Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, has been using city inspections to enhance urban planning, construction, and governance. Since 2020, it has actively participated in national city inspection efforts, using scientific data analysis to evaluate infrastructure, public services, and environmental conditions.

In 2024, Guiyang introduced a unique "61+5" inspection indicator system, adding five local indicators focusing on digital economy development, sponge city construction, public transportation, fire safety, and cultural tourism. This comprehensive system addresses critical urban issues, such as traffic congestion, public service shortages, and water management, ensuring tailored solutions are implemented.

Guiyang's approach emphasizes "inspection before renewal". Problems identified through inspections, such as community infrastructure gaps or environmental challenges, are addressed with targeted measures like public service upgrades, road decongestion plans, and water body restoration projects. City officials have already introduced these tailored strategies to ease traffic congestion and improve water quality in key areas.

By integrating city inspections into its urban planning strategy, Guiyang is positioning itself as a more livable, resilient, and intelligent city, improving its residents' quality of life and laying a solid foundation for sustainable urban development.
