Kunming is actively building six industrial clusters of medicine, medicine, nutrition, health, tourism and food, building a healthy Kunming and fully increasing employment.

Kunming is about to start construction of Metro Line 9, which will be integrated with Qujing, the second largest city in central Yunnan, and an international central city will take shape.

Guiyang has started the construction of Metro Line 3, and the Fifth Ring Road around the city and the express railway around the city will also be built.

Bijie, Liupanshui and Xingyi in Guizhou Province are also very attractive. Many people from Chongqing and other provinces started businesses and settled in Kunming.

Guiyang is also attractive to eight other cities in the province. Especially in the face of Chongqing, a megacity with a population of more than 20 million, which is only a few hundred kilometers away, it is not difficult for Guiyang to attract millions of people from Chongqing if it can play the card of "Yugui Family". In other neighboring places such as Hunan and Guangxi, there are fewer residents buying houses in Guiyang.
