Upon arrival at Guiyang Longdongbao Airport, take a roughly 30-minute drive to Qingyun Market—Guiyang's emerging trendy landmark. Here, traditional snacks, handmade crafts, and fashionable designs blend seamlessly. Explore freely, savor authentic silk dumplings and love tofu pudding, and feel the vibrant pulse of modern Guiyang.
After breakfast, depart from Guiyang and arrive at Qingyan Ancient Town after approximately one hour by car. Stroll through cobblestone streets dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, explore ancient city walls and temples, and immerse yourself in 600 years of history.
In the afternoon, drive to Yunfeng Tunpu. This “living fossil” of Ming Dynasty military settlement culture transports you back 600 years with its grandmothers dressed in Fengyang Han attire, stone-built ancient fortresses, and traditional earth opera performances.
As evening falls, head to Huangguoshu Waterfall for an extraordinary night tour. Amidst fantastical lighting designs and the symphony of natural water sounds, the waterfall transforms into a dazzling, luminous painting, delivering a breathtaking experience entirely distinct from daytime visits.
After breakfast, head to the majestic Huajiang Grand Canyon. Standing at the cliff's edge, you can not only gaze down upon the spectacular deep river valley but also look out over world-class bridge engineering marvels like the Huajiang Canyon Bridge spanning above, witnessing the miracle of humanity's dialogue with nature.
In the afternoon, arrive at Divine Spring Valley. Here, karst peaks intertwine with seasonal flower fields, creating a vibrant pastoral scene—an ideal spot for leisurely hikes and memorable photos.
Continue your journey into light and shadow at night. As dusk falls, the meticulously designed illuminations of Wujiang Village come alive, outlining the graceful silhouettes of stilted houses, ancient pagodas, and covered bridges. Glide along the river in a traditional paddleboat or witness a mesmerizing water light show, immersing yourself in the tranquil romance of this southwestern water town.
Departing from Wujiang Village, return to Guiyang and explore Qianling Mountain Park, hailed as “Qiannan's Premier Mountain.” Stroll through its grounds, where you may encounter wild macaques, visit Hongfu Temple, and savor nature's freshness in the heart of the city.
In the afternoon, experience a fascinating collision of time and space. Head to the trendy POP MART toy store in the city center, where you can freely browse and purchase your favorite collectible figures. Next, visit Guiyang's cultural landmark—Jiaxiu Tower. This pavilion, built during the Ming Dynasty, stands majestically over the Nanming River. Especially as the city lights begin to twinkle, its classical charm intertwines with the modern urban nightscape.
After breakfast, depart from your Guiyang hotel and head to Colorful Guizhou City for an immersive experience of Guizhou's ethnic cultures. You will then be transferred to Longdongbao Airport to conclude your itinerary.

Guizhou Travel Tips
1. Guizhou is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with an average altitude of around 1,000 meters. It is widely known that "it never clears up for three straight days" in Guizhou, as rainy and overcast weather is common, so remember to bring umbrellas or rain gear. Also bring appropriate seasonal clothing to stay warm.
2. Roads in scenic areas may be slippery during the trip; it is recommended to wear non-slip, comfortable shoes.
3. Huangguoshu Scenic Area has steep slopes; elderly visitors are advised to hold the handrails and take extra care for their safety.
4. When hiking or sightseeing in mountainous areas, stay close to the protective railings on narrow paths. Do not enter dangerous spots to take photos. Be cautious of crowds and collisions.
5. Guizhou is a multi-ethnic province where the local cuisine is mostly sour and spicy with strong flavors. The dietary habits differ significantly from those in Guangdong, so please be prepared for this difference.
6. In scenic areas requiring transfer to electric sightseeing vehicles or cruise boats, especially during busy periods, please follow the instructions of scenic area staff and your tour guide.
7. Due to relatively backward economic development in Guizhou, hotels of the same star rating may have fewer facilities and simpler conditions compared to those in Guangdong.
