With the deep integration of modern technologies such as 5G, big data, and the Internet of Things, rural areas in Guizhou province are becoming increasingly smart and fashionable.

Over the past decade, Guizhou has continuously delved into the digital economy, laying a solid foundation for the rise of "digital villages." From industrial development to rural governance, "digital villages" illuminate the colorful future of Guizhou and showcase the new model of rural revitalization in China.

Rural goes digital

Surrounded by green water and leafy mountains, groups of black chickens peck at their food at a breeding base in the Shuangyan Community, Zhuchang town, Bijie city.

Different from ordinary chicken farms, this smart ecological breeding base adopts such technologies as the Internet of Things, blockchain, and big data.

"We can quickly understand the temperature and humidity data of the breeding base to ensure that every black chicken has favorable growth conditions," said Peng Fen, head of the breeding base.

By simply opening the smart breeding system on their phones, villagers can easily grasp the real-time situation of the entire breeding base. "During busy times, we can feed the chickens remotely using our phones and scan the QR codes on their leg rings to see the quality data of each chicken," said Peng.

Established in 2020, the intelligent chicken breeding base now has a production value of 5.5 million RMB, becoming one of the pillar industries in the area.

A beautiful rural scene with 5G

"Tourists, please take care and mind the protective barrier." In Huawu Village, Xinren Miao township, Qianxi city, village officials sit in their office and use a monitoring screen to remotely communicate with visitors.

Huawu Village, located deep in the mountains, is surrounded by water on three sides. The unique Miao ethnic customs and the picturesque landscapes combine to create a uniquely beautiful environment.

The influx of tourists to enjoy the surroundings has posed a challenge to providing efficient and convenient services and management. Thanks to the support of emerging technologies such as 5G and big data, the village has embarked on a path towards intelligent management.

"We have built a 5G + Smart Rural Management Platform, which utilizes modern information technology to integrate rural resources, thereby improving the local government's service levels and management efficiency," said Tian Jiaqiu, chief of the Xinren Miao township. Through the "digital village map," the platform visually presents data related to production, government affairs, and services in Huawu Village.

For the villagers, life has become more convenient since the introduction of the platform. Now, they can complete various government affairs, such as applying for necessary documentation, via this platform.

As for tourists, they can receive real-time information on visitor flow analysis, early warnings and other updates. Through 5G+ VR live streaming, they can immerse themselves in the beautiful scenery of Huawu Village.

In addition, livestreaming e-commerce has boosted the sales of local products like yellow rice cakes, yellow ginger and Miao embroidery, increasing the income of local villagers.
