Trip Overview

If this is your first trip to Guiyang, this is the itinerary for you. In three days you'll go from the city icon Jiaxiu Tower to the 600-year-old military town of Qingyan, from the karst wonderland of Tianthetan to Qianling Mountain Park, a local favorite. You'll see mountains and rivers, wander old streets, and still have time for a proper bowl of Huaxi beef noodles. The pace is relaxed — experience this 'City of Summer' the way locals do.
