Returned from suffering in Guiyang, really don't recommend coming in May

After visiting Guiyang, I discovered that while the climate in May is pleasant, there are several things to be aware of. Without proper planning, you might waste time taking unnecessary detours. Fortunately, I prepared in advance, so here's my guide to share with everyone 👇. Transportation Guide 🚗 • External Transportation: Flights arrive at Longdongbao Airport, which offers multiple transportation options to downtown including subway, buses, and taxis.

For short distances downtown, shared bikes or electric scooters are also options.

Tips to Avoid Pitfalls ⚠️ • Guiyang's UV rays are strong in May, bring sun protection items like sunscreen and sun hats. • Wild monkeys in Qianling Park may grab food from tourists, don't feed or provoke them. • Popular attractions like Qingyan Ancient Town get crowded during holidays, book tickets and accommodation in advance to avoid delays. • When enjoying local food, pay attention to food hygiene and choose reputable establishments to prevent stomach issues.
