Guiyang China Travel Information

Guiyang Travel Guide

Guiyang, capital of southwest China's Guizhou Province has been gradually thrust into tourist limelight as the best city in China to escape summer heat. In 2006 Guiyang had the distinction of being chosen as the best summer destination in China. But the result does little justice to the city's pleasant summer weather condition and unique charm. 

Guizhou's natural scenery is very impressive but the patent ethnic savor steals the shows. China's west frontiers are nicknamed as the corridors of the nation's minority peoples as these regions are inhabited by China's largest ethnic population. Compared with other provinces in Southwest China, ethnic groups in Guizhou are more pristine, simple and mysterious. The strong exotic flavor is the nub of Guizhou's tourism resources and it’s the various ethnic communities scattered throughout the region embellish the physical space and add more dynamics and vitality to nature. more about Guiyang »

Hi, Jennifer. Thank you for visiting our web site and your interest in our services. My name is Nora Ou. I am a travel advisor at China Highlights. It is my pleasure to assist you. I’ve looked for the information of those caves you mentioned, but there are so many air-raid shelter caves in Guiyang, I’m not sure which are the ones you mentioned. Other than they are in the hills, can you inform more about the caves, such as which part of Guiyang are they in? We will try our best to collect information for you. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me at nora@chinahighlights.com.
