Guiyang is a modern capital city in southwest China. It is a city of contrast in many ways – old bricked alleyways and weathered homes running underneath ultramodern skyscrapers, and a prosperous 21st century city set among one of the most undeveloped regions of China. This is the political, cultural, and economic center of Guizhou Province.
Located in the geographic center of province it governs, Guiyang enjoys a relatively mild climate year round. Due to its high elevation summers stay comfortable and winters rarely dip below freezing. There is abundant rainfall year round, peaking in the summer months.
Walking the streets of Guiyang is a fascinating mix of people. Prosperous businessman, workers, destitute poor, fashion conscious woman, students, and Miao people in full costume can be seen any time of day. Foreigners are still a rare sight indeed and are greeted with a mixture of curiosity and hospitality that helps make daily life in Guiyang a very special experience.
