On 10 November 2011, Bijie Prefecture (毕节地区) was converted to a prefecture-level city, and the former Bijie City was rechristened Qixingguan District.[2] Government officials hope that Qixingguan will become a distribution centre for all of southwest China and a base for new industries and tourism.[2]
