Four days and three nights in Guizhou Province is not enough to explore everything. With limited time, we stayed in Guiyang City and visited the Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area in Anshun City. Day 1️⃣: Arrived at Guiyang East Station and checked in. With only half a day left, we visited Qingyun Market and had a chance encounter with Kenneth Fok and Guo Jingjing. Then, we went to Jiaxiu Tower for some photo opportunities. Day 2️⃣: Visited Tianhetan Scenic Area, took a boat ride to see rock formations, and climbed the equivalent of 24 floors, walking over 10,000 steps. Day 3️⃣: Woke up early to visit Huangguoshu Waterfall. It was peak summer season, so the place was crowded. As Asia's largest waterfall, each section had its unique charm. The area is divided into three main sections: the Grand Waterfall, Doupotang, and Tianxingqiao. Shuttle buses are required to move between areas, and there are still queues to see the waterfalls after getting off the bus. Tianxingqiao has the longest walking route with ups and downs, Doupotang is mostly flat, and the Grand Waterfall offers an escalator ride for an additional fee. It's recommended to have lunch in the Grand Waterfall area as there are more dining options. Day 4️⃣: Visited the Guizhou Provincial Museum before heading back to Guiyang North Station to take the high-speed train home. The museum offers insights into human evolution and the history of different dynasties in Guizhou. Remember to book tickets in advance! Guiyang does have a metro system, but the underground streets can be confusing. We relied on ride-hailing services throughout the trip and booked a private tour for Huangguoshu. We stayed at Dream City near Guiyang North Station, which had plenty of dining options nearby. However, hotel prices during the summer were unreasonably high and not worth the cost. Many so-called hotels were just in name only. 💰 Average cost per person: HKD 4,000～

Jiaxiulou Jiaxiulou was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and "Jiaxiu" means "outstanding scholars". Currently, Jiaxiulou is designated as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council as part of the "Wenchang Pavilion, Hehe and Jiaxiulou", and has become a must-visit attraction for tourists in Guiyang. Jiaxiulou is divided into three parts: Fuyu Bridge, Jiaxiulou, and Cuiwei Garden, which are ancient and elegant architectural complexes. With the towering buildings of the city, the combination of ancient and modern styles echoes each other, making people sigh with emotion for the vicissitudes of history. Visit Jiaxiu Tower around 4pm, and if you're lucky, you can see the fiery clouds. Wander around and grab some food, and when night falls, take a stroll through the bustling night market streets to see the prosperity fade away. Address Guizhou Province, Nanning District, Xinhua Road, Cuiwei Lane, No. 8. Transportation Take bus routes 15, 48, or 305 and get off at "Jiaxiulou" stop. Parking nearby is inconvenient, so it is recommended to take a taxi or public transportation. Ticket Free admission Business hours All-day opening (the interior of Jiaxiulou and the buildings inside Cuiwei Garden are open from 09:00 to 17:00, closed on Mondays, and entry to the garden stops at 16:30).

When you go to Guiyang, you must taste the local specialties Silk Wawa Also known as vegetarian spring rolls, it is a common local traditional snack in Guiyang. You can see it on almost every street in Guiyang In addition to eating and drinking, you also need to check in at local attractions. Recommended: Jiaxiu Tower, White House, Huaguoyuan Twin Towers

Resting at about 1200 m altitude, Guiyang is a reasonably cold city in winter for that far south. What is striking about it, is the sheer amount of green the city incorporates. It does not therefore, come as a surprise, that its main sights are actually parks and forests and animals living there. We chose to stay in the center, near where the two metro lines cross. It was a solid location, but a bit further south, closer to the Nanming river, would have been optimal. If budget is not a consideration for you booking one of the upscale hotels with a view of the river and the Jiaxiu pavilion is a great option. Taking an evening stroll along the river was pleasant, Jiaxiu pavilion and especially the bridge it sits on have a really authentic feel to it. Further west down the river there are really nice murals that combined with some 'projector magic' tell really nice stories at night. Guiyang is also known as a liquor producer, so if you spot some buildings reminding you of liquor bottles it is not your imagination. What I found a bit infuriating about the city center is how restricted its streets and pavements feel. Very rarely will a street let you cross without shoving you down to a shabby looking underpass with no working escalator. While this works great for the traffic safety, it does make a casual stroll around the city quite annoying. But, where the Guiyang really shines and why it should be visited are its parks and forests. To start with QianLing Mountain Park was probably the best place we went to in Guiyang. A large centrally located park in the middle of the city has everything you would want from a park. Hills, forests, small lakes, temples, great views, a cable car for those less willing to hike, a small zoo and of course the monkeys. A lot of monkeys. A lot of always hungry monkeys. While I found them great and highly entertaining in their attempts to steal and rob you of anything that can count as food, some precaution might be in order. Keep your backpacks firmly zipped, your phone unexposed and in general do not show any food unless you are willing to have it taken from you. Apart from QianLing, Guiyang's aptly named forest park is another large park. I am actually not sure if there is an official entrance to this large patch of forest. I entered by a muddy road bypassing a construction site and exited on the other side through someone's vegetable farm. Still, the actual forest is really nice and large and there is a Red cross memorial for those interested in Wartime history. To sum up, we liked Guiyang, it felt rather different than most big cities. Really green, the city itself a bit rundown, but also laid back. #urbanexplorer#wintergetaway

