Duyun (simplified Chinese:都匀;traditional Chinese:都勻;pinyin:Dūyún) is the capital ofQiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture inGuizhou province,China.
The area surrounding the city was affected bythe Miao rebellion of 1735–36. The city participated in the uprising from the early stages until it was forcefully repressed the following year.
Prior to 1949, Duyun was small, but due to economic development in the surrounding area, it became an economic center. It has expanded along theJian River, becoming several times its previous size.[2]
