Travel For Phoebe2026-02-0817 min

In this travel vlog, I spend 48 hours in Guiyang, the vibrant capital of Guizhou Province, exploring one of China’s most underrated and colourful cities for the very first time. I start by wandering through Guiyang’s lively neighbourhoods, visiting local favourites like Qingyun Road, stopping by Captain George, and exploring the city’s striking cathedral and historic church. Guiyang’s energy, food scene, and everyday street life completely surprised me — this is not a city most international travellers ever see. From there, I head beyond the city to explore the natural beauty of Libo Cool Park, known for its dramatic karst landscapes, before visiting Yaoshan Ancient Village, where traditional culture, mountain scenery, and slower-paced life offer a totally different side of Guizhou, China. This episode is an honest, first-impression look at what travelling in Guiyang is really like, and why Guizhou Province deserves far more attention on any China itinerary. First time exploring Guiyang, China Walking through Guiyang neighbourhoods Qingyun Road street life Visiting Captain George Exploring Guiyang’s historic church & cathedral Day trip to Libo Cool Park Visiting Yaoshan Ancient Village Discovering Guizhou’s culture & landscapes If you’re planning a China travel itinerary, curious about Guiyang and Guizhou Province, or looking for off-the-beaten-path destinations in China, this vlog shows a side of the country most people never experience.
