Liupanshui, Administrative division and city in western Guizhou, China.

Liupanshui is an administrative division in western Guizhou situated at over 1,800 meters elevation. The area spans thousands of square kilometers and is home to several million people.

The place was established in 1978 by combining three districts: Liuzhi, Panxian, and Shuicheng. Before that, the area was shaped by various local kingdoms and tribal confederations over centuries.

Several ethnic groups live here, including Yi, Miao, and Buyi communities. These people celebrate local festivals and perform folk songs that shape the everyday character of the region.

The region is well-connected by three major railway lines and has an airport for air travel. Visitors should be aware of the high elevation, as this can affect how your body feels during a stay.

The region is known for unusually cool summers, especially when compared to neighboring areas. This climate feature has earned the place the nickname China's Cool Capital.
