City Overview

Zunyi, in northern Guizhou, is a famous revolutionary-culture city (the Zunyi Conference site, a turning point of the Chinese revolution) and home of the "national liquor" — Moutai, produced in Maotai Town, is globally renowned. Its baijiu industry (the Chishui River sauce-aroma belt) is vast, alongside tourism and agriculture. Cost of living and housing are low; the mountain climate is pleasant with cool summers — the regional center of northern Guizhou.
