Guiyang furthers its development of tourism

In recent years, the city of Guiyang – capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province – has been developing its new tourism products, new formats and new models that meet market demand and consumption upgrades.

The aim for Guiyang is to become a leading tourism city featuring ecology and to promote its tourism brand of being a "Cool Guiyang".

As a new landmark retail hot spot in the renovation and upgrading of Qingyun Pedestrian Street in Nanming district, Qingyun Market not only has special food, but also integrates new formats and experiences such as cultural experiences, art and leisure, as well as shopping.

Relying on the Nanming River and the connecting Jiaxiu Pavilion and Qingyun Road, the Qingyun Market there has developed a nighttime economy with innovative and appealing brands.

As the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Guiyang, the Qingyan Ancient Town in Huaxi district has a history of more than 600 years. On its way to developing lucrative commerce, it has continued to evolve in modern times.

As part of the innovations, it launched a night tour project featuring the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) this year, which is proving to be a hit with tourists.

Overall, Guiyang has been focusing on the need to upgrade and industrially transform – as well as upgrade the standard of living of its residents – and has improved the development levels of its modern services industry.

The Lavant Center in Guanshanhu district is the first immersive shopping center integrating culture, business and tourism in Southwest China and is proving to be a true portrayal of the district's integrated development.

Currently, Guanshanhu has formed six business circles, with a commercial area of 1.26 million square meters.

Moving forwards, Guiyang will continue to accelerate its tourism industrialization and promote the high-quality development of its modern services industry.
