Overview
Guiyang, also known as the "Forest City" (thanks to its high forest coverage), is the capital city of Guizhou. And also, the gateway for a trip to Guizhou. The city has a lot to offer: various ethnic groups, breathtaking karst landscapes, delicious food, and many historic sites.
With continuous mountain ranges and dense forests embracing its 8,034 square kilometers of land, the city is blessed with a subtropical humid and moderate climate. The relatively cool summers make it a popular summer retreat in China.
If time permits, don’t just consider Guiyang as a gateway to Huangguoshu Waterfall or Xiaoqikong Scenic Area in Libo. The elegant architecture of Jiaxiu Tower, the breathtaking beauty at Qianling Mountain Park, and the history discovery in Qingyan Ancient Town all will make your time in Guiyang rewarding.
