Duyun (simplified Chinese: 都匀; traditional Chinese: 都勻; pinyin: Dūyún) is the capital of Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou province in the People's Republic of China.

The area surrounding the city was affected by the Miao rebellion of 1735-36. The city participated in the uprising from the early stages until it was forcefully repressed the following year.

History[edit]

Prior to 1949, Duyun was small, but due to economic development in the surrounding area, it became an economic center. It has expanded along the Jian River, becoming several times its previous size.[1]
