Bijie ({{lang-zh|s=毕节|t=畢節|p=Bìjíe}}) is a prefecture-level city in northwestern Guizhou Province, China, bordering Sichuan to the north and Yunnan to the west.

The Daotianhe Reservoir, located to the north of the town was commissioned in 1965 with a rated annual capacity of 6.5 million cubic meters.

On 10 November 2011, the former Bijie Prefecture ({{lang|zh-hans|毕节地区}}) was converted to a prefecture-level city, and the former county-level city of Bijie was rechristened Qixingguan District.{{cite web |url = http://cpc.people.com.cn/GB/64093/64387/16226005.html |script-title = zh:国务院批准毕节撤地设市 |language = zh-hans |date = 12 November 2011 |access-date = 2011-11-23 |archive-date = 3 March 2016 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160303205759/http://cpc.people.com.cn/GB/64093/64387/16226005.html |url-status = dead }}

Geography and climate

File:Txu-oclc-10552568-ng48-3.jpg, 1954)]]

Bijie borders Zunyi to the east, Anshun and Liupanshui to the south, Zhaotong and Qujing (Yunnan) to the west, and Luzhou (Sichuan) to the north. It spans latitude 26°21′−27°46′ N and longitude 105°36′−106°43′ E, and is marked heavily by the presence of the Wumeng Mountains ({{lang|zh-hans|乌蒙山}}) as well as karst topography. The Wu, Beipan, and Chishui Rivers are the most important rivers that originate here. The highest elevation is Jiucaiping ({{lang|zh|韭菜坪}}), at {{convert|2900.6|m|abbr=on}}, on the border of Hezhang and Weining counties.

Due to its low latitude and elevation above {{convert|1700|m|sigfig=2|abbr=on}}, Bijie has a monsoon-influenced subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb), bordering on a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cwa) with very warm, rainy summers and cool, damp winters. The monthly 24-hour average temperature ranges from {{convert|3.0|°C|1}} in January to {{convert|21.9|°C|1}} in July, while the annual mean is {{convert|13.3|°C|1}}. Rainfall is very common year-round, occurring on 189 days of the year, but over half of the annual total ({{convert|898|mm|1|abbr=on|disp=or}}) occurs from June to August. With monthly percent possible sunshine ranging from 14% in January to 40% in August, the city receives 1,162 hours of bright sunshine annually; spring is sunnier and features warmer daytime temperatures than autumn. Snow and ice are occasional hazards over winter, with a particularly severe event in January 2023.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO7UI6nfWpg YouTube Most Horrific Natural Disasters Caught on Dashcam 21:06-22:04.
