The program team explained: "Guiyang has its own characteristics as a 'city' where people gather and disperse. In addition to its geographical location, many large crowds have flowed in history, creating this five-party mixed place - from the earliest exchanges with the surrounding ethnic minorities , to the construction of the third line of Tunpu, to the current return of talents, and the more frequent and harmonious exchanges with the outside world, Guiyang’s inclusiveness has increasingly shown its vitality.”
