In Guizhou, there are many options for getting around, such as taxis, buses, minibusses, and of course private drivers. There are also cars and bikes for rent.

Are there other options besides only local cuisine? The cuisine available in Guizhou is quite diverse. Because of the large ethnic minority population in Guizhou, the local food has an almost endless variety, and is far more delicious than anything you can find in a "Chinese" restaurant in the west. We highly suggest you try the foods. We are fairly certain you will love it. The capital of Guiyang has McDonald's and KFC for those who would like a break from Chinese food.

Foreign currencies cannot be used directly in Guizhou, but you can exchange your money at the many Bank of China outlets throughout the province. Most major hotels in Guiyang will accept major credit cards. Your hotels also can change money for you and ATMs are easy to find.

There will be a big temperature difference for day and night and in different regions in Guizhou. For example, In summer, the daytime tempreture could be above 20℃, while it may drop below 0℃ in some areas at night. So it will be better to check the weather of your destinations separately.
