Pianpo Bouyei township in Wudang district in Guiyang, capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province, has set an example in boosting rural revitalization and poverty alleviation by developing all-for-one tourism.

Pianpo is 30 kilometers from the urban area of Guiyang and has a population of around 2,000, 97 percent of which is Bouyei people.

In the past, young people there had to leave home and serve as migrant workers to make a living due to the township's backward economic conditions, insufficient infrastructure, and dirty environment.
