Guiyang - The capitol of Guizhou province

28.01.09
We arrived in on the train from Chengdu to Guiyang early in the morning. The city is surrounded by beautiful hills and the city itself is pretty compact. We visited the Guizhou provincial museum (a fairly new museum that displayed many nice and colourful costumes from the 17 different minority groups that live in the region) and Qianling park with many hills. On one of the hills we climbed we saw a bunch of wild monkeys. We also walked around the city and tasted some "small food" from the street vendors around town. In general we liked the city, but we saw quite alot of beggars compared to other cities we have been in so far. We got a night sleeper bus to Guilin the day we arrived, so we only spent one day in Guiyang, before we went on.
