📌Travel Tips:
- Book your hotel 2-3 weeks in advance.
- Check the closing time of attractions and plan your itinerary accordingly.
- Stay alert for underground passages while walking in Guiyang, and make sure to follow the signs.
- Bring an umbrella. Guiyang has frequent rain and strong UV radiation, and an umbrella can provide both shade and a rain cover.
- Most cuisines in Guiyang are spicy. If you have a low tolerance for spicy food, inform the restaurant owner in advance.
- Guiyang's weather is changeable, so it's always a good idea to bring an umbrella, a few sets of warm clothing, and sun protection.
- Wear comfortable shoes since many scenic spots in Guiyang are located in the mountains.
- If you suffer from motion sickness, prepare medicine in advance since many scenic spots in Guiyang require long car rides.
- Visit Qingyan Ancient Town before 5 p.m. since most shops close early. Otherwise, you might miss many local delicacies.
- Be cautious when purchasing jade, Miao silverware, Maotai wine, and other souvenirs in Guiyang. Some shops sell counterfeit goods, or cheat you out of your money.
- Don't bring a large luggage when traveling in the mountains or in scenic areas. Instead, store it at your hotel or the scenic spot's storage sites to avoid fatigue.
- Be wary of overly enthusiastic people who introduce restaurants to you. They are usually scam artists, especially in unfamiliar places.
