An American viewer here! Enjoyed your walks in this city! Read some of the comments. I'm in my 70s and have never been to China although my parents were originally from southern China. I don't think I would have the opportunity to visit the old country so your the closest connection. Thanks again for the tour!!!

OMG. Thanks for your video. I live in Chicago. This place is as prosperous as, if not better than, Chicago which is the 3rd largest city in the U.S.. In most American's mind, Guiyang is no better than any of the sub Sahara villages. OMG. You got to be kidding me. Your Video worth a million dollars.

Oh my God! I cannot believe this is Guiyang!, I was there 20 years ago, back then Guiyang looked like a big rural town, now looks like a modern metropolitan city!

My home town in Britian is lockdown for the third time, look at China now just so normal, never been to China as a Chinese what a shame, I am considering moving to China

[王际洲]

I can't believe that this is Guiyang! I was told that Guiyang is the poorest capital cities of all the provinces!

[smithgael]

Damn the way China is growing. I cant imagine how developed they will be 10/20 years from now if they keep moving at this rate. Impressive.

The best thing of China is everyone just the same, no royal family, no different levels, yes their are rich people they still the same as farms, only have more money, even Xi, he just the man in charge, he is no different than any of US, I love what he said "Community of shared future for mankind"

Never thought Guiyang is so
IMPRESSIVE! Nice central park and good looking buildings around the huge park. Again thanks for the virtual tour.

The tiers are just in terms of size of overall economy. Some 2nd tiers are nicer than 1st tiers in terms of quality of living.

Watching your video makes me homesick...I left Guiyang when I was in my teens, miss the food there

Guiyang is magnificent. The Venetian theme mall is straight out of the Las Vegas casino. I love it! You are so lucky being in China when the rest of the world is reeling from the Covid's second wave. We are being locked down again in some parts of Canada.

Wah, I didn't expect that, the city's development plan is very well planned and designed. Thank you for sharing 😊! Have a restful weekend!

impressive - 印象深刻
spectacular - 壯觀

The city name "貴陽“ （Gui Yang) should not be a straight-up translation of "Expensive Sun" :) "陽“ （Yang) here is closer to its use in Yin/Yang - and when used in geography, it stands for "south of a mountain" or "north of a river". In this case, there is a hill north of the city, which is named - yes you guessed it, 貴山 (Gui Mountain), and thus, "the City South of Gui Mountain), or, 貴陽。

Lastly, I Googled a bit and learned that, the "royal mansion" is 花果園藝術中心（Garden Art Center). But practically, it is the headquarters of the real estate development company, Heng Li Group, who developed that area.

The word Yang (阳) orignates from the convention of naming a city by its orientation, in relaton to a mountain or a river. Since Guiyang is on the south side of Gui Mountain (贵山), that's how it got its name, because the south side of a mountain receives more sunlight. Another explanation says that the word Gui (贵) means 'precious', as the sunlight is rare throughout the year there.

It's amazing how many useless facts this guy knows.

[productguru]

Tell you what, nearly nobody in China know how Guiyang looks like until they see your video!

Two takeaways: the five-layered burger and the absence of the RONA.
