Abstract：According to location theory， China's urban economic development generally shows the spatial pattern of coastal areas better than inland areas. Since the development of the western region in China， the urban agglomeration economy with the central city as the core promotes the convergence of regional differences within the pattern. The driving factors of urban economic growth in inland areas are helpful to enrich the spatial location theory of economic growth. Therefore， Guiyang City is chosen as a case study to elucidate the driving factors of urban economic growth in inland areas. Specifically， on the basis of investment， consumption and export， which drive economic growth， 10 indices such as investment in fixed assets， actual utilization of foreign capital， total tourism income and foreign trade export are selected. The entropy method is used to measure the information entropy， redundancy and weight values of different levels of indices from 2000 to 2017. It is used to analyze the characteristics and driving factors of Guiyang's economic growth. The results show as follows. 1) Investment， consumption and export all promote economic growth， and specifically， it is investment > consumption > export. Investment is the main driving force for economic growth， and consumption is the secondary driving force for economic growth. The impact of export (external demand) on economic growth is very weak， which is strongly different from that of export-driven economic growth in coastal areas. 2) The segmentation indices of investment， consumption and export have strong and weak impact on economic growth， and exhibit a periodic feature. Among the investment indices， the actual use of foreign capital， real estate investment and investment in fixed assets of the tertiary industry are the main driving force for economic growth， and the total tourism income is the main driving force for economic growth in the consumption indicators. 3) The reason why different industries drive economic growth is the tendency of investment. The second industry and the third industry are the important directions of industrial investment， and the third industry investment accounts for the largest proportion. 4) Rapid economic growth has increased the total economic volume， raised the level of economic development， expanded the internal and external demand， and led to the blowout of tourism development. Boosting tourism has become the main driving force of consumption indicators in economic growth. The rapid development of economy has promoted the per capita consumption capacity of urban residents， and promoted the continuous growth of the total retail sales volume， which has become an important support for economic growth.
