GENEVIEVE RIOSUnited States

After three days in Guiyang, my spending perspective was shattered!

Who would've thought that nestled in the mountains of southwest China lies a 23°C "natural air-conditioned city"? Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province at 1,100 meters above sea level, might tan you without sunscreen in summer but will never make your makeup melt from sweat💦! In June, macaques photobomb at Qianling Mountain, sour fish soup dances in hot pots, and even the ancient town's stone paths feel minty fresh~ 🏞️【Ultra-detailed 3-Day Itinerary】 Day1: City Stroll & Cultural Feast 🌅 Morning: Charge! Qianling Mountain Park (Free🆓!) Who can resist free pandas🐼? Hongfu Temple's incense and the monkeys' pickpocket skills are equally wild~ Take the cable car up (¥25), hike down to meet macaque troops🐒, but never eat bananas🍌 in front of them (learned the hard way)! 🍜 Noon: Huguo Road Food Raid Changwang noodles' chili oil is addictively fragrant🌶️ - Nanmenkou's queue is legendary👑. Fatty intestines + blood tofu + crispy pork = carb overload💣! Nearby Lei Family's tofu balls: crispy outside, tender inside, dipped in fishy herb sauce - mind-blowing! 🌃 Evening: Jiaxiu Tower Night View + Qingyun Road Night Market The Ming Dynasty tower lights up like time travel💡. Cuiwei Garden offers free Hanfu photo ops~ Must-try: Liuyishou grilled fish🐟 with crispy skin and sour radish - spicy but irresistible! Day2: Ancient Town & Karst Fantasy 🌅 Morning: Qingyan Ancient Town (¥10) 600-year-old braised pork trotter town🐷 - so tender it sticks to your lips! Watch rose candy being pulled🌹, sweet lovers must try cake porridge~ Arrive before 8am for crowd-free alley photos📸. 🚤 Afternoon: Tianhetan (¥80 with boat ticket) Boat through water caves feels like "Tomb Notes" adventure⚡, dry cave's stalactites dazzle~ Watch for spray near waterfalls! Day3: Nature's Grand Finale 🌊 All Day: Huangguoshu Falls (2h drive/tour) June's water volume is epic💦 - raincoat essential! Get a natural SPA under the falls, Silver Chain Pond will leave you speechless~ 🌟【Top 5 Must-Dos】 1️⃣ Qianling Mountain Park: Free monkeys & pandas🐒🐼, cable car city views~ 2️⃣ Qingyan Town: ¥10 food spree, braised trotters + bayberry drink = heavenly combo🍗 3️⃣ Jiaxiu Tower: Free night views! Tea by Nanming River = ultimate chill~ 4️⃣ Huguo Road: Changwang noodles + tofu balls + Hunan noodles - scream-worthy every 3 steps😱 5️⃣ Huaxi Wetland Park: Free biking🚲, June lotus blooms, entrance beef noodles to die for! 🏨【Forest Retreat or Downtown?】 • Hyatt Regency Guiyang: Mountain views⛰️, pool + bar = influencer package~ • Huaguoyuan Homestays: ¥100+/night "Guiyang Hongyadong", nightscapes rivaling "Spirited Away"🌃 🚌【Transport Tips】 • Bus: Lines 1/2 to Qianling, Line 15 to Jiaxiu - cheap but sardine-packed😵 • Metro: Line 3 to Provincial Museum - AC so cool you'll nap😴 • Taxi: ¥10 starting fare, but old town traffic drives cabbies mad... 💡【Bloody Good Tips】 • Fishy herbs are Guiyang's soul - yell "No yuxingcao!" if you can't stand it • Qianling monkeys steal milk tea🥤 - hide plastic bags! • June showers play random shuffle🌦️ - foldable umbrella > boyfriend~ 🍜【Food Attack List】 Sour Fish Soup: Lao Kaili's red broth + catfish - tangy-spicy tongue dance💃 Siwawa: Silian's 15-ingredient wraps, sour soup awakening🌯 Danjia Crispy Duck: Numbing like electric lips⚡ - can't stop snacking~ Sticky Rice: Auntie Mao's pork fat + crispy pork + sugar = perfect balance🍙 Bean Hotpot: Tufeng's rich broth over rice - you'll lick the bowl🥘 💰【Cost Breakdown】 • Transport: Bus ¥2/ride, taxis ~¥50/day • Food: Snacks ¥10-30, meals ¥60-100/person • Stay: Homestays ¥150+/night, hotels ¥400+ • Fun: Most expensive is Huangguoshu (¥220), Qingyan's ¥10 is steal 🌺💦【Final Reasons to Fall Hard】 In Guiyang, mornings begin with monkeys begging at windows, afternoons with trotter-induced daydreams in ancient towns, nights sipping sour soup watching Jiaxiu's reflections... ¥2 buses traverse forests, ¥10 buys food comas~ June breezes carry bayberry scents, even raindrops feel chilled! This guide's your ticket - the mountain city's summer is calling your name!✨🚡
