Debao (, Standard Zhuang: Dwzbauj Yen) is a county of western Guangxi, China. It is under the administration of Baise City.
Economy
Bauxite mining is a major industry in Debao County. To facilitate the transportation of the ore, a 72-km single-track electrified railway branch was completed in 2010, connecting Debao with
Tiandong County on the Nanning–Kunming mainline.
The bauxite and other local ores are shipped by rail to Qianxinan in
Guizhou,
Shihezi in
Xinjiang, and to other metallurgical plants throughout the country. In the opposite direction, coal is brought to Debao from Guizhou, Shanxi, and from overseas (via the
Fangchenggang port).
