I've returned from a disappointing trip to Guiyang, sisters who plan to go should think twice.

🌆Guiyang, a city hidden among mountains and rivers, is like a secluded pearl, exuding a unique charm. In winter, it sheds some of its bustling noise and adds a touch of tranquility and warmth, becoming a treasured destination for travel enthusiasts. 🐍Reasons to visit: Guiyang's winter doesn't have the biting cold winds of the north, nor the damp and unbearable cold of some southern regions.

Moreover, Guiyang in winter has a unique scenery, like Qianling Mountain shrouded in a thin veil, which is even more mysterious and serene. 📜Origin of the name: Guiyang is named after its location south of Mount Gui.
