💰Cost: Free
➡️Navigate to Ancient Buddha Cave Temple, it takes about an hour from Huaxi, and you can park directly at the temple entrance without a fee. It's a lesser-known temple in Guiyang, quiet and comfortable. Enter through the red temple gate, turn immediately left, and you can drive down to the yellow mountain gate. Then, follow the steps all the way, passing through a small cave, and suddenly the view opens up. The temple also has a cute guard dog. Walking further inside, there's another cave, and from there you can look down to see the glittering blue river. Just wander around, breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and relax your mind.
➡️Tips:
1. Since there were no other visitors when I went, the temple doors were closed. If you find the doors closed upon arrival, you'll need to go back and find a security guard to help open them.
2. Respect religious culture, do not make loud noises, and protect the environmental sanitation.
3. Do not touch the guard dog without permission.
4. Pay attention to safety while driving and on the road.

Breathtaking Sculptures, Art and chandeliers!
I’ve always wondered what differentiates between a good hotel, an average hotel and the best hotel, and I later realized, it is the service and of course the beauty of the surrounding area which contributes to the ranking of a hotel.
Today we make time to visit Huaxi’s Like hotel, a.k.a XiShanLi. It is one of the best hotels in Guiyang, particularly in Huaxi and it is well designed on the inside as well as the outside. One of the features that stands out or if I must say, what caught my eye was the chandeliers and the sculptures in the building. It’s just amazing, very good for social media posts.
It’s definitely worth checking out this hotel. I’m lovin’ it!
