Highlands Coffee, Bo'ai Road

Highlands Coffee on Bo'ai Road is a branch of the Vietnamese coffee chain located at 1 Liudong Street, 1 Bo'ai Road, in Guiyang's Nanming District, about two minutes' walk from People's Square. It is a budget cafe offering espresso drinks, Vietnamese-style coffee, iced tea and light snacks, and it serves as a practical, air-conditioned stop in the central city rather than a regional food destination. The menu centres on coffee and iced tea, the two signature items, with prices of about CNY 30 to 50 (roughly $4 to $7) per drink, which is moderate for a chain cafe in Guiyang. The venue suits visitors who need a rest, wifi or a place to meet near the main square, and its location close to People's Square and surrounding shopping streets makes it convenient for breaks during city sightseeing. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern, typical of international-style coffee chains in China, with comfortable seating, background music and a mix of students, office workers and shoppers. Noise is low to moderate, no dress code applies, and service is counter-based. There is no reservation system, and tables are taken on a walk-in basis. Opening hours are listed as Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 23:00 and Sunday from 15:00 to 23:00, so mornings on Sundays are not covered. The shop can be reached by phone at +86 851 8582 6222 for those wanting to confirm hours. The cafe is not a place to sample Guizhou cuisine, but its central position and long evening hours make it useful for a late coffee or a quiet place to plan the next day. Visitors seeking local flavour may prefer Guizhou tea houses or street stalls elsewhere in the city, while those wanting familiar drinks and reliable seating will find this branch dependable. The coordinates place it in the heart of Nanming District, within easy reach of the metro and several bus lines.
