The Ring road of Guiyang was implemented and constructed in1927, which drew the scale of Guiyang city and its basic interior space structure. The city was treated as a ruling center in southwest by the Center Government from Yuan Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, so that the military and political function of this city had become prominent while the city economic grew slowly. Because of the distance between Guiyang and the center government, the city's development embodied the obvious feature of starting late, starting at the low point, and the developing speed was quite slow.The city acquired a new chance and depart from the traditional modern city since1937for the Center government had planned strategic area in southwest provinces. After the Chinese government established its capital in Chongqing City, Guiyang had become an increasingly important city in China and become the "national revive base" barrier of the new capital in south. The traffic environment had also improved when schools, universities, agencies and government offices had been built in the city during the war, which increasingly played an improved role in Guizhou province while the policy of the local government and citizen's participation had become the internal power force. Under the precondition of preserve social stability in Guizhou, for serving the war, Wu Dingchang, the dominant of Guizhou at that time, had established Guiyang government and Guizhou enterprise system during his ruling of Guizhou province. He promoted the reformation of city management system and economic structure adjustment.
