Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, ranked 43rd on the China Top 100 Cities List that was recently released by Warton Economic Institute, while Zunyi ranked 89th.

The list selects China's top 100 cities in GDP and ranks them based on economic indicators including GDP, residents' savings and financial income, as well as soft economic indicators including environment, science and education, culture, and health.

In recent years, Guiyang has seen rapid growth in its business environment, transportation development, big data industry, talent attraction, and tourism resources development.

In 2018, Guiyang's economic growth rate ranked first for the sixth consecutive year among China's provincial capitals.

With the construction of key infrastructure, such as high speed railways, intercity railways, subways, airports, and expressways, Guiyang has been connected with China's main economic zones, bolstering its significance as a comprehensive hub of national railways.

Over 200 famous enterprises, including Apple, Qualcomm, Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, Tencent, Jingdong, and Foxconn, have seen the potential of Guiyang's big data industry and invested about 240 billion yuan ($33.65 billion) in the city.

Guiyang's preferential policies not only provide convenience for household registration, but also supports setting up businesses, which has attracted high-end talents and investors to seek business opportunities in the city.
