Although I haven't reduced to my target weight, I still maintain my enthusiasm for losing weight for 2024, and we rushed to the street food in Guiyang. DAY1 We set off in the morning and arrived in Guiyang at noon. Guiyang East Station is far from the city. It took 40 minutes to take a taxi to the hotel where we stayed, which is near Qingyun Market. It's very close to the three major food streets (Caijia, Zhengxin, Minsheng), about 10 minutes by taxi. We ate various snacks at Caijia Street at noon, basically all need to queue. The intestine noodles were not as delicious as imagined, mainly because I was not used to that kind of noodles. Although they were chewy, they were slightly dry. However, the intestines and tripe inside were good (Surprise: the baked bread next to Dong's potato chips near Luo's is just right). We went to Jiaxiu Tower in the afternoon and spent about 90 minutes. No appointment is needed in the off-season. Some people say it's better at night. Then we went to Dongshan Temple to watch the sunset. We thought everyone would go to Qianling Mountain, but this also required queuing to climb the mountain. The mountain is not high, and it takes half an hour to reach the top. The best viewing area is already full of people. We who arrived late could only see countless heads. So when the sun was about to set, we decided to go down the mountain first. You can also enjoy the sunset on the way down the mountain. It is recommended that friends without VIP positions go down the mountain early, so as not to miss the scenery and cannot go down the mountain for a long time after sunset, affecting the subsequent itinerary. We ate Silk Doll and went to the White House at night. The road was very congested at more than 7 o'clock. It is recommended that everyone eat directly in Huaguoyuan and watch the White House after eating. DAY2 We set off early in the morning to Libo Xiaoqikong. The round trip time in one day is quite ample. You can see my other article for the specific itinerary. In the evening, we went to eat Miao Ling sour soup beef. The beef is very fresh and the taste is also unique. DAY3 Because we have to return in the afternoon, we only have the morning left, so we went to Minsheng Road again, checked in the toilet steamed buns, small roll powder, pot crispy glutinous rice cake, and glutinous rice. Among them, the glutinous rice was very disappointing. Please avoid the glutinous rice next to the crispy whistle at the street corner Ding's (I really forgot the name). If you want to eat glutinous rice, you really have to get up early. There is basically none at nine/ten in the morning. The pot crispy glutinous rice cake is quite special, a thin layer of glutinous rice crispy pot, wrapped with sesame and white sugar, etc., very fragrant. Dry goods province flow: Food Street: Caijia, Zhengxin, Minsheng, they are connected to each other, and you can try it when you see the queue. Not everyone is used to eating intestine noodles. You can first go to the noodle shop without queuing to see if you are used to that kind of noodles. There is no need to waste time in the gold medal Luo's. Sunset viewing: Dongshan Temple and Qianling Mountain Surrounding play: Libo Xiaoqikong, a day trip from Guiyang (definitely do not go on a rainy day) Hotel: Nanyue Holiday Hotel-Breakfast is rich, various Guizhou specialty foods, and Zhe'er Gen milk tea, worth a try

Guiyang Hotel Stay Experience I stayed in three hotels in Guiyang, and I made a brief record of them. Sofitel Guiyang Hunter:Sofitel Suite Located in the old city, you can overlook Jiaxiu Tower from the room, which is less than 10 minutes' walk away. It is close to the shopping mall and has many dining options, but the lobby is on an elevated road. Whether going to the shopping mall or Jiaxiu Building, you need to walk up three flights of stairs to get down to the ground, which is a bit difficult for the elderly. Although the Sofitel suite we stayed in is called a suite, it is actually a room + a large semicircular balcony. The balcony area includes the living room + bathroom + toilet. The view outside the window is quite good, but maybe the old city is more energy-efficient? After nightfall, the tall buildings outside are dark and not so brightly lit. There were three of us staying in the hotel, and the happy hour in the executive lounge was not charged extra (the hotel in the capital charged double the price for only one more person in the lounge). Guiyang Nanyue Holiday Inn: One-Bedroom City View Suite Also located in the old city, this hotel was booked to make it convenient for the elderly to go to the nearby Guizhou Grand Theater to watch the colorful Guizhou-style performances at night. However, I forgot that you still need to go up and down the overpass and walk up the stairs to cross the road. There is actually no view outside the suite window, just a shabby large construction site. The sofa in the living room can be opened to become a double bed, and there is a bathroom in the living room and bedroom. Although the air conditioner in the room was broken and kept blowing cold air, after I reported it to the front desk, two electric heaters were quickly delivered and the problem was solved. The buffet breakfast also offers magical Zhe Er Gen milk tea, but I didn’t dare to try it. Guiyang Guanshan Lake Amber Hotel: Macaron Family Room Located in the new city area, close to the high-speed rail station, there is also a large shopping mall opposite the hotel, which makes eating and shopping quite convenient. The pick-up and drop-off service provided by the hotel is not its own car, but a Didi special car called by the housekeeper. The front desk is relatively small and connected to the lobby bar. It was a bit confusing when there were so many people checking in. But the butlers are very warm and friendly, and they can also take you around the hotel and explain the design ideas of each place. The family room we booked is actually two separate guest rooms next to each other at the corner, sharing a small corridor. Once the door outside the corridor is closed, it becomes a private space. The bedding was very comfortable, but it was a pity that the hot water in the room seemed to have some problems. The shower felt cold. I was too lazy to find a housekeeper so I just made do with it. There is no executive lounge, but desserts are provided when you turn down the bed. The buffet breakfast is in the attached French restaurant, which has good environment and dishes.
