Results showing that:the comprehensive development level of tourism industry and urbanization of the four cities exhibited upward trend, also the differentiation between cities was significant. In respect of urbanization, the growth rate of Changchun was the highest, while the growth rate of other three cities was generally the same, the comprehensive development level of urbanization of Shenyang and Dalian always ranked at top-two, while the comprehensive strength rank ordering of urbanization of Changchun and Harbin reversed taking 2004 as time node, Changchun surpassed Harbin later on; the coupling coordination level of tourism industry and urbanization of the four cities improved slowly, and coupling development state gradually changed from "imbalance" to "coordination", but coupling coordination grade was generally low. In addition, the inter-city coupling coordination level was imbalance, generally exhibiting the spatial variation of "Dalian> Shenyang> Changchun> Harbin". Moreover, the evolution type of obstruction relation between tourism industry and urbanization of the four cities was mutually different. Finally, this paper proposed countermeasures and suggestions on achieving coordinated and symbiotic development between tourism industry and urbanization of the four cities from the aspects including strengthening the position of tourism industry, exerting the driving effect of tourism industry on urbanization, reasonably promoting urbanization development process, and exerting the regurgitation-feeding effect of urbanization on tourism industry.
