Ask any Chinese person about #Guizhou Province, and they are bound to mention an old saying: "The land is not flat and the people have no silver."
Nestled in the craggy peaks of southwest China, upstream of the Yangtze River, Guizhou is predominantly a mountainous region, once plagued by barren fields and empty stomachs.
Today's Guizhou, however, has become a leader in both environmental protection and economic growth. So, how exactly does green become gold?
In this 27-minute #documentary, Xinhua's ‪@miaoxiaojuan‬ and Simon Robinson traveled across the province to the village, town and city level to find out how Guizhou has overcome the odds and achieved real green development.
