As the 14th Five-Year Plan period concludes successfully, the grand blueprint for the 15th Five-Year Plan begins to unfold. At this historical juncture connecting past and future development phases, Baiyin City is concentrating on summarizing past achievements and planning for future growth, with particular emphasis on the inaugural year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
During the past five years, Baiyin has adhered to a development strategy emphasizing industrial strength and innovation, achieving breakthroughs in implementing the national Yellow River strategy. Anchored to its "Three Bases, One Pole" positioning, the city has made solid progress with steadfast efforts. The economic foundation has remained stable and improved, with both scale and efficiency seeing enhancements. The regional GDP has climbed two hundred-billion-yuan thresholds, maintaining an average annual growth rate of 6.7%, consistently outperforming national and provincial averages. Industrial fixed-asset investment and value-added of large-scale industries have sustained high growth, with total industrial output breaking through the one-trillion-yuan mark, achieving new breakthroughs in high-quality development.
The 15th Five-Year Plan period represents a critical window for Baiyin's transformational development. The city will actively integrate into broader provincial initiatives, including the "Five Strengths" action and other key deployments. Focusing on economic development as the central task, Baiyin will drive high-quality development through reform and innovation, working diligently to contribute to both regional and provincial progress.
The year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan period. Baiyin will reinforce its "Three Bases, One Pole" target positioning with persistent effort and practical action, ensuring all tasks are implemented effectively to build a solid foundation for high-quality development during this new phase.
To build a modern industrial agglomeration base, Baiyin will focus on extending and strengthening industrial chains. Leveraging the national advanced manufacturing cluster for non-ferrous metals, the city aims to develop one trillion-yuan non-ferrous metals cluster, two 500-billion-yuan clusters for circular chemicals and comprehensive energy, and five 100-billion-yuan clusters covering battery new materials, biomedicine, agricultural processing, equipment manufacturing, and ceramic building materials. Seizing opportunities from industrial relocation, Baiyin will attract major high-quality projects to advance deep processing of non-ferrous metals, upgrade the circular chemical industry, and achieve breakthroughs in new materials.
In agriculture, Baiyin will create a highland for modern agricultural development along the Yellow River by promoting technology, green practices, quality, and branding. Efforts include advancing high-standard farmland construction, managing saline-alkali and abandoned land, and ensuring grain output remains above one million tons. Applying industrial thinking to agriculture, the city will strengthen specialty breeding bases, enhance processing and cold chain logistics, and develop integrated models combining agriculture with tourism and leisure.
For ecological protection, Baiyin will establish a demonstration zone for Yellow River conservation through systematic governance. Key projects include desertification control, soil conservation, and pollution prevention. The city will promote green transformation by developing forestry economy, green power storage, and carbon trading, exploring paths for ecological value conversion.
As a growth pole within the Lanzhou-Baiyin economic circle, Baiyin will advance integrated development and urban cluster construction. By strengthening industrial coordination, infrastructure connectivity, and shared services, the city will enhance its supportive role and contribution to regional development.
Ultimately, achieving the "Three Bases, One Pole" vision and driving high-quality development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period aims to improve living standards for residents. Baiyin will continue to address practical livelihood issues, integrating development momentum with public welfare, as it advances on the path toward modernization.