Jiaxiu pavilion heritage landscape area is located in the mother river of Guiyang, the Nanming river fishing bay on the South of Gui mountain. Surrounded by the large river, Jiaxiu pavilion got a quite number of attractions around it namely the Fuyu bridge, International Buddhist temple, Cui Wei garden, Ji Hong bridge, Temple of Marquis among the few. These attractions and scenic spots all reflect the traditional Chinesr cultire of "harmony between man and nature" thought.

Jiaxiu Tower is located in central Guiyang, right next to the river area. We arrived on a February evening, but it was still a nice time of year to visit. The evening is definitely the best time to come here as it is accompanied by an illuminating light show of the pavilion itself along with the surrounding buildings. The various laser dances, multicolor lighting scenes and traditional music makes this a worthwhile attraction to visit in Guiyang. I especially enjoyed the reflective aspects of the lights off the water and the pavilion and bridge areas. It is easy enough to avoid the crowded areas and find a quiet spot to yourself to take photos and videos. 🏯🏯🏯 #tripblazers #tigeryear2022 #guiyang

The Jiaxiu Tower has a history of more than 400 years and still retains its original appearance in the center of Guiyang. This is extremely rare and of special significance. It was built in 1598 on a huge rock in the river. It is a three-story, three-eave, four-cornered, pointed-roof attic-style building. It has hundreds of years of history and has witnessed the changes therein. It is now one of the key cultural relics protected by the country. #Overseas Travel#Explore the Museum#I'm so worried

If you're looking for a place to roam around at night in Guiyang, this is a perfect place 🏯. Evenings are stunning with all the lights. They even have light shows in the lake. There is no entrance fee to roam around the tower 💴. There are lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. The street is very lively and there is a bus stop in front of the tower. #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

#holidayitinerary (Wenchang Pavilion & Jiaxiu Tower: 'The Celestial Light of Literature & The Martial Spirit of Guiyang') These are not mere towers; they are architectural mantras, chanting centuries of scholarly ambition and regional pride. Standing in the heart of Guiyang, these two structures are the city's cultural soul made visible. One, the Wenchang Pavilion, is a serene, cosmic observatory dedicated to the god of literature, a prayer for wisdom frozen in wood and tile. The other, the Jiaxiu Tower, is a defiant, elegant statement of regional confidence, built upon a river rock to "uplift the scholarly talent" of a land once considered remote. Together, they form a dialogue between the cosmic pursuit of knowledge and the earthly celebration of achievement. Explore these structures and decode their layered meanings: 📘 Wenchang Pavilion: The Cosmic Scholar Unique Architecture: This Ming Dynasty pavilion is a national rarity for its unique 9-corner, 3-tier, 9-eave structure. The numbers 3 and 9 are deeply auspicious in Chinese culture, representing heaven and the ultimate Yang number, reflecting its cosmic purpose. Stellar Alignment: Dedicated to Wenchang Dijun, the Taoist god of literature and culture, the pavilion was a place for scholars to pray for success in imperial examinations. Its design is said to be aligned with celestial principles. Atmosphere of Contemplation: Compared to Jiaxiu Tower, it exudes a more philosophical and tranquil vibe, set within a quiet courtyard, inviting quiet reflection. 🏯 Jiaxiu Tower: The River's Pride Iconic Foundation: Built upon a turtle-shaped rock (Fuyu Stone) in the Nanming River, connected to the bank by the Floating Bridge (Fuyu Bridge). It appears to rise directly from the water, a symbol of resilience and elegance. Symbol of Ambition: Its name, "Jiaxiu" (甲秀), means "First in Excellence" or "To Top the List of Scholars." It was constructed to literally and figuratively "improve feng shui" and assert Guizhou's place in the scholarly world of China. Vibrant Heartbeat: It is the postcard symbol of Guiyang. The surrounding area is lively, with teahouses and bustling streets. The tower is beautifully illuminated at night, creating a stunning reflection on the river.
