During the drive, your guide will introduce you to Guiyang's history, Guizhou's unique ethnic culture, and some local recommendations for food and sightseeing. Since this is a private tour, we can adjust the pace and schedule according to your interests, making sure you enjoy the day without feeling rushed. After around 40–50 minutes by private vehicle, you'll arrive at Qingyan Ancient Town, the first highlight of today's journey. 

Step Into the Historic Charm of Qingyan Ancient Town
Walking into Qingyan Ancient Town feels like stepping back in time. Built during the Ming Dynasty over 600 years ago, this ancient town was originally established as a military fortress and later became an important cultural and commercial center in southern Guizhou. Today, its stone-paved lanes, traditional houses, ancient temples, and well-preserved city walls still reveal stories from centuries ago. Follow your guide through the narrow streets and discover the details that many visitors might overlook. You'll learn about the town's role in Guizhou's history, the mix of local cultures that shaped Qingyan, and the stories behind its unique architecture. Your guide will also help you find quieter corners away from the main streets, allowing you to experience the authentic atmosphere of this historic town.

As you explore, you can visit landmarks such as the ancient city wall, traditional courtyards, and historic temples. The combination of stone architecture, wooden buildings, and local residents' daily life creates a special atmosphere that makes Qingyan one of the most memorable cultural destinations around Guiyang.

Discover Local Flavors Along Qingyan's Ancient Streets
Exploring Qingyan is not only a journey through history but also a chance to experience Guizhou's distinctive food culture. While wandering through the old streets, you'll have the opportunity to try local specialties such as Qingyan pork trotters, rose sugar, tofu dishes, and other traditional snacks. Your guide will recommend authentic local shops and explain the stories behind these regional flavors. Instead of simply checking off famous foods, you'll get a better understanding of how Guizhou people enjoy their cuisine — with bold flavors, unique ingredients, and a strong connection to local traditions.

For lunch, we can arrange recommendations based on your preferences, whether you want to enjoy classic Guizhou dishes at a local restaurant or keep the meal simple so you have more time to explore.

Escape into Nature at Qianling Park
After exploring Qingyan Ancient Town, continue your journey to Qianling Park, one of Guiyang's most beloved urban parks and a perfect place to experience the city's natural side. Known as the "Green Pearl of Guiyang," the park combines lush forests, peaceful mountain paths, historic temples, and vibrant local life. Walking through the park with your guide, you'll discover why this is a favorite weekend escape for locals, where you may see residents practicing tai chi, chatting with friends, or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air. One of the highlights here is the chance to meet the park's famous macaques, which freely move through the forest and often appear along the walking trails. Your guide will share interesting stories about these playful animals and provide tips on how to observe them safely. You'll also visit the historic Hongfu Temple, a peaceful Buddhist site surrounded by greenery, where you can learn about its cultural significance and enjoy beautiful views over Guiyang city.

Return with Comfortable Private Transfer Service
After a full day exploring Guiyang's history, food, and nature, your driver will take you back to your hotel, Guiyang train station, or airport according to your schedule. With private transportation, a knowledgeable local guide, and flexible arrangements throughout the day, this tour allows you to experience Guiyang's highlights comfortably while gaining insights that go beyond a standard sightseeing trip.
