Maotai Ice Cream Experience Shop (茅台冰淇淋体验店)

The Maotai Ice Cream Experience Shop (茅台冰淇淋体验店) is a small takeaway dessert counter on the first floor of the Kempinski Hotel Guiyang, 82 Huguo Road, in central Guiyang. It sells ice cream containing 2% Maotai liquor, a novelty product that links the dessert to Guizhou's most famous export. Maotai (Moutai) is the baijiu from the town of Maotai in the north of the province, and its sauce-aroma style is central to Chinese drinking culture; the ice cream version offers a milder and more accessible way to taste a hint of it. A cone costs about CNY 67 (roughly $9), which is high for ice cream in China and reflects the brand association and the hotel location. The signature offering is the Maotai ice cream itself, served in a cone, and the shop concentrates on that single product rather than a broad menu. Service is takeaway only, so there is no seating area dedicated to the shop, and visitors usually eat while walking or sit in the hotel's public areas where permitted. The atmosphere is that of a polished hotel-lobby kiosk: orderly, quiet, and geared toward curious tourists and local visitors buying a souvenir-style treat. There is no dress code and no reservation system, and queues are usually short outside weekends and holidays. Listed opening hours are daily from 09:00 to 23:00, giving flexibility for an afternoon or after-dinner stop. Because the product contains a small amount of alcohol, it may not suit children, drivers or those avoiding alcohol, and visitors should check the label or ask staff. The central Huguo Road address makes the shop easy to add to a walk around Guiyang's downtown, and it works well as a light finish to a meal of heavier Guizhou dishes such as sour soup fish. For travellers interested in the province's food and drink identity, it is a short, memorable and easily photographed stop rather than a full dining experience.
