From our Guiyang Travel Guide.
May to October — Guiyang is one of China's best summer escapes, cool at 20–28C.
Guizhou food is sour and spicy rather than purely hot; sour-soup fish, siwawa and肠旺面 are the classics.
Two days cover the city; use Guiyang as a base for day trips to Huangguoshu and Libo.
Qianling's monkeys, Huaxi's open meadows and the easy lanes of Qingyan Town suit families well.
Moderate — food and transport are cheap; a comfortable trip runs around RMB 800 per person.
Longdongbao Airport (KWE) and Guiyang North high-speed station connect to the rest of China; metro covers the centre.
