Back from Guiyang - Really Not Recommended to Go This Month, Just One Thing to Say.

🌍 1. Guiyang’s Highlights 👉 22°C Natural Air-Conditioned Haven Average summer temp of 22.3°C. Watch monkeys dive to cool off at Qianling Mountain, enjoy evening breezes with osmanthus fragrance by Nanming River—who needs AC? 👉 Carb + Spicy Flavor Roulette "100 Ways to Kill Potatoes" + "No sour for three days, walking feels shaky." The cilantro challenge might just hit your soul. 👉 History Meets Fantasy Wang Yangming’s enlightenment at Longchang, 600 years of history at Jiaxiu Tower; the giant stone formations at Yelang Valley look like alien ruins—perfect for otherworldly photos! ------ 🚌 2. Transportation Hacks **Major Transit** • ✈️ Flight: Longdongbao Airport → Metro Line 2 to downtown (30min) • 🚄 High-speed rail: Guiyang North/East Station → Metro Line 1, stay near Penzhuichi Station for convenience! **Local Exploration** • 🚇 Metro: Covers 90% of attractions, scan with "Guiyang Metro Card" on Alipay • 🛵 Pro Move: Rent an e-bike (¥50/day) to explore alleys and snacks, avoiding traffic jams ------ 📸 3.

Locals’ Food Secrets 🔥 **Snack Nukes** • Zhengxin Street Big Three: Auntie Yu’s crispy potato cakes (¥4) + Wangji crispy rice wraps (¥7) + "Toilet Bun" (with cilantro version) • Huguo Road Legends: Nankoumen blood-and-pork noodles (¥13) + Lei’s tofu balls (dip is key!) + Maolaguo stinky-shrimp beef (funky umami bomb) • Late-night code: Zhou’s grilled fish at Qingyun Market (queues past 11 PM), Danjia crispy duck (numbing spice dance!) 🍲 **Hearty Meals** • Sour Soup Universe: Guichuan sour beef (fresh-cut with mint, ¥60/person) • Sizzling Wildness: Qingzhen Ding’s auntie (crispy tofu + pork jowl, pair with icy dessert) • Mystery Experience: Heji fermented bean hotpot (¥38/person, stinky but addictive—locals swear by it) ------ 🗺️ 5. 3-Day Itinerary | Lazy Copy-Paste Edition **Day 1: History + Fantasy Mix** Qianling Mountain (2h) → Provincial Museum (2h) → Catholic church café → Yelang Valley (golden hour) → Qingyun Market night snacks ✅ Pro tip: No plastic bags at Qianling—monkeys will mug you! **Day 2: Scenery + Feasting** Qingyan Ancient Town (9 AM to avoid crowds) → Tianhe Tan (caves + waterfall) → Jiaxiu Tower at dusk → Huguo Street food crawl 🍜 Bonus: Try "Jinbixuan’s" champion pork knuckle + sweet rice porridge, pack rose candy! **Day 3: Urban Wanderlust** Yangming Cultural Park (for philosophy fans) → Radio Street artsy cafés → East Hill Temple sunset (20-min climb for city views) → Departure 💡 Local advice: "Yang Popo BBQ" with mung bean soup—eat roadside for authenticity! ------ 📷 6. Viral Photo Tricks 1️⃣ **Jiaxiu Tower Nights**: Tripod on Cuiwei Alley bridge, 30-sec exposure for silky water 2️⃣ **Tianhe Tan Caves**: Flashlight on stalactite reflections, add "deep blue" filter 3️⃣ **Qingyan Backstreets**: 3 PM light cuts stone walls, ground-level shots for drama 4️⃣ **Museum Cube Wall**: Bright clothes against colored glass, blur background for pop ------ 🚨 Survival Guide • Cilantro warning: Default in snacks! Yell "No fishy herb!" 🌿 • Weather roulette: July-Aug rains—pack a light jacket + umbrella • Taxi scams: ≤¥30 between spots, anything more is a detour! • Monkey rules: Don’t touch! Feed quickly (peanuts recommended) "Travel here means Jiaxiu Tower’s breeze blowing cilantro into your noodles, Yelang’s stones whispering ‘smile for the camera,’ and 22°C summers scribbling in your notes— ‘Next time, bring a 256GB stomach.’ 🌶️"
