One back street called Xihu alley, near Guiyang city's landmark Jiaxiu Pavilion, is a prime example of Nanming's efforts.

It's been paved with asphalt, decorated with themed paintings and street seats and parking lots have been installed, turning around the previously neglected area and benefiting residents.
