Guiyang: On October 13th, 2025, The Report of Urban Comprehensive Development Index (2025) was officially released. Guiyang ranked the first in the list of "Beautiful Cities" with a score of 96.39 and also ranked among the top ten most "Livable Cities" in China. Behind this performance, it lies the continuous empowerment of Guiyang's IP "Cool Guiyang," as well as the strong driving force of cultural and tourism integration for the high-quality urban development.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Guiyang Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism noted that in recent years, Guiyang has leveraged culture and tourism as a connecting link to promote coordinated growth across multiple districts. The old areas have strengthened their foundation with their historical context, while the new ones have expanded their dimensions with modern vitality. As the "dual-core" of cultural and tourism development, the old and new urban districts are collaborating to envision a new outline for innovative industries, enhanced experiences, and elevated brand quality.
