One could say that the Chinese province of Guizhou’s slogan, “Invigorating Guizhou”, is pretty accurate. While many parts of the world are currently experiencing either a heat wave or unpredictable weather, the temperature in Guizhou during this summer is between 18ºC and 25ºC. It is surprisingly cooling and, yes, invigorating!

As such, Guizhou will probably come to mind when people from all over China think of a place to holiday to beat the summer heat. In Guizhou cities and counties such as Zhijin and Zunyi, for instance, the weather is cool yet still warm enough for an excellent retreat. And as if that’s not enough, the country’s tech giants like Lixiang, Tencent and JD.com are moving their big data processing centres to the caves of Guiyang to fend off overheating issues.
