Guizhou Guiyang: Beyond Expectation, A Niche Travel Destination.

Ever since I started traveling more within the mainland, I've become interested in visiting more niche places—like Guizhou Guiyang👍🏻 🚝Guiyang Transportation It takes about 5 hours from Hong Kong to Guiyang, making it suitable for a short trip👍🏻 - Guiyang North Station: Close to the city center, with subway access - Guiyang East Station: Far from the city center, only buses available - Guiyang Longdongbao Airport: About 40 minutes by subway to the city center Must-Visit Attractions Qingyan Ancient Town, Qingyun Market 👍🏻, The White House, Qianling Mountain Park, Jiaxiu Tower The White House is stunning to see in person, although it's a pity that there are too many people taking photos for others. Qingyun Market is bustling and dazzling to the eyes🤣🤣🤣There's so much to buy

Guiyang, Qingyan Ancient Town.

Qingyan ancient Town is a 45 minute drive from the city, and a 15minute drive from Tianhetan. I highly recommend that you do these two places on the same day since they are both far out of the city but close to each other. To get there, you can get a taxi/Didi. This will take +-45mins depending on weather conditions and traffic. Make sure you have your green codes prepared in order to gain entry. Attractions - the ancient Town is similar to most ancient towns around China. It does have a few distinct qualities differentiating it from others around the country. Attractions here are the wall, the buildings, the environment and interesting architecture all around. Hotels - I didn't see any hotels near here but drive 15more minutes and you will find hotels near Tianhetan. Food & Restaurants - there are plenty of food stalls, the entire Ancient Town is one giant food attraction. Shopping - there are plenty of stores to shop local clothing and souvenirs. #ancienttown #guiyang #chinatravel #vlogger #insta

Guizhou - Qingyan Ancient Town

Qingyan Ancient Town, one of the most famous historical and cultural towns in Guizhou, was an extremely memorable and pleasant experience. It’s incredibly easy to get to. I took a taxi from Guiyang, it took just under an hour and cost 80rmb. If you prefer, you could also take bus 203 or 210. My ticket cost 60rmb and I spent about 4 hours at the site. The town itself is breathtakingly beautiful. A spectacular city wall encases the town which you are free to walk upon. This provides wonderful views and photo opportunities. The ancient architecture is wonderful with different temples, courtyards, gates and walls to visit. The streets are alive and bustling with an enormous variety of local vendors selling street food, local delicacies, clothing, instruments and much more. As well as the street food vendors there are lots of restaurants so you will not go hungry here! #ancienttowns #architecture #historicculture #summervacation #historicculture#summervacation

The environment is great, and the view is really unbeatable. You can enjoy the scenery of the ancient town from the balcony. ~😍 A family or a group of friends can come here to have a party, team building, or barbecue. The privacy is very high, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed or disturbing others. You can have a great time. ~🎉 The hotel service is very thoughtful, and the staff provides smiling service throughout the whole process. When checking in, they offer a washed fruit plate and patiently confirm the breakfast delivery time for the next day. The local beef and mutton noodles in the breakfast are really delicious. ~😋 It takes only 15 minutes to walk to Qingyan Ancient Town, which has a history of over 600 years.

First stop: Guiyang. Visit 6 attractions in one day.

First stop: Guiyang. Visit 6 attractions in one day. Attractions ✅ 1️⃣ Huaxi Yelang Valley (The result of over 20 years of hard work by an old Guizhou artist, the valley is a visualization of the Yelang people from the story of the arrogant Yelang people. It's a nice place to visit. Ticket: CNY 20 Transportation: Take Metro Line 3 to the terminal station Tongmuling, then take a taxi to the valley. 2️⃣ Qingyan Ancient Town (Built in the Tang Dynasty, the town's buildings are well-preserved. It has 4 religions: Taoism, Buddhism, Catholicism, and Christianity. Ancient towns across the country are all similar and homogeneous. I went there for the food, and it's close to Huaxi Yelang Valley.) Ticket: CNY 10 Transportation: Take a taxi from Huaxi Yelang Valley (about CNY 10+) Food: You can choose a combo meal for CNY 58, which includes braised pig's feet, rice tofu, tofu balls, rice cake porridge, and rose jelly. The pig's feet are well-seasoned, and the green rice tofu is delicious. 3️⃣ Dongshan Temple (Watch the sunset and the city night view) Ticket: Free Transportation: Return to Tongmuling, take the metro to Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital, then take a taxi to the intersection of Dongshan Road and Qixia Road, and walk up the mountain. The height is not a problem. It takes 15 minutes to go up and 5 minutes to go down. It's worth a visit for the sunset, night view, and panoramic view of the city. 4️⃣ Jiaxiu Tower (Enjoy the night view and take a walk. I didn't feel much.) Ticket: Free Food: You can eat on Minsheng Street and then go to Jiaxiu Tower. 5️⃣ Twin Towers 6️⃣ White House (It's really spectacular. The exterior is more luxurious than the Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi.) The Twin Towers and the White House are together, so you can visit both at once. They are landmark buildings in the city. Ticket: Free Transportation: Exit from Exit B of Huaguoyuan Metro Station and walk 100 meters. You can also take a taxi to this place. The taxi driver took us directly to the gate of the White House, but we couldn't take a full view of the White House. We went back to Exit B of Huaguoyuan Metro Station to take a photo, which was just right. Tips: It's recommended to stay at Penquan Pool, which is convenient for traveling anywhere.

October 5th, check in Qingyan Ancient Town.

After visiting Jiaxiu Tower in Guiyang city center, I originally planned to visit Qianling Park to see pandas and monkeys. However, the navigation led me to the East Gate, where there was no parking space. After being stuck there for 30 minutes, I decided to head to Qingyan Ancient Town instead. Qingyan Ancient Town has many parking spaces, but you need to walk a few hundred meters. Upon arriving at the ancient town, I was greeted by a bustling crowd and a lively atmosphere. There were also many snacks available along the streets. For CNY 9 on Trip.com, I bought a ticket to enter the scenic area. We entered from the South Gate, where there were many shops renting ethnic costumes, perfect for taking photos. Food recommendations: Zhuangyuan Hoof and Rose Ice Jelly, both delicious.
