Things to do in Guiyang

A must-see attraction in one's lifetime, easily accessible and boasting exceptionally beautiful scenery. One ticket allows for two days of sightseeing, providing ample time. An elevator has also been added to reduce fatigue for seniors. Besides the world-famous waterfall, the stones of Tianxin Bridge and the karst caves are also remarkable. Absolutely breathtaking.

Worth a visit! The weather was perfect; we even saw the Emerald Green. Enter from the East Gate, take the sightseeing bus from there to Wolongtan (Sleeping Dragon Pool) at the West Gate, and then continue towards the East Gate. The whole trip is easy and the scenery and cleanliness are fantastic! 😎

Overall, the experience at Yelang Valley was excellent. The uniquely shaped stone carvings in the valley exuded a sense of mystery, which particularly captivated the children. We were fortunate enough to witness a Nuo dance performance; the ancient masks paired with dynamic dance moves provided an immersive experience of intangible cultural heritage. Strolling along the stream-lined path felt like stepping into a fantastical stone kingdom. The scenic area isn't large and can be easily explored, making it perfect for family outings. You can enjoy the scenery while telling your children the stories of the ancient Yelang Kingdom.

Qingyan Ancient Town, with a history of 600 years, boasts beautiful bluestone roads, ancient and mottled city walls, a family of outstanding talents from the Zhao family, street performers, and of course, the must-try Qingyan Zhuangyuan Trotter.

The scenic area boasts a pleasant environment, featuring a naturally formed water-eroded cave with stunning scenery, making it a truly unique and worthwhile destination. There are also waterfalls and bamboo rafts for a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Transportation is convenient, and there's plenty of food, drinks, and entertainment to enjoy.

Located at No. 187 Zaoshan Road, Yunyan District, Guiyang City, only 1.5 kilometers from the city center, the park was established in 1957 and is a national 4A-level scenic spot. Admission is free (reservations required), Hongfu Temple incense and flower tickets cost 2 yuan, and cable car/zoo services are charged separately. It integrates mountains, forests, springs, lakes, caves, temples, and monkeys, and is known for its "premium location in the city, beautiful in nature." 🌟Highlights & Must-Visit Spots 1. Wild Macaque Troops: A rare semi-wild urban macaque troop (over a thousand individuals) concentrated around the Jiuqu Path and Hongfu Temple. Great for photos, but please do not feed them and keep an eye on your belongings. 2. Hongfu Temple + Jiuqu Path: Guizhou's first temple (during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty). Climb the 383 stone steps of the Jiuqu Path, accompanied by cliff carvings and ancient pavilions; the temple features ancient Buddha caves and Buddhist scriptures, and is a popular place of worship. 3. Qilin Cave: A karst cave where Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng were once under house arrest; it combines natural scenery with revolutionary history. 4. Qianling Lake + Kanzhu Pavilion: The lake is wide enough for boating; Kanzhu Pavilion on Daluo Ridge offers panoramic views of Guiyang city, with stunning sunsets. Visitors can hike or take a cable car up the mountain. 5. Zoo/Panda House: A long-established city zoo with a South China tiger breeding base, suitable for family-friendly educational activities; high vegetation coverage and abundant negative oxygen ions.

This is my second time bringing my kids here. As they are happy, I am happy too. During the rafting process, I found that the safety measures here are sufficient. My two kids floated ahead of me and I arrived safely at the destination.

The Taoyuan River rafting is excellent, offering plenty of excitement and being relatively safe, but it must be done on a sunny day because the water is extremely cold. Overall, it's all worth it.

The gentle drizzle awakens memories of autumn's coolness in my hometown. I arrived full of anticipation, and left with a heart full of longing. This city, nestled in the folds of the mountains, healed a period of time with its coolness and vibrant life. Goodbye, my land of refreshing potatoes! The green mountains and evening breeze are packed away; may you cherish the 23°C summer in your heart. [Smug][Smug][Smug][Heart][Heart][Heart]

The park is quite large, with a wide variety of attractions. I guess not many people know about it, so there are relatively few visitors. There's no queue for each attraction; the staff will help anyone who wants to try it, whether it's just one or two people, start it. This is a great touch. The staff were friendly and patient with reminders, even with relatively few people. A great place to take the kids out, highly recommended.
