Sunshine City

　　Weining features a geographical environment characterized by low latitude, high altitude, and plateau landform, making its light energy resources the most abundant in Guizhou. The county seat has an average annual sunshine duration of 1,812 hours, and was officially named “Sunshine City” by the Provincial Meteorological Society in early 2008. However, abundant light energy does not mean intense heat—thanks to its location atop the Wumeng Mountains and relatively high forest coverage, the area enjoys both year-round sunshine and cool breezes. This creates livable conditions with warm winters and cool summers (summer temperatures rarely exceed 28°C, and winter lows stay above -4°C; the annual average temperature ranges between 10–12°C), making it an ideal destination for summer retreats and winter escapes.
