"Three years ago, my partner and I ventured across 80 percent of China's provinces in our RV. It was in January 2021 that we first set foot in Xingyi, a visit that spanned nine days," says Wei Chen, a social media influencer.
The couple discovered they had numerous connections to Xingyi, a medium-sized city in southwestern China's Guizhou province. A second visit the following year confirmed their love for the area. They made a life-changing decision to sell their house in Xi'an, the capital city of Shaanxi province, and start anew in Xingyi.
For the couple, Xingyi's exceptional accessibility stands out among its many allurements. Situated at the pivotal meeting point of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces, Xingyi has long been a bustling nexus of commerce and a crucial corridor in the tri-provincial region. With high-speed rail on the horizon and a fully serviced airport, the city is remarkably accessible.
They further highlighted the city's climate advantages, noting, "The weather here is mild, avoiding the harsh cold of winter and the extreme heat of summer. In January, daytime temperatures can reach up to 20 degrees Celsius."
