Improved highways boost development in Guizhou

GUIYANG — Every morning at 6:50 am, 47-year-old driver Yang Changkai sets off in his truck loaded with parcels from an express logistics hub located 15 kilometers from downtown Guiyang, Guizhou province.

He drives to the logistics center in Guanling Bouyei and Miao autonomous county, ensuring the parcels arrive by 9:40 am for same-day delivery to rural buyers.

Yang's route, once a challenging journey through winding mountain roads, is now much quicker thanks to new highways and construction of the Baling River Bridge. These developments have significantly reduced travel time and transportation costs.
