Guizhou Province, commonly known as Qian, has historically been encapsulated by four words—"survival of the fittest"!
With its many mountains and waterfalls, perennial rainy weather, and unique karst topography, arable land is scarce, and transportation is poor.
The saying, "No three days of clear sky, no three feet of flat land, no one with three ounces of silver," aptly describes Guizhou, where the legend of "Yelang's Arrogance" originated.
All things considered, the most famous thing about this relatively obscure Guizhou is "Moutai," which alone contributes nearly one-seventh of the province's fiscal revenue.
However, with the changes in the era and technology, and under the national policy favoring the central and western regions, Guizhou began what could only be described as a miraculous comeback...
Where there are mountains, build bridges; Guizhou alone has nearly half of the world's top 100 tallest bridges.
