small wind farms are planned for Linfen’s Puxian and Guxian counties. Some former factory owners have even branched out into “green landscaping.” Last year a seven-mile-long park opened on the banks of the River Fen, which flows through Linfen.”
“A good illustration of this difference can be found by pulling statistics from a single prefecture level city and compare the gross domestic production per capita for two of the prefecture’s counties; in the publication 2010 Línfén tǒngjì niánjiàn (2010 临汾统计年鉴) the GDP per capita in Yonghe County is 5,632 RMB in 2009 while the GDP per capita in Gu County amounts to 47,933 RMB the same year. The two counties are only 188km apart, and yet the citizens under Gu County’s administration enjoy an income approximately 8.5 times higher than those under Yonghe County’s. One of the reasons for Gu County’s relative well developed economy may be its location approximately 51km from Linfen City, while the distance from Linfen City to Yonghe County roughly amounts to 165 km.”
