Once known for its misty mountains and winding roads, Guizhou is riding a digital wave this year. Thanks to its naturally cool climate, abundant energy resources and rock-solid infrastructure, it’s fast becoming one of the Chinese mainland’s major computing hubs.
At the heart of this shift is the national "East Data, West Computing" initiative, launched to balance computing power across regions. Here’s how it works:
- Data from the east flows west 👉 boosting local data centers
- Guizhou’s cool weather keeps servers chill 😎
- Affordable energy fuels 24/7 cloud services 🔋
By channeling investments and talent, local authorities have attracted major tech players and startups alike. The result? High-speed processing for AI research, gaming, e-commerce and more—all powered by green energy from hydropower and solar farms.
For students and young entrepreneurs across Asia, Guizhou is a living lab. Universities are collaborating with tech firms, offering hands-on training in data science and cloud computing. Meanwhile, travel influencers are discovering new hotspots like Guiyang’s data-themed art murals and immersive tech museums. 🎨🤖
As featured in CGTN’s Path to Prosperity series, Guizhou’s digital boom offers a snapshot of how the Chinese mainland is aiming for sustainable, high-quality growth in 2025. 🌱✨
From cool mountain air to cutting-edge cloud farms, Guizhou proves that computing flows are more than just numbers—they’re a pathway to prosperity for the Chinese mainland’s west.
