Tips for Planning a Trip
If you are fascinated by Ethnic Customs, the best time to visit is during the Spring Festival Holidays and in early Spring. There are many charming local festivals and traditional customs celebrated at this time.
Avoid visiting Guiyang during the May Holidays (1st week of May) and National Holidays (1st week of October), for there will be many more Chinese tourists than other times.
It is local wisdom that no sunny days can last more than 3 days in Guizhou. Anytime is the rainy season here, especially in the late Spring and early Summer. Do bring an umbrella with you.
