Ten years with a sword. From 2014 when the gates of guizhou were opened, to 2025 when the high iron was connected to the city of the nine central states of guizhou, the “one- to two-hour high-iron traffic ring” centred on guiyang was fully shaped。
The 1906 km of high iron mileage recreated the qast plateau, and guizhou was redefined when the mountains were no longer high or far。
Take the high iron and step on the flowers
From "ten miles of land" to "time and space compression"
"there is no sky, no sun, no earth." mountains and hills represent more than 92 per cent of the 176,000 square kilometres of land. For centuries, the mountains have been not only a barrier to physical space, but also an invisible psychological barrier。
Once upon a time, for children in remote mountainous areas, going to school in provincial cities was a major event that needed “to resolve and overcome all difficulties”; for those who worked abroad, the return of spring festival was a time-consuming long journey — taking a green train of 10 to 20 hours to guiyang, then taking a bumpy car to cross the mountain, often taking two or three days to get home。
The opening of the high iron is reduced to less than two hours. This is not a simple digital change, but a subversive re-engineering of lifestyles。
Today, in the morning, a bowl of hot lamb powder in the old city can be seen at noon on the viewing table of the everest forest, and at night can go back to the quizhu jae-soo building — a “one-day cross-city” life that is within the reach of your state。
The most direct effect of this space-time compression is the loss of psychological distance. When the “two-hour life circle” is fully integrated between the major cities of the province, guiyang is no longer a distant administrative centre but a living room and place of employment shared by the people of the province。
The first thing to do when the iron is turned on is to take a car to guiyang and kunming. Behind that simple desire is the real sovereignty that embraces far away. This expansion of the accessibility index is changing the mind of the guizhou people: the world is no longer a distant place, but the next destination that can be planned。
Lights, city development and high iron construction
From "margins" to "junctives"
Improved transport not only changes perceptions, but also reshapes regional economic patterns。
For a long time, guizhou, which is not bordered by the sea, has been relatively marginalized in the national economic landscape. Although the “provincial highway” has solved the problem of internal connectivity, it is this high-intensity network that really led guizhou from the “south-west hinterland” to the “open hub”. With guiyang at its centre, guizhou connects the long triangle to the east, to the port of qiu ' a and the northern bay, to the vast south-east asian market to the west, and to the north, to be integrated into the twin economic circles of the chengsu region — the “tang jiang dahai” — from slogan to reality。
Logistics is accelerating. Specialized agricultural products such as pears, pelicans and monkeys, with the help of “high iron express” and cold chain logistics, have achieved “carloading in the early hours of the morning and entering the city at noon” at the most rapid table from the mountains to the people of the bay region。
Funding is gathering. The “channel effect” of regional synergistic development continues to be released. The city of guiyang, which has the advantage of a high iron hub, brings together the large data industry in the south-west, and the comparative advantages of different regions have been magnified and complemented by high iron connections。
Industry is upgrading. With the help of the high iron network, even the efficient business model of “fuyang meeting in the morning, re-convening talks at noon and the kunming expedition” could be achieved. The business development radius expands with the extension of high iron。
Today, the “foundations of guizhou” involved in the construction of the western land and sea new corridor, the twin city economic circles of chengsu region and the grand bay of hong kong are active in various fields。

From "breathing in the deep" to "beauties in the together"
High iron brings not only industrial and human flows, but also cultural collisions and activations。
When guiyang's time to be alive was shortened to two hours, when it took just over four hours from guangzhou to arrive from the river station, tourists from the pearl triangle, tourists from the long triangle, and tourists from kyinzu, it began to pour into your county on an unprecedented scale。
In liping county, south-east of the country, the culture of the tibetan tribe was awakened by high iron. The value of culture has been rediscovered and the landscape at the door has become the most reliable job。
In south-west china, similar scenes are taking place. “singing in eights”, “a sister-in-law”, serves as a window for the deeper integration of tourists from the field。
Two-way movement of culture is taking place. Tourists from outside the country came with curiosity and appreciation to spread your state's national culture further away; locals, in their interaction with outsiders, rediscovered the value and charm of their own culture, which was so confident。

From "crowding the hills" to "go."
The high iron has brought to the people of guizhou a base and a capacity to “leave and leave”。
Once upon a time, for villagers in the depths of the mountains, “outside” was a major event requiring careful preparation, implying uncertainty and risk. Today, when high-level railway stations are at home, when guiyang, chongqing, chengdu and guangzhou become destinations within hours, people's eyes are greatly widened. This vision is not merely an extension of geographic awareness, but a reimagining of the possibilities of life。
Data show that in 2024 there were more than 80 million railways sent by guizhou. In 2025, the railways in guizhou sent a cumulative total of 2,233,000 passengers (1 july-31 august), an increase of 10. 6 per cent over the same period, with a daily average of 360,000. The number of passengers per year at the three railway hubs in guiyang has doubled over the 10-year period. Behind these figures is a new world of living individuals measuring the high iron。
The renaissance is flying on the six-and-a-half
Looking back in the spring of 2026, guizhou's “city-high iron” is undoubtedly a milestone。
The high-terrestrial mile in guizhou will continue to extend to cover more districts and cities, benefiting more people. According to the managing director of guizhou railway investment corporation limited, the next step will be to speed up the construction of the high iron in guizhou, to secure state support for the inclusion of high iron in the “fifty five” programme, such as xinjiang and zhongzhou, and to develop a series of high iron projects to study six volumes of water, ranging from viinen to zhuonghong and xing yi, in order to continuously improve the high iron network and further strengthen the transport base for coordinated regional development。
The path is like a rainbow, the future is coming。
