The big data industry is widely said to be playing an ever-essential role in boosting the high-quality development of the Wudang district of Guiyang – capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province.

In 2021, the operating income of the internet and related, software and information technology services in Wudang soared to 3.92 billion yuan ($588.15 million), a year-on-year growth rate of 579.55 percent.

During the same period, Wudang added three new enterprises above a designated size – those with annual revenue of 20 million yuan or more – involved in the big data industry.

The business income of the district's software and information technology services last year came in at 4.47 billion yuan, a huge growth rate of 363.86 percent.

In recent years, Wudang has gradually built a strong infrastructure to advance the development of its big data industry.

To date, the entire district has achieved 100 percent coverage of the fiber optical network of its main urban area and of its administrative villages in townships and in administrative villages.

The townships in the district have achieved full mobile network coverage, while the villages with more than 30 households have achieved 100 percent coverage of the 4G network.

Expressways and high-speed railways under the jurisdiction of Wudang have achieved full mobile network coverage.

Moreover, Wudang has built an optical fiber network covering the entire district and a WiFi network covering the administrative centers, the administrative complexes and the libraries – forming the Wudang District Smart City Basic Network and Data Center for data source collection, applications and autonomous control.

Additionally, a high-quality business environment is also said to provide a strong guarantee for the growth of the big data industry in Wudang.

In recent years, Wudang has been committed to transforming its business environment to further cultivate and stimulate the vitality of its business entities.

This has led to fewer administrative approval items, more approval efficiency, a higher-level opening-up situation and a strong sense of corporate gain.
