China's Poorest Province Guizhou | Guiyang | 中国最穷的省份 | 贵州 | 贵阳​

Guizhou is one of China's most impoverished provinces. The province lies deep in the mountains in the southwest and is one of the few in the country that lack flat arable land. For decades, if not centuries, the region has been known for its ragged terrain, rainy weather, and impoverished residents.

Guizhou is a mountainous province, with its higher altitudes in the west and centre. It lies at the eastern end of the Yungui Plateau. Demographically, it is one of China's most diverse provinces. Minority groups account for more than 37% of the population, including sizable populations of the Miao, Bouyei, Dong, Tujia and Yi peoples, all of whom speak languages distinct from Chinese.

It was during the following Ming dynasty, which was once again led by Han Chinese, that Guizhou was formally made a province in 1413. The Ming established many garrisons in Guizhou from which to pacify the Yao and Miao minorities during the Miao Rebellions.

Geographical factors make Guizhou the poorest province in China.

This is Chinese poverty: only poor in cash, not infrastructure or dignity. Not like some certain countries where being a little bit poor is life threatening.

I feel like some of these roads are over-engineered and could have been built with cheaper solutions.

Hi, a question, not criticism more curiosity. Honestly hats off to you it looks really beautiful. I wish Bangladesh could be developed with sort of way, but to it own strength and geographic-economic- geology.

So that busy intersection with load of fly over must be a maintenance nightmare?

As the infrastructure ages - so does the maintenance cost.

Can someone pls explain the maintenance cost for every Mike deck of bridge and fly over pls.

In the west some things are literally crumbling away.
