GUIYANG, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- The number of visitors to a big data exhibition center in southwest China has exceeded 200,000, authorities said.

The national big data comprehensive pilot area exhibition center in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou Province, opened to the public in 2014.

"The number means that the big data development in Guizhou is quite attractive," said Xiao Geng, an instructor at the center. "In the future, I hope to introduce big data development to even more people."

The exhibition center was moved to a new venue in May this year. The upgraded center has an area of 7,080 square meters, and offers five exhibition areas that feature 5G technology and augmented reality.
