Digital drivers revitalize rural economy in Guiyang

The Cyberspace Administration of China recently announced that Guanshanhu district of Guiyang has been recognized.

It's one of the administration's second batch of national digital village pilot areas, marking a significant step in integrating digital technology with rural cultural development. 

Guiyang's selection as the sole representative from Guizhou province is widely said to have underscored its potential to leverage big data resources for rural revitalization.

Digital technologies like IoT, cloud computing and AI are seen as reshaping agriculture and rural life, accelerating development and bolstering cultural preservation.

Guiyang, with its rich cultural diversity and robust tech infrastructure, is deemed to be well-suited for the initiative.

Villages like Wanggang with Bouyei ethnic Fengxiang dyeing, Zhenshan with unique stone slab houses and Gaozhai Miao culture in Yanghui village are all rated as cultural treasures that are viewed as being ripe for digital revitalization. 

Guiyang's focus on digital integration aims to showcase and rejuvenate rural culture, fostering tourism and economic growth.

By using digital tools to digitize and promote cultural resources, it's felt that Guiyang is poised to breathe new life into its heritage, making it accessible and engaging for all. 

The initiative is in line with Guiyang's broader strategy of marrying tradition with technology – creating a dynamic environment for cultural and economic prosperity in rural areas.
