Chinese automaker giant Geely held an open day on July 24 at its production plant in the Guanshanhu district of Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, marking the first such event held at the facility.

More than 150 residents streamed into the Geely Guiyang Manufacturing Plant, to get an insight into the company's intelligent manufacturing system and high-tech achievements.

Company representatives gave talks on Geely's overall development, equipment and technical highlights, after which the participants visited the workshops.

Visitors said it was exciting to visit the plant and to witness things through their children's eyes.

One visitor said the assembly workshop, in particular, showcased the rapid development of the Guanshanhu economy.

According to the organizers, the open day aimed to show the integrated development of intelligent manufacturing, as well as the informatization and industrialization of industry in Guanshanhu.

They said in future years the event would be staged from July to August, so more people could get to know Geely and the strength of the Chinese brand.
