Following the collaboration in 2019 between Guiyang and the High School affiliated to Minzu University of China to establish a school in Wudang, this latest partnership aims to address the urgent need for quality education of near residents by opening a public primary school.

The campus will cover an area of 113.48 mu (7.57 hectares) and is expected to offer 36 classes for primary school and 36 classes for secondary school. It is expected to be completed and put into use in 2024.

The school, serving as a nine-year consistent public school, will be located in the southwest and northwest of Qing'an Avenue and Min'an Road in the Guiyang Big Data Sci-tech Innovation City.

On Oct 19, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Huaxi campus of the Guiyang Model School was held in Qingyan town, Huaxi district. The campus will cover an area of over 300 mu with a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan.

It will include teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, libraries, music and art buildings, administrative buildings, sports fields, student dormitories, teacher apartments, training facilities for teachers, dining halls, and more.
