In the south - west of China, there is a city called Guiyang. It was once a quiet place. But now, it has a new name: China's “Big Data Valley”. Big data means using a lot of computer information to help with work.
This big change started about ten years ago. Why did Guiyang become the choice? Because the weather here is cool, which helps keep big computers from overheating. Also, the land is very solid and good for building. Therefore, many big companies have built their data centres here.
