乌海因煤而兴。乌海的开发建设同中国西部大多数工矿区城市一样 ,遵循“先生产、后生活”的原则。在为国家作出巨大贡献的同时 ,乌海这座靠煤炭起家、由矿变市的城市 ,自身发展却十分缓慢。曾几何时 ,这里没有一条像样的马路 ,没有一座像样的宾馆 ,用的是手摇电话 ,市容市貌寒 Wuhai is thriving with coal. The development and construction of Wuhai is the same as in most industrial and mining areas in western China. It follows the principle of “production first and then living”. While making great contributions to the country, Wuhai, a city that started with coal and changed from mining to city, has developed very slowly. Once upon a time, there was not a decent road, a decent hotel, hand-operated telephones, and a cityscape.
