Excellent food , friendly service and it comes with a performance too! Very good recommendation from Trip.com in relation to this restaurant!

A famous local restaurant, it's a chain. The sour soup fish is delicious. Three of us chose a river grouper weighing more than 3 kilograms. There are also other fish to choose from, depending on your preference. There are many local specialties, it's worth a try.

It is a very popular chain restaurant in Guiyang. The decoration of the store is quite standard, just like a normal chain restaurant. The waiters are very young, the service level is online, the price is reasonable, and the fish soup is good.

I took my kids to the fountain to play. This restaurant serves Guizhou cuisine. The food tastes pretty good, and the price per person is only 50 or 60 yuan. I think it's a really good deal.

I searched online for Guizhou people's recommendation --- Guichu Sour Soup Beef, and arranged to take a taxi there. Guizhou's sour soup is really authentic, and the sour soup should be called sour and fragrant, with an excellent taste. Guizhou people love it, and people from other places love it too. Recommended.

Guiyang is a charming city, blending unique karst landforms, rich ethnic culture, and tempting cuisine. Here is a Guiyang travel guide: Must-Visit Attractions Qianling Mountain Park: Known as Guiyang's "green lung," admission is free with reservations. Climb the pavilion for panoramic city views, and visit Hongfu Temple for Buddhist worship. Wild macaques are present; please do not feed them. Jiaxiu Tower: Guiyang's iconic landmark, free admission, open Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00, closed Mondays. The night view is particularly stunning. Qingyan Ancient Town: One of Guizhou's four ancient towns, first entrance fee 10 yuan. Stroll along the stone-paved streets, visit the Zhuangyuan Mansion and Wanshou Palace, and sample local delicacies such as braised pig's feet and rice porridge. Tianhetan Tourist Resort: Known as "a unique wonder of Guizhou," first entrance fee 10 yuan. Enjoy views of calcified waterfalls and karst caves. Huaxi Yelang Valley: Entrance fee 20 yuan. A mysterious valley created by artists over nearly 30 years, blending karst landforms with ancient Yelang culture. Food Recommendations Sour Soup Fish: Recommended is Lao Kaili Sour Soup Fish (Provincial Government Branch). Its sour soup fish has been awarded intangible cultural heritage status; it's tangy and appetizing. Sour Soup Beef: Guichu Sour Soup Beef (Huijin Xingli City Branch) is worth a visit. The red sour soup base paired with freshly sliced beef is incredibly satisfying. Intestine and Blood Noodles: Jinpai Luoji Intestine and Blood Noodles (Caijia Street Branch) is a famous local noodle shop. The noodles are chewy, the blood tofu is tender, and the fatty intestines are soft and glutinous. Glutinous Rice: Aunt Mao's Glutinous Rice at Liuguangmen is rich in ingredients and a memorable breakfast for Guiyang locals. Accommodation Suggestions Old Town: Nanming District is a bustling commercial area, close to Jiaxiu Tower and Qingyun Market. The Hunter Sofitel Hotel is a good option. Yunyan District boasts a vibrant local atmosphere and is close to Qianling Mountain Park. Hotels around Xiaoshizi and Dashizi offer excellent value for money. For a comfortable getaway: The Guiyang Anantara Resort Hotel, located in the Shuanglong Airport Economic Zone, offers a tranquil and comfortable environment, ideal for family trips. Qingyan Wenfan Huajiantang·Zhuangyuan Bieyuan is situated within Qingyan Ancient Town, offering easy access to the town. Itinerary: Day 1: Morning: Visit Qianling Mountain Park. Lunch: Intestine and meat noodles at Caijia Street. Afternoon: Visit Jiaxiu Tower and photograph the night view. Dinner: Enjoy snacks at Qingyun Market. Day 2: Morning: Explore Qingyan Ancient Town. Afternoon: Head to Tianhetan Tourist Resort. Evening: Enjoy a sour soup feast at Lao Kaili Sour Soup Fish Restaurant. Day 3: Morning: Visit the Guizhou Provincial Museum. Breakfast: Local specialties on Minsheng Road. Afternoon: Visit Huaxi Yelang Valley. Before returning home, consider buying Danjia Wan'ergao (a type of steamed rice cake) as a souvenir. Transportation Guide External Transportation: Guiyang North Railway Station is the largest transportation hub in Southwest China. Longdongbao International Airport provides access to the entire country, and Metro Line 2 provides direct access to the city center. Internal Transportation: Buses and metro lines cover major attractions. Taxi fares start at around 10 yuan. For trips to suburban attractions, shuttle buses are available.

Guizhou's sour soup beef hotpot is a must-try. There are many brands and the tastes are slightly different. This restaurant is also one of the popular brands. There are many people and the environment is good. The sour soup is very rich and several dishes are also very satisfying. Guizhou beef is completely guaranteed to be of good quality. The mutton skewers are also surprisingly delicious. Overall, it is a restaurant worth going to.

Qiancheng Sour Soup Beef is a chain hotpot restaurant with several branches in Guiyang. This one is closer to Jiaxiu Tower, and is relatively large with unique decoration. You can order by scanning, and the side dishes and vegetables are self-service. The beef tenderloin is average and a little hard to chew, but the porcini are delicious.

I was pleasantly surprised. The environment was very free. I felt very relaxed as soon as I entered the store. The drinks tasted very good. I wanted to try every one of them!

Yibeiding has opened many branches in Guiyang. The prices are similar to Starbucks. Guiyang locals like to go there very much.

Verified user reviews

We had a variety of dinners: crispy duck, silk dumplings, and vegetarian noodles. On the 29th, I was clamoring for vegetarian noodles early in the morning. My friend said, "Oh my god, where can I get you vegetarian noodles at this time? They are all closed." Today, I finally had a good time. I was just dressed very elegantly to visit relatives, but I took a portion of vegetarian noodles and ate it while walking. I looked for crispy duck. After three pieces, I couldn't find my tongue. I only ate half of the half. I even asked for another one. Many friends don't know what silk dumplings are. I will report it later...

The store entrance is being renovated but it doesn't affect the business at all. There are a lot of people but the queue is still relatively fast. The space inside the store is tight and it's very hot, much higher than outside. It is recommended to take the food to the ice jelly shop next door to eat after purchase (just buy a dessert in the ice jelly shop, it's also delicious). Basically, a bowl of noodles costs 17 or 18. Since I'm not a local, I have no comparison, but it still tastes pretty good.

I'm sorry I didn't see the noodle girl this time. Fortunately, the taste of noodles hasn't changed. It seems to taste better, and pig's trotters are also good.

I specially found a place to taste it. It's easy to find on the fourth floor of Tianyi City. I didn't understand it when I ate it for the first time. The lady specially demonstrated it. After I learned it, I started to eat it myself. I can accept the Houttuynia cordata. I give myself a thumbs up

Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province, is a place with food and entertainment, just like other provincial capitals. Silk dolls are a good snack that suits the tastes of all groups. They are similar to snacks in other places, such as Chengdu's spring pancakes.
