What's new

China's poorest province: Guizhou is on the rapid rise

Incredible transformation. A secular political culture is leading the most dramatic human development the world has witnessed to date.

No wonder China generates hostility and jealousy in some circles. According to the Western playbook that assigned to developing countries, this transformation should not have happened.

I will definitely visit this province and contribute the local economy.

I can tell from the pictures that it's karst landscape - which although difficult makes for dramatic scenery. I cannot think of a greater quest and nobler thing than raising entire populations from poverty to development. I gives me hope for my country of orgin. It hurts me deeply when I see my people living in poverty and chaos. I don't give a rats a*ss about religion, ism, this ism, other ism. The greatest service you can do to human being is to address his wants. And China has done this spectacularly. I don't we have seen so much done in such less time than any other time in history. In this sense CCP has presided over the greatest human good done in human history.

Now I only can hope that this can be brought to Pakistan via CPEC. Seeing the change in China makes me believe anything is possible.
You are right, there is immense hope!
If such bridge can be built then everything can be done!

Visited twice so far, really amazing development which I have to attest on my own.
Now got so many high-speed railways to the province, more reasons to visit!

Countryside Mainland appears more and more attractive, often times more attractive than traditional coastline heavyweights.

These cities/towns need a region-wide promotion from Japan to Cambodia and Indonesia to capture the upcoming travel boom that will repeat China's current outbound travel boom.

SEA will generate huge outbound tourism and these Mainland inland cities better get prepared for it and lay the groundwork. There is no reason why Vietnam or Indonesia would not repeat a China so long as they stick to secular governance.

Mainland needs to get prepared for it and capture as many outbound regional tourism as possible.

China's Guizhou province promotes tourism in Indonesia

JAKARTA, June 20 (Xinhua) -- China's Guizhou province conducted a tourism promotion event here on Tuesday, seeking to grab more visitors from Indonesia to visit the southwestern mountainous province.

Taking a venue in a lavish hotel here, the event was featured with Guizhou traditional dance performances and video display on best destinations in the province.

Besides promoting destinations in the Chinese province to potential Indonesian visitors, the event was also aimed at further promoting China-Indonesia cooperation in tourism sector, Secretary General of the Government of Guizhou province Ren Xiangsheng said.

"The number of visitors from Indonesia to Guizhou province has grown 21.1 percent to around 12,800 last year. We received around 1 million foreign visitors last year," Ren said in his remarks in the event entitled 2017 China Guizhou Global Promotion.

As part of efforts to expand arrivals of visitors from Indonesia to Guizhou, he said that direct flights serving the province's capital of Guiyang to Indonesia's Bali and Bintan have been planned.

He added that the promotion event were held at the right moment as 2017 has been set as year of China-ASEAN tourism cooperation.

"China and ASEAN have different tour destination resources that we can complement to each other," he said.

Ren said Guizhou offers enormously beautiful natural sceneries featured with mountains, pristine landmark forest, lakes, canyons, waterfalls, caves and hot springs.

Efforts to expand hot spring attraction were now carried out by the provincial government with new hot spring sites increasingly found in the province's counties, he added.

The province hosts large numbers of China's diverse ethnic groups with each of them having their own culture and traditions, potential sources for the nation's tourism sector.

Director for Asia Pacific Tourism at Indonesian tourism ministry Vincentius Jemadu greatly welcomed the event, saying that it would further expand people-to-people contact between Indonesia and China and expand tourism sector of both nations.

"We hope travel agents from Guizhou and Indonesia would team up together to further promote and boost arrivals of visitors in the respective areas," he said.

Really great news. I value regional tourism more than international tourism because the greater regional tourism is, the greater socio-cultural connections are. This solidifies the region against potential external interference and influence.
