Guiyang, Qingyan Ancient Town.Qingyan ancient Town is a 45 minute drive from the city, and a 15minute drive from Tianhetan. I highly recommend that you do these two places on the same day since they are both far out of the city but close to each other. To get there, you can get a taxi/Didi. This will take +-45mins depending on weather conditions and traffic. Make sure you have your green codes prepared in order to gain entry. Attractions - the ancient Town is similar to most ancient towns around China. It does have a few distinct qualities differentiating it from others around the country. Attractions here are the wall, the buildings, the environment and interesting architecture all around. Hotels - I didn't see any hotels near here but drive 15more minutes and you will find hotels near Tianhetan. Food & Restaurants - there are plenty of food stalls, the entire Ancient Town is one giant food attraction. Shopping - there are plenty of stores to shop local clothing and souvenirs. #ancienttown #guiyang #chinatravel #vlogger #instaPhila51

I have been to the ancient town and I have not felt much recently... and Huangyao Ancient Town, the ancient town of Dali, the same ancient town building, but a bit awkward, the big difference is that there is a city wall to climb up to play.
If you haven't been there, you can still go. It's too far. Bus 203 can be reached. But there is a city wall in it for more than an hour. You can go up and see there are many snacks selling pig's trotters. Just eat a meal and go back.
There are not so many buses from the city, you need to wait, and then the scenic area is very good, the core area is relatively simple and elegant and has the taste of the ancient town, the overall feeling is good, it is worth punching in, have time to feel it!
The location is a bit biased. If the weather is good, it is worth visiting. The bluestone road and the beautiful scenery are very comfortable to visit. It feels like the street of the ancient city of Phoenix, but it is not as serious as the commercialization of Phoenix. It’s okay to eat around the scenic spot, not so expensive, and the taste is really good.
Qingyan Ancient Town is still worth visiting, but the commercial area outside the ancient town is so big. At first, I couldn’t find the entrance to the ancient town. The road sign was not very clear. I didn’t need to buy a joint ticket. I bought a big ticket. Because the Great Wall is the most worth going to, there is also a back street. It's free.
First of all, the ticket is only ten yuan, and it is worth going. There are a variety of Guiyang local specialties, such as braised pork feet, intestines and noodles. Many young people are not here to take pictures. There are also many people who will climb the city wall of the ancient town to see the different scenery of the ancient town.
It is very close to Guiyang City, and the transportation is convenient. The scenic spot is not particularly large, two or three hours are enough. Compared with other ancient towns, it is slightly worse. There are not many ring-chuang decorations, which are slightly worn out. It is relatively worth going once.
