Daqing (Simplified Chinese: 大庆; Traditional Chinese: 大慶; pinyin: Dàqìng) (pronounced Da Tshing) is a city in northeast China in the Heilongjiang province. The name means "Great Celebration". It was founded in 1959 to house workers extracting oil and gas from the Daqing oilfield and to host industries which could take advantage of the energy and petrochemicals. Since its foundation it has been advocated as a model of good practice in industry and healthcare by the Chinese government. The fact that Mao Zedong promulgated his Supreme Directive, In industry, learn from Daqing, in 1960s showed how important a role Daqing has played in industry in China. The film, Entrepreneurial Pioneers (Chinese: 创业) made in early 1970s is a literary rendition of the history of Daqing. Its agricultural counterpart is Dazhai, a village in the hilly Xiyang county, Shanxi Province, for which Mao Zedong issued the directive In agriculture, learn from Dazhai, also in 1960s. Administrative divisions: Daqing is divided into 9 county-level divisions: 5 districts, 3 counties and 1 autonomous county. Districts: Saertu District (萨尔图区) Honggang District (红岗区) Longfeng District (龙凤区) Xincun District Ranghulu District (让胡路区) Datong District (大同区) Counties: Lindian County (林甸县) Zhaozhou County (肇州县) Zhaoyuan County (肇源县) Autonomous County: Duerbote Mongolian Autonomous County(杜尔伯特蒙古族自治县) Demographics: Daqing has a population of 2.58 million, urban population 1.184 million, of them mainly Han Chinese, with a few population of other 31 minority ethnic groups including Manchu, Mongolian, Korean, and Hui nationalities. The population density is 112.69/km², urban population density 205.07/km². Economy: Daqing's economy highly depends on Petroleum and related industies. Daqing oilfield is China's largest oilfield and world's fourth largest productive oil field so far. Petroleum accounts for 61.9% of GDP. 2004 Gross Domestic Product is RMB123.95 Bil, with its small population, making it GDP Per capita it is RMB89,962.56(US$10,891), ranked No.2 in China's main cities. Located in the Heilongjiang Province in the north east of China, the City of Daqing was established in December 1979. It has five districts and four counties under its jurisdiction and covers an area of 21,000 square kilometers with a population of 2.578 million. Daqing urban area is 5,107 square kilometers and its residents total 1.381 million. Daqing was once a wilderness, but in 1958 large scale oil exploration activity was undertaken in the Songliao Basin. On 26th September 1959, No. 3 Songji Exploration well near Datong flowed oil of commercial value. As it was shortly before the 10th Anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the oil field was named Daqing Oilfield? literally meaning Great Celebration? Daqing Oil Field has since been the mainstay in China's energy industry. Before the discovery of the oil field, there used to be a severe oil shortage in China, and 90% of its demand was met through imports. Put into operation in March of 1960, it has become the largest oil production base in China. In 1976, its annual oil production reached a peak ?50 million metric tons, which has been maintained for 25 years running, making up 47% of the total onshore oil output of China during the same period. Daqing is also an important base for the petrochemical industry in China, with 70 large and small-sized petrochemical enterprises. The annual processing capacity of crude oil in Daqing is 15.3 million metric tons and the annual production capacity of Daqing Petrochemical Company is 480,000 tons of ethylene and 60 kinds of products from the sectors of refinery, chemical fertilizer, chemicals and chemical fibres.

Daqing is now diversifying its energy-oriented economy. The development of a substitute industry is based on the high-tech sector, but other industries, such as deep processing of petrochemical products, processing of agriculture by-products, electronics and information, building and building materials, medicine, tourism and service are also being rapidly developed. In Daqing, there are more than 1,500 enterprises in non-oil sectors turning out more than 2,700 kinds of products. Daqing a vital, modern city, emerging from a heroic past, is a city with a brilliant future. Located at the western part of the Son, neng Plain, Daqing is famous for its abundant oil resources and petro-chemical products. It boasts a variety of tourist attractions, 'Lich as bird-watchine, summer resort and horse race on the Durbud Grasslands. About two hours' bus journey (£¤35) west of Harbin via a brand new road, National Highway 301 (also known as the "HaDa Expressway"), sprawls the boom-town of DAQING , home of China's largest oil reserve and now Heilongjiang's second city. Daqing is a nice place in which to spend a day and is certainly unique in China. It's interesting in a quirky way, with road names such as "Calgary Street" and oil pumps, called ketouji (literally, "kowtowing machines"), everywhere. China's oil wells are owned by the government, but Western companies have a stake here as vendors of drilling equipment, and so foreigners aren't that rare a sight. The town has an older western half and the new, gleaming eastern portion, with a billboard of Deng Xiaoping gracing the entrance to the government offices. Buses #23 and #30 go from the train station to the new section of town, where the Daqing Hotel lives up to the boom-town image of overpriced rooms, liquor and prostitutes. There's no skyline in Daqing, save for some cooling towers, but folks are friendly and the connections on to Qiqihar and Harbin are constant; trains are many and buses leave every fifteen minutes from outside the train station. |
