A modern posts and telecommunications network has been set up with the most advanced telecommunications equipment and technology in Guiyang, a provincial and also Southwest China's telecommunications hub.
The city has access to all parts of China and more than 130 countries and regions in the world by postal communications.
Besides traditional domestic and international postal services, other services by municipal post departments include international mail, express delivery, electronic mail, international remittance, business letters and postal savings.
The automatic letter sorters, recently introduced from Germany, will be operational at the end of the year.
The city can also contact 700 Chinese counties and more than 180 countries and regions by programme-controlled telephone service.
By the end of 1996, more than 300,000 telephones had been installed in the city. Telecommunications agencies in major hotels and public telephones installed in public places such as main streets, department stores, railway and bus stations, and airports also provide convenient services.
So far, analogue and digital mobile phone networks and radio paging systems, which are connected with the national roaming network, work smoothly.
Advanced telecommunications means, like optic-fibre transmission, digital telecommunication, the Internet and facsimile transmission, are also used. |
