First of all, I want to tell you that this is not a night light map. Many netizens will think that this is a city night light map, which looks a bit like it. In fact, this is a big data nebula map of Tencent's location, which is simply the positioning times of Tencent map. In order to let everyone see it intuitively, this light map model is adopted. The brighter the place, the more positioning times, the denser the population, that is, the bigger the city. If the brightness is connected, it means that there is an urban agglomeration here. This article will show you the distribution of urban agglomerations in China from this angle.

Judging from this national map, the population distribution in China is very different. Judging from Harbin, Beijing, Lanzhou, Chengdu and Kunming, the areas east of these five cities are densely populated and cities are concentrated. It seems that the brightness is connected into a large area, while the brightness in the west is sparse. There are large areas of darkness in Tibet, Qinghai and Xinjiang. This is the general distribution model. Let's take a look at megacities that are particularly eye-catching and urban agglomerations that are particularly obvious in different regions.

Harbin, Changchun and Shenyang are the brightest cities in Northeast China. The closer they are, the brighter they are. Daqing and Qiqihar in Heilongjiang are also very beautiful. There are three bright spots in the northeast of Harbin, and Hegang is in the middle. This small town is known because Zhejiang crew member Li Hai (pseudonym) bought a house in Hegang for 50,000 yuan. The other two highlights are Yichun, a forest area, and the other is like a lamp in a big forest.

Except Changchun in Jilin Province, Jilin City is relatively bright, and because of the influence of topography, the west is plain and the east is Changbai Mountain, so the west of Jilin is relatively bright.

The brightness in Liaoning province is relatively uniform, but not so bright in Dalian, so the coastline looks very obvious. The whole northeast urban agglomeration is mainly Dalian, Shenyang, Changchun, Jilin, Harbin, Daqing and Qiqihar. This area is very large, and the brightness can be clearly seen in Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan, Zhengzhou, Xi 'an, Lanzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, Wuhan, Hohhot and Baotou. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, Shandong Peninsula urban agglomeration, Hu Bao-Hubei urban agglomeration, Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration, Central Plains urban agglomeration, Wuhan urban agglomeration and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration are all obvious. There are many bright places in this area, but the unlit places are obvious, such as the desert between Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, the Qinling Mountains in the south of Xi 'an, Taihu Lake in Jiangsu, Hongze Lake, gaoyou lake and Shennongjia in Hubei. Finally, I would like to remind you that this is not a light map at night, but a nebula map in the era of Tencent's big data positioning, which is the distribution map of netizens using Tencent maps. The brighter the place, the more people there are. From this perspective, we can also see the distribution of urban agglomerations in China. I hope to let everyone know about our urban development in this way.
