When you visit Guiyang, you absolutely must try *luoguo* (stir-fried dishes cooked in a large wok). Locals recommended Ju Jun Yuan Luoguo, and since it was nearby, I decided to give it a try! This restaurant is a street-side eatery. While the setting is simple, the atmosphere is fantastic! The pork belly is their signature dish, and ordering multiple servings is totally justified! Combined with dried chilies, the flavor is simply divine, incredibly delicious! The small tofu and yellow glutinous rice cake are also must-try delicacies. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the texture is superb! Make sure the potato cakes are well-cooked. They're especially delicious when eaten last, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You won't be able to stop at just one! The small intestines are fragrant and chewy, each bite a delightful treat for your taste buds. Don't forget the special beef and chicken cartilage. The beef is tender and juicy, and the cartilage is crispy and flavorful. Every dish is truly unforgettable! They offer two dipping sauces, both incredibly fragrant! The owner even mixes them for you, which is a really thoughtful touch! 🏡Restaurant Name: Ju Jun Yuan Luoguo (Wenming Road Branch) 📍Address: Room 114, No. 18 Wenming Road, Yunyan District, Guiyang 🚇Transportation: 1.0 km walk from Yangmingci Station (Exit B), Metro Line 2

Wang Yangming was demoted to Longchang, Guizhou, and realized the philosophy of mind here. There are many relics in Guiyang City. Yangming Temple is located at the foot of Fufeng Mountain in the east of the city. It was built in the 19th year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1814) and is a temple established in memory of Wang Shouren. Of course, Wang Yangming's demotion was in Longchang, which is now Yangming Village, Longchang Town, Xiuwen County, Guiyang. There is a Longgang Mountain, and there is Yangming Cave on the mountain, and Yangming Temple is built. It is the birthplace and early dissemination place of Yangming's philosophy. After coming out of Yangming Temple Subway Station, I went to Baoshan North Road by feeling. After walking for a while, I found that it was not right, so I returned to Dongshan Road, which intersects with it. Along this slightly sloping road to the east, there is a huge archway across the road, with a plaque inlaid with "Qixia Wonderland". Qixia Mountain, Fufeng Mountain, and Xiangbao Mountain are collectively known as Qixia Wonderland. Qixia Mountain is located on the right side of Dongshan Road, and there are ruins of Dongshan Temple in the mountain. Fufeng Mountain is located on the left side of Dongshan Road, and the Yangming Temple you are looking for is located here. After passing the archway, turn to the nearby Luoshan Road, which leads to a community, and the mountain gate of Yangming Temple stands on the side of the road. There is a sign at the door, which says that the opening hours are from 9:00 to 18:00. I looked at my watch, and it was only 8:00 in the morning, so I had to wait at the door for an hour. I found a higher position next to it, and through the tall white wall, I could see the dense houses in the courtyard, with blue bricks and gray tiles, ancient trees towering, lush and green, and it was indeed a place of cultural gathering. And the small mountain behind should be Fufeng Mountain, with a two-story pavilion on the top of the mountain, which is the best viewing platform. I wandered in front of the mountain gate for a long time, and finally decided to use it as an excuse to revisit Guiyang. In addition, there are the ruins of Dongshan Temple next to it.

This May, I traveled to Guiyang~ The climate in Guiyang is really comfortable, walking on the street with the breeze blowing is so pleasant🍃 🍃 Guiyang is truly a beautiful city surrounded by mountains and comfortable to live in~ 👉🏻Guiyang summer retreat one-day city walk checklist: Start with breakfast downstairs at the hotel - then head to Yangming Si - have lunch on Guanshan West Road - and check in at Jiaxiu Tower in the afternoon 🍃It must be said that Guiyang has no severe summer heat, with an average summer temperature of 23.2 degrees Celsius, so even running around on the streets won't make you sweat profusely🥵🍃The highest temperature in Guiyang in summer averages between 25-28 degrees Celsius, and even in the hottest late July, the average temperature is only 23.7 degrees. - 👉🏻Yangming Si is directly accessible by subway, just about 200 meters walk from the subway station, and there's no admission fee🎫, you can just go in. The local cuisine in Guiyang is mainly sour and spicy, and I really like their local hot and sour soup, appetizing and delicious~ 👉🏻I recommend visiting Jiaxiu Tower in the afternoon, the subway near Jiaxiu Tower is a bit of a walk, but strolling along the river is also very enjoyable~

Guiyang Yangming Temple was built in 1814 and has a history of more than two hundred years. This classical architectural group commemorating the Ming Dynasty's psychologist, philosopher, writer and strategist Mr. Wang Yangming is located in the Fufeng Mountain, east of Guiyang City. There are many stone lions inside and outside the temple. The most powerful is a pair of stone lions at the door. It is stunned. Proud, eyes filled with historical vicissitudes. Mr. Wang Yangming has a rough life, but his theory of mind has a far-reaching influence. The "conscience" and "integration of knowledge and action" can be applied flexibly to the fields of seeking knowledge, economy, life and military from theory to practice. Yangming's architectural style follows the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a courtyard structure. The main building is called the Hall (the main hall). In front of the hall, there are Zhengqi Pavilion and Osmanthus Hall connected to the two sides. This building community is a bit like a Taoist temple, but it is not a Taoist temple. Its layout is quite elegant and Taoist. It reminds people of the free-flowing pictures of the film and television in the film and television works, the tea on the stone table, and the chess on the pavilion. Transportation: Take the 6, 11, 32, 44, 64, 606, and 302 in Guiyang City and get off at Yangming Temple for a few minutes.
